Missing You Poems
I Miss You Poems
Our lives are so busy and sometimes we live so far from our families. We miss the relationships with our families and often we do not even share important life events with them. We need to move back towards our families. If not in actual distance then at least we must move closer in our hearts. We live in a time where there are unprecedented communication possibilities. No one will ever love us unconditionally like our family can. We'd be fools not to take advantage of this opportunity.

1. The Ole Porch Swing
Loving And Losing A GrandmotherSwinging on the porch swing early in the night,
Listening to crickets and watching fireflies light.
I loved to sit beside her and listen to her sing.
We could sit for hours on the ole porch swing.
She would sit and tell me stories for hours on end,
As I loved to listen about her family and friends.
The adventures I sat and listened to her tell
Would have me mesmerized and under her spell.
We became the best of friends, my grandma and me,
As we sat on the porch drinking our iced tea.
Wide-eyed and attentive, she listened very sincere
To my own little girl secrets from yesteryear.
I sat in bed beside her when God called her home that night.
So afraid to let her go, I held her hand so tight.
But I feel her with me still as I listen to her sing,
And once more we are together on the ole porch swing.Latest Shared StoryI was touched by this poem as it made me take a trip down the memory lane. I had lived some beautiful years of my childhood with my great granny. She was extremely gentle and loving. She...

2. Three Empty Chairs
Remembering Lost Loved Ones At ChristmasThere are now three empty chairs at the Christmas table.
It's a time I find difficult, even unable
To find joy on this family day.
We are so lost since you went away.
Our lives have less joy and our days are sad.
I cry when I remember all that we had.
Christmas day was that special day of the year
Where we gathered around with festive cheer.
A time of love, smiles and joy,
A time to watch the children open their gifts, play with their toys.
The turkey cooking and puddings to be made,
All the excitement and noise and a beautiful table we laid.
But once again we feel a loss of someone special we love,
And once again we cry and turn our look to above.
Heaven holds all three of you now,
And our loss and pain is too much, oh wow.
My mum, dad, and brother, now all gone.
It hurts, this loss; it feels so wrong.
There are now only our memories that we can hold dear.
And as we say Merry Christmas, we also shed a tear.
As we look upon the three empty chairs,
I will raise my glass as we toast and share.
We miss you all so very much; now you're in heaven above.
To all of you, my family, with all our hearts, we send our love. -
3. Lonely For Mom
There was one a person who made me feel safe,
held my hand when I began to fall from grace.
This person was my mother; she's the one I miss.
She brought me love and endless happiness.
On November 11th 2001, you died, leaving me all alone,
Oh, how I cried.
Why did you have to go? Please tell me why.
Now I have to drink and do drugs just to get by.
I wish you were here, Mom. I miss you so much.
No one even knows what I would give for just one touch.
Why does everyone else get to have there moms near?
Do they know I'd give anything to have my mother here?
I'm sad and lost. Mom, will you help me find my way?
Will you get rid of the tears I cry each day?
I know the answer, and the answer is no,
'cause for me to move on, I have to let you go.
Mom, I love you and thank you for all you did for me,
and I hope someday I make you proud for whatever comes to be.
For all those that have a mother, please hold her tight,
and never say you hate her, even when you fight.
For you never know when she might have to go,
and the pain that it brings ... I hope you never have to know!!Latest Shared StoryI haven't stopped sobbing since my beautiful, sweet, daughter (barely 50) passed away almost 2 weeks ago. I was calling her (she lived in Sacramento; I live in Idaho.) And she kept saying,...

4. I Miss You
Losing A Loved OneI still miss you
As the weeks and years go by.
I still miss you
Like the clouds would miss the sky.

And the memories we both made.Latest Shared StoryBrother John, though it must hurt so much that you and the love of your life had to part, keep this thought in your heart, the day will come when you and your wife will meet in heaven and...

