some great poems and quotes

 "Your life was a blessing,
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
 and missed beyond measure..."

 

 

 

" The mention of my child's name        

may bring tears to my eyes,

but it never fails

to bring music to my ears.

 

If you are really my friend,

let me hear the beautiful music

of his name.

It soothes my broken heart

and sings to my soul. "

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know

But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay

Somewhere over the rainbow 

Just beyound the moon

There is a place so wonderful

For Angels gone too soon...

 

 

Hello old friend

Oh yes you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please Don’t look away
And change the subject It’s ok.
You see at first I couldn’t feel,
It took so long, but now it’s real.
I hurt so much inside you see

I need to talk, Come sit with me ?

You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, “My, she is so strong.”
They did not know I couldn’t feel,
My broken heart made all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail,
Broke from me..My child! My child!

The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on,

you see,everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my child,
I see their blank stare.

“But I thought you were over it,”
Their eyes seem to say--
No, no, I can’t listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say,

“Oh, I’m ok”.But inside I am crying,

as I turn away.

And so my old friend,

I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start,
You never knowing all the while,
All I’ve just said to you in my heart.
