Thank You Poem To Parents

in Thank You Poems

I will never take for granted
how greatly I've been blessed;
For when it comes to parents,
Mom and Dad, you are the best!

I will never take for granted
how greatly I've been blessed;
For when it comes to parents,
Mom and Dad, you are the best!

You nurtured and protected me
and taught me with great care.
And every time I've needed you,
you were always there.

If you could look into my heart,
how quickly you would see
the special place you hold there
and how much you mean to me.

May you receive the blessings
you are so deserving of
for your caring and your sharing,
and each sacrifice of love.

And may you carry in your hearts
these words forever true...
No parents anywhere on earth
could be more loved than you.

Even as a teenager I truly appreciated my parents, and now that they have both passed, I am thankful I told them over and over how much I loved them. I watched them love and be "stand-in"...

Father's Day In Heaven
- Published: June 2014
Poem About Love For A Deceased Father

in Father's Day Poems

I love you and I miss you, Dad,
and though you've passed away,
you'll never be forgotten,
for I think of you each day.

I love you and I miss you, Dad,
and though you've passed away,
you'll never be forgotten,
for I think of you each day.

If heaven celebrates this day
how special it will be.
A gathering of the many dads
upon our family tree.

Your father and grandfather
and great grandfather too.
How wonderful it is, if they
can spend this day with you.

May you know how much I love you,
though I'm here and you are there.
Happy Father's Day in heaven
to the best dad anywhere!

Heaven's Rocking Chair

- Published: June 2014
in Baby Death Poems

Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?

Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?

Do they talk silly baby talk
to get a smile or two,
and sing the sleepy lullabies
I used to sing to you?

My heart is aching for you,
my angel child so dear.
You brought such joy into my life
the short time you were here.

I know you're in a happy place
and in God's loving care.
I dream each night I'm rocking you
in Heaven's rocking chair.

Heaven's Light
- Published: June 2014
Poem About Hope And Faith In Eternal Life

in Sympathy Poems

The sun shines down upon us
and gives us warmth and light.
Then when the day has ended,
it disappears from sight.

The sun shines down upon us
and gives us warmth and light.
Then when the day has ended,
it disappears from sight.

Though we're left in darkness,
we know the sun has not died,
for it is shining brightly
on the world's other side.

So it is when one we love
comes to their end of days.
They just go to the other side
to shine their loving rays.

That's why heaven is a place
that glows beyond compare.
The lights of those who've left us
are all brightly shining there.

Troubled Heart
- Published: December 2011
in STOP Suicide Poems

The moment you took your life,
I felt mine ended too.
If I could only turn back time,
there's so much I would undo.

The moment you took your life,
I felt mine ended too.
If I could only turn back time,
there's so much I would undo.

I didn't see the warning signs.
You held them deep inside.
Struggles you were going through
you did so well to hide.

I'm left with guilt and sorrow
and confusion as to why.
You didn't tell me of your pain
and felt you had to die.

Every soul is precious
in the eyes of God above.
He will heal your troubled heart
with His never-ending love.

I'll put my faith in Him,
as I pray my heart will mend
and keep you in my memory
'till I'm with you once again.

Sympathy Poem For Miscarriage

in Miscarriage Poems

What we call miscarriage,
Is hard to understand,
but God calls special babies
back with Him in Heaven's land.

What we call miscarriage,
Is hard to understand,
but God calls special babies
back with Him in Heaven's land.

He doesn't need to test them.
These angels are too pure.
The trials of this earth
are not theirs to endure.

But as all of God's children,
they need a family too,
An angel dwelt inside your womb
because this child chose you.

A loving son or daughter
will be in your arms one day.
One whose love surrounds you
Heaven's not that far away.

Trust in God, our Father
and always remember this,
everything has purpose.
and with Him there is no "mis."

An Angel From Heaven
- Published: May 2011
in Birth Poems

An angel from Heaven
who'd been waiting for birth,
is excited to be joining
your family on Earth.

An angel from Heaven
who'd been waiting for birth,
is excited to be joining
your family on Earth.

An angel far envied
up there in the blue,
when learned its parents
down here would be you.

Baby angels need care
leaving Father above.
They hope for a family
where there's lots of love.

Where God's light shines brightly
within welcome doors.
A home filled with happiness.
A home just like yours!

Thou Art God

Poem About The Loss Of A Child

in Spiritual Poems about Death

Though it's hard to comprehend
why our child had to die,
we'll not dwell upon the question
nor will we ask God why.

Though it's hard to comprehend
why our child had to die,
we'll not dwell upon the question
nor will we ask God why.

Although our hearts are breaking
from the sorrow we now feel,
dear Father up in heaven
we trust thy wisdom and will.

Thou art God, the greatest of all,
from whom all blessings flow.
Much in life we don't understand
but we know all we need to know.

We know our child is in Thy care,
and though we don't know when,
in Thy time, Dear Lord we know
we will see our child again.

Heavenly Father took Grandma
up to Heaven when she died.
When my Momma told me
I ran to my room and cried.

I asked Heavenly Father
why my grandma had to die.
I cried myself to sleep, and dreamt
that Grandpa told me why.

"Grandchild, I know how you miss
your Grandma's tender touch.
I know how much you love her,
and she loves you very much.

But I missed her too, sweet child
so Heavenly Father brought her here.
If you could see our happiness
you wouldn't shed one tear."

When I awoke from dreaming
the wonderful dream I had
About Grandma being with Grandpa,
I didn't feel so bad.
