Compassionately Spoken is a diversified collection of spontaneous thoughts converted into poetry, miscellaneous articles and a short story at the end. These writings are thought provoking, informative, serious, funny, sad, and some lend credence to the spiritual aspect of our lives as well. Many of these poems are written for "those left behind" which is a specialized area of poetry written for encouragement when someone suffers the loss of family or friends through death. You will note similarities in some of these particular poems as certain thoughts can only be expressed in so many ways. However, everyone has shared death at some point in their lives and no one needs encouragement more than this select group. I hope you will enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed writing them.
