    About this ebook

    A Crown of Gold Leaf is a collection of poems that captures the feelings of those who have suffered a great loss. The loss may be the result of a failed relationship or a distance beyond one’s control. More tragically, it may be caused by the death of a spouse, friend, or sibling. Even the loss of something in nature can cause unexpected grief. However, this is a book about the inevitable cycle of life, sometimes sad but often filled with precious memories. It honors the life of those who have crossed the great divide and the courage of those whom they have left behind. After a time, it will be the good things that we, in grief, cling.

    The Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew 5:1–12a include, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
