IT IS DONE
in Prayer Poems
Time has passed
The road we have walked
Things we've said
When the road is forked

About Raelene J. Elliss
Many years ago, Raelene J. Elliss’ brother passed away in a drowning accident at a popular surf beach in South Australia. Her heart was broken, and the strain of the grief was unbearable. She had no idea how to express her feelings about that tragic loss.
One very warm evening, as she lay awake, unable to sleep due to the worry in her life, she wrote down her feelings on a scrap of paper. Out of that scrawling came her first poem. That was in 1986, and now more than 30 years down the track, Raelene has written more than 200 poems. They have mainly been for her family in celebration of milestones, birthdays, and Christmas.
She developed a knack for picking up a word, phrase, or very funny situation that would inspire a poem. She calls herself the Poetic Rambler and signs her poems as such. Raelene hopes that her poems bring joy and inspiration to whoever reads them.

Stories
The author should most definitely be published in special cards for births. It's just perfect.
Aw, I can picture the dearly departed shoes holding their place in the garden living a proud life as a shoe pot.
Hilarious and so relatable. I wrote a poem many years ago about the same topic. Alarms!
Daylight saving can either be a blessing or a curse. Thanks for the laugh. Australia is currently enjoying summer daylight saving time. Loved the verse.
All these years later and these words resonate as strongly as they did when this little boy died. There's no greater human love than a mother and child.
