To my dearest daughter

Ilona

I feel so full of sorrow,
at the thought of losing you.

No light of hope within my heart,
no vision of tommorrow.

In grieving, I feel so much pain.
Within my heart a gapping hole remains.

I dreampt of heaven late last night,
it was as if you had lead me there.

I felt your presence and heard your heart,
I even touched your soft brown hair.

I am only crying dear,
because I miss you so,
for I do not want to see you go.

Awaking from my heavenly dream,
I asked God for a sign.

I will be looking for you in everything,
I will ask for you by name.

I know I was right there with you,
lastnight in that heavenly place with no name.
I thank God for that moment, for I'll never be the same.

For I realize now that all the while
you were right here in my heart.
Never again will you feel sorrow or pain.

You left a legacy of love behind,
that your family and I will carry on.

For as long as I live,
you will be remembered my dear,
and never really gone.

You have your brother Jurgen and son Jayson awaiting you,
to take you by the hand.

So go quietly, go softly and leave all pain and fear behind.
For today you leave a part of you,
in our hearts and souls and minds.

As I lay down each night to sleep,
I'll wait for you to come to me
even though I may weep.

As I let you go to face what I have not yet seen,
know this my dear, that with God all things are possible
and angels like you never cease.

So go now my dearest daughter, as the time is drawing near.

All your worldly tasks are done here.
Your loved ones that have gone before you,
now come to take your hand.

Your memory will dwell and shine,
in my heart and soul for all others to find.

Don't forget that I love you my dearest daughter,
for you'll be forever in my heart.

Wrote this within an hour for a funeral.. any help would be greatly appreciated

    Sentiments so well expressed in these lines - emotions bared and one feels the pain and sadness through your words. Loved ones can certainly relate to this, as can anyone who ever lost someone they loved.

    This is soooo incredibly sad, yet, beautiful!!!! My condolances to you. I recently lost my sister to cancer, even though it's worse to lose a child, I feel your pain.

    Dear ones leave us but they will be always alive in our minds, in our hearts. I am so sorry to see your lost your daughter but she got a good inspiration to write on such true poem.
    “So go quietly, go softly and leave all pain and fear behind.
    For today you leave a part of you,
    in our hearts and souls and minds.”
    You said everything. What else can I say?! Thank you for sharing your feeling with us :-)

    This hit me like no other today. I just wrote one about my own little girl. She is still with me but I fear for her or maybe it's my self. I lost my mother when I was 12 I know the pain of loss and I could not even begin to understand the loss of my child. I am sorry that such a beautiful poem came from such loss.

    I am sorry to hear this

    And am feeling terrible to acknowledge such majesty of words that leads the mind into pillar sorrow and burning woe.

    Hate to say that you were so good at writing it, knowing that was a painful expression of feelings and thoughts to you (and honestly anyone who would have been in your place).

    May you find inner peace to keep you on track, and allow you the remedy and the medicine to forget, yet only remeber the smile, the laugh and the good of times.

    Be very well,
    RD.

    Such emotion in a tribute and so heart wrenching to lose someone who is too young to go from this life, but be assured in the other place noe tears or pain remain just joy and the knowledge you will see her again. Blessed be dear poetess.

    Wow thats power, has emotion, and a great meaning. I think it should be left the way it is. To lose a loved one is hard, I can still remember when my granny died. Now everytime I walk into my room, it smells of Red perfume, I feel her near. Back to this, I feel as if I known this girl, she seems so real as you have described her. Still it is a wonderful write, and I'm sorry for this lose.
