You Are My Sunshine
- By Donna Donathan
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2008 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this 28 years ago for someone very special in my life...

in Sweet Love Poems

You brought me sunshine
when I only saw rain.
You brought me laughter
when I only felt pain.

You brought me sunshine
when I only saw rain.
You brought me laughter
when I only felt pain.

Romantics at heart?
Love at first sight?
Have I known you before?
God! This feels so right!

Have I met you before?
Another time, another place?
If it's only one night,
will it bring us disgrace?

What are these feelings?
Must they be temporary?
Just to make you happy
seems so necessary.

I want you to know,
'cause I'll never forget -
knowing your smile,
your kisses and yet...

Dreams are something,
that can't always come true,
nothing more we can say,
nothing more we can do.

To Fill Her Heart With Hope

I wrote this poem for my wonderful mum who felt so very alone when my dad passed away. I wrote it to fill her heart with some sort of hope.

Poem About Grief And Loss Of A Husband

in Husband Death Poems

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.

You weren't there to see her wake.
She didn't see your smile,
for when she does, she feels like
her days are all worthwhile.

She went into work today,
kids running through the halls.
She looked at plans for tomorrow
and is sad when nobody calls.

She got in her car to go home today.
On the radio she heard a song;
it reminded her of you
and how hurtful it is you're gone.

She went out with a friend tonight,
smiled and wore a brave face,
for all she really wants in life
is to have you in this place.

She gets a daunting feeling,
one that won't disappear.
What's the point in all of this?
What's the point when you're not here?

She went to sleep that night,
tried to prepare for the days ahead.
If she looks real careful,
you're there on your side of the bed.

Stroke her hair and tell her
that no matter what life throws,
you have a love like no other;
in death it continues to grow.

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.

You WERE there to see her wake,
and she could see your smile,
and when she did, she realized
you're only absent for a while.

She closes her eyes and in the dark,
she knows she'll see you again.
The only thing that troubles her
is not being able to say when.

For now, she must be patient,
and one day her time will come,
and you'll be there to take her hand
and safely guide her home.

Having Regrets After Ending A Relationship

in I'm Sorry Love Poems

How could I be so stupid
To let you slip away?
I had you in my arms,
But I let you slip away.

How could I be so stupid
To let you slip away?
I had you in my arms,
But I let you slip away.

I want you back,
But now it's too late.
I've already said goodbye,
And now love has turned to hate.

I want to go back in time
And fix all that was wrong,
Change all of my regrets
So we didn't fight as long.

The regrets are what messed it up,
And they were all my fault.
I was so immature;
I should have acted like an adult.

I broke my own heart
When I walked out on you.
Now it's too late,
And I can't undo.

I still love you,
But nobody knows
We are no longer together
Because of what I chose.

It was a bad decision,
And now I want you here.
Never far away,
Always near.

So please take me back,
And catch me when I fall
'Cause I need you right now
More than anything at all.

When I'm With You

This poem is about how I felt when I was with my love.

Being In Love Poem

in True Love Poems

In your arms,
I'm in my safe haven.
With you holding me tight,
I have no other craving.

In your arms,
I'm in my safe haven.
With you holding me tight,
I have no other craving.

All I need
is that one look
that says you're always there,
just like in a fairy tale book.

Your eyes talk to me
as the world stands still.
My once empty heart
now with love does fill.

Your eyes tell me
that you'll love me every day.
No matter what may come,
you'll be there to stay.

I tell you everything
and never with a lie:
all my worldly secrets
and everything that once made me cry.

Everything in my past,
with you I can forget it all.
I know I can trust you
to catch me if I fall.

If only I could explain
how much love I have for you.
Then maybe, just maybe,
you'd feel it too.

You

I wrote this to my girlfriend. It's easy when you have such a great muse.

Love Poem To Girlfriend

in Poems for Her

It's that look in your eye.
It's the smile on your face
That makes time slip by,
And I know I'm in a better place.

It's that look in your eye.
It's the smile on your face
That makes time slip by,
And I know I'm in a better place.

