In Loving Memory Collection - Reminiscing

What is death, but a silent sleep.
Why does it cause pain?
Why do we weep?
Tired red eyes.
From tears, grief and sorrow.
Get through today, dread tomorrow.

They say it gets better, as time passes by.
Is something wrong?
I miss you more!
Time has passed by.
Time has not healed my loss.
The pain it lingers,deep inside
It surpasses the pain I felt.

"When I Gave Birth To You."
~ ~ ~
By Lady Mak.

In Loving Memory Of My Daughter.
Died Age 26, "Forever Young."

    I think this conveys so much. A sad but beautiful poem. I have a daughter who is 26 in a few weeks time and I just cannot imagine how devastating her loss would be. To loose a child must be so unbelievably hard to bear. Take care.

    Bless You My Dear Lady

    I can not imagine loosing my daughter at any age. I am sorrowful for your loss, and I pray our LORD will comfort your weary soul with the faith that, even though it may seem that every day is an eternity, you will only be parted from her for a short time.
    Blessings, and gentle caresses,
    Ron

      Thank you dearest Ron for your prayers and encouragement it is so kind of you.
      I do have every confidence in what the Bible says at;

      Revelation 21: 4,5.
      4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain: for the former things are passed away.
      5 And he that sat upon the throne said unto me , Write: for these words are faithful and true.

      Yes Ron, I too believe with all my heart that it is only a matter of time and Gods intendened purpose for mankind and the earth will become a reality.

      One of my favourite sayings is, "The best is yet to come."

    I am so very sorry for your loss. Eight years ago, my husband, grandma and Mother all passed away at the same time in a 2 week period. I could never ever imagine losing a child. My heart seriously cries for you. I wrote a poem for my husband called "Forever and a Day" mentioning they say it gets better as time goes by.......don't you just HATE that sentence. I'm glad I came to visit your little home here. I am adding you to my favorites.

    You know, only those who have lost a loved one truly knows just how deep grief really goes. Others can only imagine.
    I wish you a very gentle healing.

      I don't reckon it does...we simply miss our loved ones more. My loveing thoughts are with you thinking of you dear one.

    Oh my gracious.

    I am so sorry for your loss! Someone told me once, "time will heal the wounds" But I do not believe that. I believe God will heal my wounds, and yours, if not now, then when we see Him.
    God Bless you.
    Very powerful and beautiful write.
    Makes me want to cry.

      care helps...

      Like you ... I too do not believe that time heals the wounds death causes.

      Like you I believe that God Himself will wipe every tear from our eyes...
      and death will be no more...the former things have passed away...

      Thank you sincerly for your kind comment.

    ah death - it is never easy. we live and have our children and hope that they out live us but sometimes sadly they do not and it pains us, so much so we cry and create like you have here with poetry, so something good has arrived from that pain - the communication you share with us all here, how you feel, that is to be smiled at. i am sorry for your loss

    We still have the resurrection hope. I know in the new system I will see all my dead loved ones again. I know what it is like to still miss them. I lost one grandmother to ovarian cancer in 1994. I lost my Great Aunt to breast cancer in 2002. I lost my other grandmother to pulmonary fibrosis in 2003. Then I lost my favorite uncle to a massive heart attack in 2004. I still miss all of them to this day. But the resurrection hope is what keeps me strong. I enjoyed the read!

    it's true - even though we have the resurrection hope and know our loved ones are just asleep, it still hurts beyond words! there's always that hole inside of us that will only be filled when we see our loved one again in the new world. thank jehovah, we have him to help us endure!

      Hiya Dearest Kelle Marie,

      Thank you for your heartfelt comment I know we share the bond of both losing our First born children in death. God knows that pain too, Gods Firstborn Son Jesus died too.

      We both beleive that Jesus was ressurrected, and one day both you a I will both have our First borns back too and the hole in both of our hearts will be mended.

      I wrote a dedication poem for you and Mathew, have you read it. It's called: I Ask God The Reason Why - In Loving Memory Collection. As I think of you and your First born son Matthew too. That's something we both can relate to each others heart wrenching pain and loss. Speak to you soon dear Kelle Marie.

      Hugggggs and kind thoughts,
      your friend,
      Lady Mak.

    Mother Hear Me!

    I walk the earth to touch you,
    I see the tears you cry,
    My wings they stroke your face so soft,
    But you cannot see me!
    Why?

    The lake you look each morning,
    And speak to me in prayer,
    You look for my reflection,
    In the lake,
    But I’m not there.

