My Basket of burdens
Is filled with the grief of my loss

Although this road I must cross.

My Basket of burdens
Is filled with the grief of my loss
It is so heavy to carry
Although this road I must cross.

Tell me it's okay
To just want to cry.
Tell me it's okay
To never say goodbye.
You have served your time
and lived out your days.
You have now made the move
from your house of clay.

I lie awake long into the night,
Hoping that maybe you just might
Give me a call to say you're okay
And let me know you made it through the day.
Time cannot erase the sorrow and pain that I feel,
Nor can it make things better
Or force my heart to heal.

By the shore of Sorrow's sea,
waves of tears roll endlessly,
cries that pierce this misty veil,
The hills, the valleys
and the bends.
Going up and down each day,
wondering if my heart will mend.
The years we've shared have been full of joy.
The memories we've made will go on and on.
I haven't stopped crying since you went away,
and I've asked God time and time why you couldn't stay.
Thank you for this poem. I lost a good friend 8 months ago. He didn't die; he just broke off things with me. Just like that. We hadn't quarreled at all, nothing. He lives on the other side of...
It's true what they say, when a child is born,
a mother's heart is no longer her own.
It runs and skips and giggles and grins,
And crawls in her lap for a kiss on the chin,

Holding out these empty arms
Cursing my disillusionment
Why did I imagine it could be any other way
that I could have been content, dreams that's all it was

Remember me with laughter, for I loved to make you smile.
I'll be that funny thought you haven't thought of in a while.
Remember me when sunshine is streaming on your face;
the warmth that you are feeling is me and my embrace.
With angels on this summer day,
you never woke; you slipped away.
Now day just dims into the night.
Linda, You ask me how I go on, I wish I could tell you. I'm exactly where you are. I feel no peace in my son Chris's passing, Chris was long into recovery he was on a low dose antidepressant...

Precious in your little frame, you danced into my heart.
