My name is Amelia Rose I'm a wandering soul.
I tragically died one dark stormy night.
Now I am trapped between two different worlds
this endless wandering I can't control.
Why was I left behind, Whatever happened?
Am I dead and not of this world anymore?
Won't anybody help me to move on?
Where are my darling Children and my Husband?
It seems I've been here for eternity
condemned to walk these stairs that I fell down.
How lonely It is here in this cold house
wandering with a heart filled with self-pity.
I see people come, whatever are they doing?
They are lighting candles, forming in a circle!
Can you hear not me? can you not please help me!
It seems as though they're singing now and chanting!
"We see you Amelia Rose, we've come for you.
we're going to send you home, are you now ready?"
Oh yes please, I so want to leave this place.
I'm ready now to bid it bon adieu.
The light? they say to go towards the light!
Where is it? There it is! Yes! I can see it!
Harry my husband, Children! I can see them!
They are calling me, I know the time is right!
I walk toward them Looking back I smile;
they are smiling, waving, beckoning to me.
I thank them as I walk towards the light
for I am free at last from this terrible exile.
"I am going home."
Author notes
Amelia Rose Died young, but did not know she was dead, so she wandered the house she and her Husband and Children lived in. Many Centuries past, until some Mediums came to the house and told her to go towards the light, where she saw her Husband and Children waiting for her. She was so happy to be released from the wandering dark life she had lived in.She was now at peace.

It's nice to read a ghost story with a happy ending - guided back to her loving family.

Amelia Rose
Imagine how horrible such a fat would be. To be kept from your loved ones after death.
It's a fate no one should suffer. The story reminded me a little of the movie, "The Others" with that famous Aussie chick, what's her name, again? The ghosts in that movie were also trapped in a house wandering between here and heaven.

That was Nicole Kidman the Aussie Actress you're thinking of, that was a good movie, it kept you guessing until the end fefore realizing they were all dead.

Dear A/J,
How sad for Amelia Rose that she was left in limdo for all those centuries, trying to find her family. I'm so glad that she was rescued and sent into the light.
Great poem A/J.

This is such a heartwrenching story, so sad, but thank goodness for happy endings
this story reminds me of a TV show I saw recently. It's a regular show about ghost finders, and this particular story was of a little girl who was a ghost in the house where she used to live before she died.
Anyway, yours is very good and I wish you the best in the contest

Dear Dee, I think that show is on here in Australia too, there's a few of them they're showing at the moment. I enjoy watching them.
Thankyou for your lovely comment.

Dear Bea,
This is a heartrending story. That the spirit of a young wife and mother should be trapped for all those years between the worlds of the living and the dead, unable to pass over, is so sad to contemplate.
But it is with a sense of joy and relief that you introduce the exorcising media who providfe the path for her release.
"I am going home" is such a beautiful close to your story. Are these tears in my eyes?
Best of luck in the contest. Applause,
Love and hugs, XXX Hugh R.

Poor Amelia Rose, wondering about, all alone, for such a long time. Thank goodness she was shone the light (leading her to her husband and children) by the mediums that visited the house. I'm glad your sad story has a happy ending!
Love ya, my sweet soul sister!

This is very beautiful and such a heartwarming ending. The girl ghost in my poem also ended at peace and it's a true story.

Unusual but interesting.

brilliant
You have done a excellent job on this subject it really drew me your writing always inspires me Joan

This is another wonderful angel poem. I am glad that the angel made it home to be with her husband and children. It would be scary to be left behind and not be able to see the light. It was nice that she has someone to come and help guide her along the way.

yes they do Bertie, when my Mum was dying,she was looking down the end of the bed smiling with a radiant look on her face and saying yes.she looked over at me and said "pop said you look beautiful tonight"(my dad) then she said "they're all here,even St Peter" she died 4 days later..so I know they come to take us home.my Mum had the most radiant look on her face and she had been afraid of dying.my Sister in law and I actually watched her heart stop beating..it was so surreal..she was 92 and so tired of living it was a blessing.Thank you for your comment my friend I really appreciate it~Joan
-
Great poem Joan, It was written very well, I do believe that once we die we are joined with our family. I know my mother seen my father at the moment of her death cause she called out his name and died with a smile on her face. Keep up the good write and I will keep on reading.
Hugs

Powerful and Vivid!
Joan,
A vivid picture put here. Wow, I couldn't stop looking at it, freaky in a way. The poem was excellent (as usual), I couldn't stop reading it, it flowed so well! I could almost picture your words in my mind. The ending was great... at first when you said the light, I thought the flash from a camera. A happy ending indeed! I loved it! Well done.
GOOD LUCK IN THE CONTEST!!!
Writing is good for the heart and soul.
Sincerely,
Nelak
BRAVO, JOAN!!!!!!!!!!!

like maureen, i appreciated the happy ending
your final words, "i am going home" brought this piece to a wonderful conclusion.

I love the name Amelia Rose for a ghost. Your picture is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT along with your contrasting background to perfectly accentuate your poem. Well done.

Questions answered, simplistic view which works wonderfully. A hidden message I think, with guidance we can find anything......My opinion anyway.......Great write........Take care...... Good luck in the contest.....

Oh! Sweet angel! Your heart is lovely and your word so sweet! thank you for, you liked my comment!With love,ceegeeess.

Very nice Joan. I could feel lots of intensity in this write. Wandring souls really don't want to stay here. It is good when they are helped and ushered home. Sometimes the spirit will get confused. You displayed that very well with this poem.
Much Love,
Renee
