A poem written while a girl was in the healing process of loosing her father.

In Our Hearts

©  Rose de Leon
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
In Our Hearts by Rose de Leon @FamilyFriendPoems

I lost my sister Ann a year and a half ago due to heart problems and I just wanted to let you know how much your poem has touched me. Ann was my only sibling and the poem helped me to remember that she is not really gone, she is always with me. Your poem has brought me comfort and I am so grateful to you for that. Every day is hard, so even the littlest things that can bring peace are invaluable. Thank you so much. God bless.

this is a wonderful poem for all that have lost someone close to them. I lost my dad two years ago to cancer when I was 14 and this poem reminds me that although he is gone, we will meet again

My step-dad died 7 years ago, I never knew my real dad, so my step-dad was the next best thing, I looked up to him, idolized him, wanted to be just like him. My Dad was the world to me, this poem has toughed me deeply, thanks you.

Your poem is very amazing. I lost my Mum 2yrs ago & my Dad 1yr ago. I think about them everyday and say goodnight to the stars each night. I am so afraid of being apart from them but your poem reminder me that they are with me forever until we meet again. Thank you...xx

May 5th, 2008. Cinco de Maio. Leticia's 12th birthday. My friend and colleague, Linda was all excited about celebrating her daughter's that night. After school, Leticia raced downstairs to our classroom and couldn't wait to get her party started. When Leticia ran into the house that afternoon, calling out to her Dad, she found him in the dining room, on the floor, by the treadmill. Dominique was 57.

I am sending this poem to Leticia and Linda. They will be going to Florida to find a way to celebrate her 13th birthday.

Thank- you for this poem. Having lost my dad when I was 43, I feel fortunate to have had him so long compared to those I read about this morning. My dad is always near and for that I am grateful.
