Words I Love, Volume 6

The poems of Words I Love: An Earthly/Heavenly Romance spring from the experience of a man "losing" his wife after thirty years of marriage. The poems appeared sporadically at first but, eventually, became a mainstay of the widower's daily life. The poems are love letters between an earthly man and his heavenly wife, reflecting an ongoing spiritual union. Death was seen to be, not the end of their life together, but the beginning of a new life experienced on a higher spiritual plane than before. The husband had no idea whatsoever that this new life with his wife was even possible. When his wife died, he presumed that she was dead and gone. Now he realizes, with immense gratitude, that his wife is "alive and here," and he looks forward, every day, to reading and writing love letters from heaven.
