Notes About The Poem

August Acrostic Sponored By Andrea Dietrich

Written 8/6/2023

August

August a month of birthdays and death.
Upon the death of my soulmate's breath.
Gifts of love, a grandson's birthday.
Use of time together summer play.
Stillness, unending time of fill strife.
Trials which are to come in my life.

H Eve my good friend, one soul was leaving earth soon, The Greek Orthodox faith believes that a soul will be around in your space for 6 weeks, until he/she moves on. and as that soul goes up a new soul and spirit is awaiting to be delivered to Planet Earth. Sad but true one day not for a long while however, because your grandson loves and needs, you, but you will meet your soulmate again and will meet up him. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
