Mourning To Morning : A Widower's Poetic Journey

This book of poetry chronicles the author's journey from mourning the death of his wife of over forty-nine years to the morning of a burgeoning new love for a widow he met online and married twenty-two months later. The poems show the depth of grief experienced after the loss of a loved one, family tensions that arise over the way each person grieves, new love, misunderstandings and ensuing gossip, romance, humor, desire, fulfillment, and the challenges of blending families, introducing cats and dogs, and living ones faith in the modern world. This is a tale of mature love in the modern age of dating sites, email, text messaging, and Skype. It includes one hundred-forty original poems that have never been published in print. The poems not only speak to those who have experienced a loss but to anyone at any age who have ever loved.