5. Dear Santa
Letter Asking Santa To Bring Daddy Home For ChristmasDear Santa,
Christmas is just around the bend,
So in this letter I send
Are the presents I want from you to me.
Keep on reading and you will see!
A jack in the box with a pop out fox,
A spinning top that will never stop,
A remote controlled fly but with moving eyes,
But most of all I want this:
My daddy home to love and kiss
So Christmas morning there will be
All of us being a happy family.
So please, can you bring him back from war?
Then we'll know he's safe for sure. -
6. I Miss My Mother
I miss your voice that used to softly sing my special lullaby.
I miss your hands that used to hold me when I was scared.
I miss your eyes that would bring me to ease each time I stared into them.
I miss your nicknames you gave me when I would act bad.
I miss you falling asleep to your heartbeat when I would lay my head upon your chest.
I miss the prayers we taught me when we prayed together.
I miss our talks on the car ride over to school.
I miss the "I love yous" and "Be carefuls" every day.
I miss the "Good Morning" and "Good nights."
I miss our tickle fights.
I miss our arguments knowing you were always right.
I miss you........the way you once were.Latest Shared StoryThis poem reminds me of my dearest mom. My mom left me this day in 2007. It's 10 years now, but my eyes well up whenever I think of her. It takes your entire lifetime to get over the loss of...

7. My Sorrow
It's been two months now.
I've locked all my pain inside.
Only I see what you have done to me.
I am cautious and aware.
I allow no one to see my broken heart.
In the silence of my room
I cry myself to sleep,
Wishing someday we will see each other again.
All my life you have been in the shadows.
Some days there, some days not,
But in order to see the rainbow,
We must endure the storm,
So I will wait until you see
That all this fighting is for nothing.
I am dying deep down
Since the last time I heard your voice.
It was a simple 'hello'
Then the sound of the ring tone.
Why must you do this?
Why must it be this way?
But I still love you
And forever will
Because I am still proud
To say that you're
My dad.Latest Shared StoryMy mom left me 7 years ago and my dad left me 13 years ago. I saw him again 7 years ago but only for a few months. I love them but hate them. I miss them but never wanna see them again. I was...

8. A Loving Dad
I wish I had my dad by my side.
Just thinking of him makes me cry.
Never being able to get to know him
Hurts me inside everyday that goes by.
The stories I hear,
To my eyes they bring a tear.
Before I had to say good-bye,
I wish with him I had more time.
My mom lets me know how much he cared
Since I was too young to have my own memories to share.
Seeing pictures of him I want to know
Why so soon he had to go.
Good things that he did to help someone else
Hearing about that just makes my heart melt.
I just hoped that the time with him could have been longer
Because I know he was a loving husband and father.
I am sad that we are apart.
I miss my dad with all my heart.Latest Shared StoryI was 2 years old when I was taken from my parents. I was 8 years old when I lost my dad. He was 50 when he passed away from cancer. I hardly knew my dad. This poem is sad, but it's like my...

9. My Mother
All Things I Never SaidI fall down on my knees and begin to cry.
For I never wanted you to leave my side.
I wanted you to be by my side forever and ever.
And I wanted to leave your side, never.
For you were my mom and I'll love you forever more.
Every trouble I went through, you're the one who opened the door.
I lie on the ground crying more than ever before.
I had so little memories and I wanted much more.
I was too caught up in my friends.
I never had time to spend.
I want you back; it's not fair.
A mom like you was very rare.
I love you, I love you, please come back.
My whole life just fell off track.
Now that you're gone, I have nowhere to go.
I need you here; there's so much more I need to know.
I miss you, I wish it never turned out this way.
Now that you're gone, there's so much to say.
I'm sorry for the fun times I could have spent with you.
This isn't happening; it can't be true!
I love you, I love you, PLEASE come back home.
Now that you're gone, I'm all alone.Latest Shared StoryBeautiful poem.
I lost my mom 13 years ago, a month before my wedding day.

10. Lost Daughters
Poem From Father Missing Daughters After DivorceI am a dad who is too sad to say
My two little girls have been taken away.
Their mother wanted to take them far from me.
Now in another country across the sea.
No one would listen, no one would care.
Now I suffer beyond despair.
Time goes on; how fast they gro
Those two little girls, I used to know.

