Loss Poem

The loss of a loved one is never easy, and this author has lost a bunch. This poem is a tribute to them.

Loved Ones

© Laura L. Lewis
Loved ones are precious
I know this for a fact
And when you lose one
It’s like an attack

I've lost some loved ones
To many different things
I hate losing loved ones
But it’s a bell that has to ring

Loved ones are special
I have many I should know
But it just seems
I couldn’t let them go

You try so hard
To hold on
But in one small second
Loved ones are gone

Sometimes at night
I pray for lost loved ones
Even though they won’t come back
This poem is for them the loved ones

Lloyd Nadine
Rhonda Trish
And Ashley
I love you all

  • Hi um my names Lisa and I'm 14. I've lost 2 family members to cancer and my uncle is next, I'm scared and I wrote this for him xx your poem encouraged me x

    The pain and sorrow is so much to bare,
    Knowing that you will not always be there,
    By my side, whispering in my ear,
    Not to worry and not to fear.
    Not to hide and drift away,
    But to stay strong and live another day.

    Live another day?
    I can only try,
    But my soul is dyeing and fading away
    For every time I hear you cry,
    The pain builds up and tears run down,
    My cheeks and fall to the cold ground.

    I hold you now in this time of sorrow,
    But I may not be able to hold you tomorrow.....

  • I loved your poem. It touched me and a lot. My grandpa passed away about a year ago. He had stomach cancer and it was very painful to see him suffer. He was 85 yrs old. I really miss him but you know what he doesn't suffer anymore and he is saving me a spot right next to him. Loved your poem

  • My best friend died 1 year ago to breast cancer. I still haven't gotten over her. I'm hoping I'll move on but at the same time, I don't want to. Your poem is inspirational and touching. Love it!

  • I lost my sister and my Dad both to cancer within a couple of years, my sisters funeral being on Monday... You try and find words and can't find the right ones but this says it perfectly for me.

  • Today my grandmother passed away... I can only say that I miss her. Is that enough? I feel like another part of me has gone and it won't come back. It's like all the colors are gone. I'm twelve but I was the only one there who wasn't crying it's as if I couldn't feel anything, after I read your poem it's as if I knew she was okay.

  • I really like your poem because when I was just a little girl my grandma died from lung cancer. I was on the internet when my mom came in the room in said my grandma just pasted away. She was crying and everything I didn't know what to do it was like my head was about to bust. My mom told me I was gone have to look up some poems for grandmas funeral I started busting out crying. I still looked up poems. It was last year I was 12 when she died. When I first spotted your poem and read it I told my mom we could use yours. You made me feel like she was better off were she was then suffering.

  • Words are easily said but these word speak the truth . I've lost my aunty who raised me as her own to lung cancer. I will never grow apart from her, she is apart of me that I will never let go. But your poem gives me hope that she is right here next to me.

  • My great uncle passed last week (Sunday) and he was such a nice guy. He was loved by many and when we were at his funeral there was a lovely poem inside the card. The poem was so good that it made everyone cry cause it was so true. I'm afraid to lose any more of my family. I love them all to dearly. I'm sorry for everyone's loss. You will all be in my prayers.

  • I lost my Grandfather and my little brother in the same year. In 2005. 2 months apart from cancer. That was the hardest time in my life. My mum asked my brothers, my sister and myself to say something at my little brothers funeral. Somehow they all managed to find words to say but just now reading that poem I would have read that but honestly no matter what I would have said, they're gone, but at least they know how much I miss them and love them with all my heart.

  • Hey my name is Samantha I am 16 my mum passed away a year ago on the 11th of September 2012. When I was younger I didn't really have a nice childhood I was in and out of care from the age of 5 then when I was 10 I met my dad then I wasn't allowed to see my mum which hurt. Then I got told my mum had passed away at that moment I broke down the pain I was in I can't explain. I wanted to die myself, they say the pain will go away but it won't. The hardest thing is that I didn't get to say good bye I should of got the chance to. I love her so much and I want all this pain to go away. Love you mum I will never ever forget you and can't wait till we meet again.

  • I lost my cousin recently in a motorbike accident, me and him were like brother and sister and it hit me pretty hard and now his little brother is considering suicide because he wants his big brother back. I am scared to lose another little cousin and I blamed myself for the accident even though I was on the other side of the country when it happened. I still see his face every night when I fall asleep and I would do anything to hear his voice again. I love you Joel, never forgotten

    I look up to the heavens knowing that you are angels now, I pray everyday cause I know you are listening to me, it's not easy to say goodbye so I never will but I will say see you later cause I know we will meet, I smile cause everyday even if it hurts, I miss you I guess god needed his angels back next to him so I will say I love you till we meet again.