It's the memories of you I have
That make any grey sky turn blue
And lets me know these feelings I have
Are true.

Getting lost in my dreams
With the mere image of you.
It's hard to imagine; it seems
A future lost, one without you.

So I leave my arms open,
And I'll wish and may pray,
Eyes focused and hoping
For your embrace just one more day.

Forever Love Once In A Lifetime Poem

in Romantic Poems

No words could ever tell you,
No action could express
The way I feel about you.
With you, my life is blessed.

No words could ever tell you,
No action could express
The way I feel about you.
With you, my life is blessed.

You're the light in my tunnel.
You are my pot of gold.
You are the strength that gets me through
When despair has taken hold.

You're my once in a lifetime.
You make my life complete.
You are my blue ribbon
In the shadow of defeat.

There's nothing I could ever say
And nothing I could do
To let you know just how much
Love is in my heart for you.

Forever Grateful: A Poem About A Special Friendship

in Special Friend Poems

I don't think you will
Ever fully understand
How you've touched my life
And made me who I am.

I don't think you will
Ever fully understand
How you've touched my life
And made me who I am.

I don't think you could ever know
Just how truly special you are,
That even on the darkest nights
You are my brightest star.

You've allowed me to experience
Something very hard to find,
Unconditional love that exists
In my body, soul, and mind.

I don't think you could ever feel
All the love I have to give,
And I'm sure you'll never realize
You've been my will to live.

You are an amazing person,
And without you I don't know where I'd be.
Having you in my life
Completes and fulfills every part of me.

Growing Up With Grandma

Poem About Adoption

in Grandmother Poems

I don't know when it happened.
I don't know when she came,
But she's the one I always knew.
Grandma was her name.

I don't know when it happened.
I don't know when she came,
But she's the one I always knew.
Grandma was her name.

She taught me how to tie my shoes.
She taught me how to talk,
And though I can't remember,
I think she taught me how to walk.

When all the other kids in school
Would talk about Mom and Dad,
I wondered where my parents were;
That made me kinda sad.

And sometimes there were days I'd cry
Or hide my head in shame.
But Grandma took it all in stride
And loved me all the same.

She'd wrap her arms around me
And kiss me on the head.
She'd tell me that she loved me
When she tucked me into bed.

Being a teen, I remember the days
When being with friends was more fun.
And I wondered what it would have been like
To actually be someone's son,

To have a regular family,
Some siblings, a mom, and a dad.
What had I done to deserve less than others?
Sometimes I felt so mad.

"It's alright, it's okay," Grandma would say.
"One day you'll understand why.
Life just isn't fair to everyone, you see.
It's always okay to cry."

And when I went off to college,
I met the love of my life.
It was Grandma who was the first I told
That I planned to make her my wife.

Soon after I'd become a father,
For that I could hardly wait.
To have a child of my very own,
And to make my Grandma a "Great."

A little girl to share her name,
For all that she'd given me.
So much I owed to Grandma.
That was plain to see.

As time passed and life grew short
I hoped my Grandma knew
That it was her love and her support
That always got me through.

If I could tell her one more thing,
"Thanks Grandma," is what I 'd say,
"For loving me and making me
The man I am today."

A son writes a poem to his father, telling his dad just how terrific he is.

in Father Poems

Analysis of Form and Technique

To a dad who is terrific,
To a dad who's real neat,
To a dad who makes the best of things,
Even when they're not so sweet!

To a dad who is terrific,
To a dad who's real neat,
To a dad who makes the best of things,
Even when they're not so sweet!

To a dad who's growing older,
To a dad who's going gray,
To a dad who just gets smarter,
It would seem from day to day!

To a dad who has potential,
To a dad who is the best,
To a dad who's been successful,
And who drowns out all the rest!

To a dad I admire,
To a dad I can trust,
To a dad I appreciate.
That's what makes this rhyme a must!

To a dad I call father,
To a dad who's held it through,
To a dad I'll love forever,
Because Dad, you know it's YOU!