11. The Oath
Poem By Mother Who Has to Leave Her Baby For 4 MonthsEvery time I think of this,
My heart seems to shatter, how unnatural it is,
What an awful hour,
The thought of me leaving,
Makes me shiver and quake,
I wish I was dreaming,
Am I even awake.
Will she cry for me,
Will she wonder where I am,
Will she get angry,
Will she forget who I am,
I am her mummy,
And she's not even a year old.
Who will take care of her,
And keep her safe from cold.
Separation anxiety is flowing like a burst pipe,
Heart is thumbing, mouth is dry, questioning why,
I signed the dotted line,
And said I would defend,
When all I wish is to be with my daughter,
Be her nurse, teacher and friend.
Will I miss her first steps,
Her birthday and more,
Will she even recognize me,
When I walk through the door.
Her smile that's so wide,
No teeth yet come through,
Will warm my heart,
When I'm feeling sad and low.
As I pack up my kit,
And set off on my way,
A thousand kisses aren't enough
Nor a hug, squeeze or play.
I break down and sob,
Tears fall from my face,
I pray to God this tour goes fast pace. -
12. Mom My Angel
Mom you're like an Angel
Sent from up above,
With all your kindness, tenderness
And everlasting love.
You have always looked after me
And taught me right from wrong,
And when I'm down or worried
It's always you that comes along.
You're not just Mom but a friend of mine
A friend I can't replace,
And every time I think of you
All I see is your smiling face.
I thank you
allowing me to see these times,
Because if it wasn't for you dear Mother
I could never write down these lines.Latest Shared StoryMy mom passed away February 21, 2015. She had been fighting for her life for the past 6 years. Sometimes I feel like it is just a bad dream, but it is real. I miss my mom very much. I never...

13. My Best Friend!!
On the day I turned sixteen a day I'll never forget
My heart was filled with pain my life was filled with regret
A day that was suppose to be spent opening up gifts and blowing out candles
Turned into a day which no one could handle
God decided that your presence was much more needed in Heavens beautiful gates
When the doctor pulled the cord my legs began to shake
The machine counting down 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
you raised your body and took your last breath
In my heart, in my soul is where your memories will be kept
That day God took away my mother but also my best friend
And that day I felt like I wanted my life to end
When things went bad it was her love that I would seek
I was her baby, I was her little peach
I could never be afraid as long as she was around;
she taught me that fear was not an option
I'm glad that God sent you my way when it was time for adoption
From the first day you got me when I was 3 months old
You opened your heart and a new family began to unfold
Things could never go wrong as long as you were in my life
Now all I feel is pain, anger, and strife
I could talk to you about everything and my secrets you never told
You taught me to stand and always be bold
The best mother in the world you'll always be
A great best friend is what you'll always be to me
This is dedicated to my Mommy, Ms. Josephine Sparks Benford aka Nanna bka Josie
We Love U and We Miss O So Very Much
Heaven Just Got Happier!!!!Latest Shared StoryThis is really sad poem. I cried from it. May god be with you in your future.

14. When You Died
When you died my whole
World came crashing down
On me
I see you in my dreams,
Everywhere I look are the
Memories of you
It's been ten long years, but
It still feels like yesterday
That I lost you forever
I blamed myself, but I learned
That God needed you more than
We did, but why then?
I've been wishing I was dead for
A long time now, so I can join you
Up in heaven, is it really that?
Beautiful?
The day you died my life ended,
and I was only six.

15. Yesterday
Poem By A Mother Who Lost Parental Rights To Her DaughterI just can't believe you're gone,
Still waiting for morning to come
Wanna see if the sun will rise
Even without you by my side.
We had so much in store,
I'll hold yesterday in my heart.
They took all our tomorrows
And the plans we made.
They took all the music
That we'll never play.
All the broken dreams, take everything.
But they can never have yesterday.
They took the future away
That we'll never know.
They took the places away
That I said we would go.
All the broken dreams, take everything.
But they can never have yesterday.
People always said I should be thankful for everyday,
Heaven knows what the future holds
Or at least how the story goes...
But I never believed I'd be living my days without you.
I know I'll see you again I'm sure.
Is it selfish of me to ask for more?
Since I am the reason you're gone?
One more day, one more night,
One more smile on your face,
But they can't take yesterday.
I thought our days would last forever,
'Cause in my mind we had so much time,
But I was so wrong.
Now I try to believe that I can still find
The strength in the moments we made
To make it one more day,
I'm looking back on yesterday.
All the broken dreams take everything,
But they can never have yesterday.Latest Shared StoryI am an orphan now. My mom's parental rights were taken on October 2, 2017. When they were taken, I thought my life would end, that I had nothing to live for. It was very upsetting, and when...

