If I could Bring Them Back
If I could bring them back,
for one more day,
I would wish to tell them,
all the things I ever wanted to say.

Tell them how much they meant to me,
an how much I really did love them,
and tell them thanks for all the things,
they had done for me on a whim.

If I could bring them back,
on this earth here today,
I would give them another kiss and hug,
so that I know they felt it for I wasn't sure on that day.

And tell them that I am o.k.,
that they went to a better place,
that I will get to see them in heaven again,
and be relieved when I get to see their charming face.

You'll Always Be Here

It does not matter
that I have stored mementos
as reminders of you.
Like roses from the funeral
tucked neatly in the bible,
and all of the special gifts
you left behind.
It does not matter
for you still whisper
in my ear I am here.
The signs that you send are phenomenal,
some days there may be many
and some days few,
for you are around
and this I know to be true.
There's not a day going by
that you are not with me,
because in my mind
you will always be there.

Just a thought for a story maybe lol
The Cat
Grandmother Poem Series

A few days after Grandmother passed,
a cat arrived upon my Grandfather's lap.

Where it came from no one knows,
It just appeared like a late fall rose.

My Grandfather wasn't fond of this white and black cat.
But how convenient it appeared like that.

This strange stray cat took his pain away,
but only for a minute or two each day.

For he chased and shooed the cat a way,
but it disobeyed his demands and back he came each day.

I said, "Hey Grandfather look over there,
its Grandmother sitting upon her chair".

It won't go away he said, "I've chased and shooed,
it just wants me to give him some food."

I said, "But why out of nowhere does this cat appear,
while you are grieving and in despair."

"She's keeping an eye on you don't you know,
keeping you company so you wont be alone."

Bronze - Be Happy
Time has come for their days to end, therefore peacefully ascending into heaven's realm. Weep not for they've not lost, and have found serenity within God's light. Be happy for them as they journey on, away for earths doomed plight. Look forward to the peaceful times, that you'll spend in Heaven with your friend. One day soon all of you, will cuddle within God's arms together.

Memories Of You

Memories of you
float though my mind
some were good
and some were bad.

The bad times though were good for me
cause I know you were trying
to just teach a lesson
I needed to learn.

I hated the times
you grounded me
It seemed to me that
the punishment was very unfair.

But now I know through my own children
that these things are really needed
and are done out of love
I now respect you for that.

The Good times were oh so fun
I enjoyed riding you like a horse
and soaring through the air in your arms
as you pretended I was your toy airplane.

I remember the times
You pushed me in that old tire swing
I remember giggling at each rise and fall
and the smile that shined brightly on your face.

These days are gone
and I have grown
but each day
I remember as I raise my own.

Thanks Dad
The saying I love you,
from your lips were hardly heard,
but your action's spoke louder than words.

You was always there to pick us up,
rescuing us from ourselves,
just in the nick of time.

Thank you Daddy for all you have done.
raising us kids I know it wasn't easy,
For you we’re the soul provider of our family.

Money was tight,
but you managed to provide
a warm bed, food and a roof over our head,

Bless you Daddy
for always being there,
We know through your action’s
Your love is bold.

Thanks Dad I love you Daddy.

Thank You Dad

Dad I have grown up
cherishing the values
you've instilled in me.

It always seemed like
I never heard a word but,
I was always listening.

Without these lessons learned
I wouldn't be the person that
I have become today.

I am grateful,
that you helped build this
strong foundation for me.

I love you
and hope that you
have a wonderful day.

love, cares for, and nurtures
a bud into full bloom. With bright rays
and sharing food of knowledge, these little
buds grow strong and their colors shine
true. Life is grand in a teachers
garden.

Pet
they are, each and everyone,
guided and cared for all day long.
They're taught new tricks to survive
Some are fun to learn as others
are complicated. Each and
every day they are
praised.
