1. I Wonder What You Really Thought
I wonder what you really thought
And what was on your mind
The answers to those questions
You never seemed to find
The act of creating a poem is a memorial for one who has passed away. It is an act of spirituality. A memorial tells the world that while our loved one may be gone his or her spirit lives on. This individual will forever be tied together in the circle of life. Our Loved One's life mattered and continues to matter. Their acts of goodness and courage will never be forgotten. A memorial is a way to remember a loved one forever.

Fragile is a single life the brave so freely give.
Bound for immortality, their souls will surely live.
Death, don't be proud for what you took, they freely gave away.
Their quest for freedom far outweighed the fear that you convey.

I took a walk this morning
Just as the sun began to rise,
And the inky clouds encompassed her
And cluttered up the skies.
Dear Aaron,
Your comment is so touching. I wish you could share the melody with me. I'm just so happy that you can hear that melody and have paid such a beautiful tribute to my words by...
Dear Mother, I've so much to tell you,
I wouldn't know where to begin.
There's so much I've learned in the years since you've gone,
How I long to just see you again.
Socks glide across the kitchen floor,
Arms spin me around once more.
Best time I ever had,
Was dancing with my Dad.
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.
When I remember you, I remember the first time we met.
I look back at our time together with absolutely no regret.
When I remember you, I remember the first time I looked into your eyes.
You have served your time
and lived out your days.
You have now made the move
from your house of clay.
I'll wait patiently here in heaven
For the day that you make your presence.
A transcendental get-together
That'll last till the end of forever.
Famous Poem
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Christina Rossetti was my main inspiration for taking up poetry in 1972. This poem was a standout to me. I have 3 self-published books of poetry that I put together. The third one, Poetry in...
Happiness is my veil,
Emptiness in my heart.
Always carrying you within me,
Like you never left my side.
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.
The very first month
Of each passing year
Brings up your birthday
Even though you're not here.
Your birthday is here again,
but in heaven you will be.
We will celebrate your special day
visiting you and your memorial tree.
If I could have one wish in life,
That wish would have to be
That God would take away my pain
And send you back to me.
I am a mother and a grandmother. The Bible teaches us that no sin is greater than another because of forgiveness. I believe the same with sorrow. None greater or less than another. It's in...
You walk beside me every day.
You're here in all I do and say.
At night I close my eyes and pray
To someone who took you away.
Love it, hits the right notes for me as a recent widow. It beautifully expressed my thoughts.
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 chair where you sat lies vacant and still.
The air so silent, through my body runs a chill,
The sound of your laughter echoes in my ears.
Those who are near and dear to us may shine in our hearts forever like stars.
Let everyone gather
With no heartaches or tears.
Let the bright memories flow
From all the past years.