16. Lonely Amidst Crowd
Standing lonely, though in a crowd
Witnessing people whilst they move around
I felt a spear penetrate my heart
Agonizing pain, as my body fell apart!
Feeling homesick as no one to care
Missing family, their love and care
A desire to earn parted me from "SOME"
Leaving me lonely & crying for them
Little did I grasp, what I left behind
Need for a better life had made me blind
As usual, realization dawns always late
Away from home, now I am behind this huge gate
Amidst emotions and pain to die
Tears rolled unrelenting via my eye
Alas! Cry mine, will be heard by none
Amidst this crowd, I am lonely & no one! -
17. My Boys
Poem From A Father Missing His SonsPlease let them come back to me
Missing, Needing, Wanting, Loving
My heart desires the love I created
Two sweet souls that comfort and heal
I need them so I can feel again
Loving unconditionally without force
Providing more dreams than one can hope
Giving all of yourself is not enough
At times need convincing to hold on
A picture or a memory will do for now
Seeing them again must come soon
Wondering if they are happy and laughing
Did I deserve this fate?
All I desire is to hold them again
Please let them come back to me
Missing, Needing, Wanting, Loving
I will not move on
I can't move on
All my dreams are now for them
Holding them at night
Tending to the inevitable wounds
Being the father they need
All are easy and welcome tasks
I just need to hold them again
Please let them come back to me
Missing, Needing, Wanting, Loving
My sons, My boys, MY LIFE! -
18. Message To Absent Dad
Poem Inviting Dad Back Into Daughter's LifeDad, why did you leave me when I needed you so much.
I tried to reach out to you for that loving touch.
I have realized now that I'm no daddy's princess.
When I was younger, I actually felt much less.
I understand now that it wasn't meant to be,
Now my life is better, I have an extended family.
I always wanted a sister, and you have given me two,
So I will give you credit where credit is due.
I realize now I wasn't the reason for you leaving.
The time has passed now, and it's done the healing.
You may look back and regret the time that's passed.
You need to build a relationship, one that's going to last.
I don't want you growing old not knowing me.
Dad, you are part of my life, you're my family. -
19. Don't Ever Say Goodbye
Poem About Not Wanting To Say GoodbyeDon't ever say goodbye, even if you leave
I'll always be your little girl, pulling at your sleeve
Don't ever say goodbye if you're not coming back
It would only mean another load on my heavy rack
Don't ever say goodbye, but please realize
I'll always be your little girl, but now with tear filled eyes
Don't ever say goodbye, I can already sense when you're gone
But I'll always be your little girl waiting for a goodnight song
Don't ever say goodbye, or I'll wait day and night
Hoping that my Daddy won't die in the next fight
Don't ever say goodbye; I need your shoulder so strong
I want you to hold me forever, but now you're already gone
Don't ever say goodbye, even if you're letting go
I can't tell you not to die, but I wish it weren't so
Daddy, you've been gone too long, but you have to know
You may be dead, but don't say goodbye, 'cause another day we'll say hello -
20. What You Mean To Me
What you mean to me:
You are the sun in the sky,
You are the light shining by,
You are the breeze in my hair,
You're the life I want to share.
You are what makes my days go by,
You are the ones I'll tell no lies
You are the ones who make me smile,
I'll stay by you a long while.
Your smiles light up my day,
They make the darkness go away,
You're the reason I am alive,
One day you'll be someone's wives
You are very special girls,
You are apart of this special world,
I know I can't hold you right now,
Thinking of you makes me smile.
You will be in my arms soon,
When you miss me look at the moon,
Because when I miss you I'll do the same,
And you won't feel any pain.
Because we know we will be together again,
To laugh, run a smile again,
I want you not to fear,
I'll whip away ever tear.
Just remember deep in your hearts,
I'm not the reason we had to part,
And that I love you more than life,
You are the angels of my life.
One more thing before mommy goes,
Always remember sweet girls,
I love you and need you so...
