21. My Mother A Rose
A rose so rare,
one of its kind,
love and beauty a mother,
yes!

I woke up to see the bright Connecticut sky.
My mom came in with a holiday twinkle in her eye.
She helped me get dressed and the morning flew by.

Do not stand beside my grave and cry
Because I am not there
I am still alive
Thank you all. Reading your stories makes me feel like I'm not alone. I miss my brother. Two weeks before his birthday God took him. Today is his birthday, and I want to give my best present....
It's been so long since you've been gone
It still hurts all day long
There isn't a day that goes by
Without me thinking why
In love of memory of my brother (Stephen), age 34. He passed away on 10/03/2017. My brother sadly left from a massive heart attack. They brought him back, but after 3 days his body shut down...
As each passing day goes by
A tear falls from my eye
With each day passing me
A memory comes to mind
I can sincerely relate to this poem. Every year I celebrate my deceased daughter's and grandson's birthdays. I lost them in a car accident in 2004. Birthdays have always been special in my...
The very first month
Of each passing year
Brings up your birthday
Even though you're not here.
The day you left us was heartbreak and sorrow.
The day you left us we saw no tomorrow.
The day you left us we didn't understand.
The day you left us God had you by the hand.
I dedicate this poem to my mum and dad, who died within a week of each other.
I lost you all those years ago,
But memories don't fade; they grow.
Your special day will always be
One that means so much to me.
Your birthday is here again,
but in heaven you will be.
We will celebrate your special day
visiting you and your memorial tree.

Just as the sun began to rise,

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.
Within my heart beats a separate pulse
With a rhythm all its own.
It comforts me in my times of need
And keeps me from feeling alone.
The strongest branch has fallen
From our family tree.
God had his way; he's taking me home,
So you need not grieve for me.

Since the day the skies turned gray
It was then I thought of you

I'll wait patiently here in heaven
For the day that you make your presence.

And what was on your mind

They were the ones who made us smile