    I await you dearest mother,
    In this place I wear a crown,
    Where all the children sing and play,
    All those of us who drowned.

    I will pray for you each day that dawns,
    And scatter petals there,
    As I watch you live here so alone,
    So wretched, in despair.

    Your love for me to never die,
    And ever mine is true,
    I await upon the stairway,
    Mother hear me!
    I love you.

    So sorry to hear of your loss.

    Keith.

    To lose a child is the wrong way round in life and I have never gone through this kind of pain. I can try to understand but only other mothers who have endured this hurt can understand. How you can hang on to your faith as well is beyond my understanding too but I do so envy those who do have a faith so strong that you can lean on it for help, no matter what you have to suffer. I don't think I would be able to do that. I don't feel I have the right to comment on this as a poem as it is beyond me, it screams of a pain of which I am too ignorant. I leave that to other women who do know and who do understand. To say I am sorry is just not enough.

      Thank you for your kind thoughts and understanding

      So warm and encouraging thank you, dearest tightrope not so much a work of art as a broken heart. I know you know what I mean, how our pens flow through grief, (sigh) alas what can one do but pray and write.

      I am thankful for both and also the friends that share our grief through our writes they help to console our grieving hearts and someday God will repair our broken hearts beyond all expectation.

      Glory be to God the Father of all tender mercies who is near to us all in our hour of need.

      Thank you and kind thoughts, and your consoling words do help.

      Kind thoughts and wishes,

    I'm so very sorry for your loss

    Oh Lady Mak I so do love you! I respect you with all my heart! I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter Forever young at age 26. Just not fair and forever a loss. You have helped me so very much because of your loss before my loss of my son Matthew!
    How do I say thank you? How do I say, I thank God you know him, and that you help me with my relationship with God as I grieve horribly. Just 2 and half months today or I should say 10 weeks as of 9:00am when I found him home alone. He loved the Lord and struggled with the disease of addiction. My son was 3 months sober and walking strongly with the Lord and in just one day he used and he died that night at age 24. I am so devistated and I miss him so bad. I too sometimes just feel like I'm going to die from the pain I feel, emotionally!! Excellent write for you daughter and for me to read. The title In Loving Memory Collection-Reminiscing! The first line What is death but a silent sleep and then the last line When I gave birth to you!! There is nothing more powerful other than God in loving the children we give birth too! Blessings to you today and always my dear friend. Kelle Marie, stavykm

      Thank you for such kind and loving words

      Thank you for such kind and loving words, I do love and care about you also. We have not ever met each other and yet we seem to have developed an immediate bonding.

      I wrote a book of poetry when my daughter died called In Loving Memory, it was a way of trying to get rid of my grief by constant prayer and thrashing it out of my heart onto paper. I used to wonder why I hurt so much, as I thought something must have been wrong with my faith, as I do really beleive that I will have her back some day at Gods appointed time in perfect health and I will be able to hug her and kiss her again.

      So I questioned why if I really had faith, why was I hurting so much, I asked a fellow Christian why I hurt so much when I knew I was going to have her back again some day. He related to me the scriptures about Jesus and Lazarus, how Jesus wept when Lazarus died and yet he knew he was going to ressurect him back to life again.

      Showing what he will do in the future, on a worldwide scale. The person I spoke to said death was like an amputation, thats why it hurts so much, a part of us is missing, we know we are going to get that part back but we want it now.

      I have just written a poem dedicated to you and Matthew, I felt inspired to write it for you and Mathew. It is in my "In Loving Memory Collection." hope it touches your heart.

      Kind thoughts,
      thinking of you,
      Caroline (Lady Mak)

      thank you for your kind encouragement

      Hallo dear Pure heart, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement, it's true what you say our beautiful memories locked fast in our hearts do help us immensley.

      But I draw true encouragemnt from Gods word the Bible and the scrptures at Revelation 21: verses 4,5. It reads And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.

      And the One seated on the throne said: "Look! I am making all things new" Also he says "Write because these words are faithful and true."

      So we do have the hope from God that we will have our loved ones back in perfect health because God cannot lie and his word assures us "Look I am making all things new."

      God does have the power to accomplish his purpose and his purpose is to do away with death and all causes of suffering. I beleive this dear Pure heart how do you feel about this, do you think it is possible? Would you like it to be true?

        HELLO LADYMAK

        I would very much like this to be true one day I try to be optimistic but I believe that the world will never let this come to be, there are just to many people in the world and for the most part they can never come together on anything. There is always hope though
