"Oh Lord ... I reorganized my wife's cupboards, and she was not pleased." This book of insightful prayers would make a wonderful holiday gift for an older person, family members and nursing home staff. Readers of all ages will respond to the themes of loss, hope, acceptance, love and faith, so keep a copy by your bedside to sample the understated power of poetic writing that cuts to the essence of everyday life. Apt scriptural quotations follow each poem, pointing the way to the solace and lyricism of the Bible and a deepening connection with the divine. Hallman's prayers remind the reader of the infinite small ways that we sustain one another's emotional and physical needs and they convey the ironies and humor, the vulnerabilities and quiet triumphs of daily life, for the aged and the not so aged.
