    Poems by Joel McKeown

  • My Mother's Mother

    • Published: January 2009

    in Grandmother Death Poems

    The doctor said she would die today, so all of the family left.
    My grandfather cried and said I cannot leave your side.
    Although I do not want to see you go, I have to stay to say goodbye.

    in Loss Poems

    Could you imagine a pain so deep down inside
    That it can not be summarized in words you simply can write.
    A pain that touches your toes and up to the top of the ceiling
    You can't eat, you can't sleep, that is the pain that I am feeling.

    I loss my best friend/spiritual brother of 24 years in September 2017 to cancer. I miss him so much. I think of him just about every day. I have asked God "why" so many times. It was the...

I am glad you can find value in something I wrote while I was in such a horrible place. I hope things have gotten easier for you.
