Memorial Poems

Now you're gone
We're left to carry on
Though the night seems twice as long
And here within my heart
I don't feel very strong
But we will meet again

Now you're gone
We're left to carry on
In the wind I hear your song
With every passing hour
I'm feeling more alone
But we will meet again
Someday…


Hear My Echoes
When western slopes become first lit
I'll to the tops where the wild wind blows
To watch the sky
To feel the earth
To wander by the wild hedge
And there I'll feed my soul

So future man do not fear
When my ghost to you is near
For just like you upon a time
I walked this way and dreamt my dreams


If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.


You were a precious gift from God above,
so much beauty, grace and love.
You touched our hearts in so many ways,
your smile so bright even on the bad days.
You heard God's whisper calling you home,
you didn't want to go and leave us alone.
You loved us so much, you held on tight,
till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight.
He had called your name twice before,
you knew you couldn't make him wait anymore.
So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,
knowing that with our love we will be together again some day.


We thought of you with love today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart..






God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be,
He closed his arms around you and whispered, Come to Me.
In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back to suffer so again.
So keep your arms around him Lord, and give him special care.
Make up for all he suffered and all that seemed unfair.


Tomorrow is always a day away
Today is here and now
Yesterday will never stay
For God will not allow…

We must take this day He’s given us
And hold it in our hearts
For each day does slowly fade away
And today will soon depart…

He has given us something special
We hold it deep within
The special gift of memories
To retrieve and live again…


If I should ever leave you whom I love
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk
Of me as if I were beside you there.
(I'd come-I'd come, could I but find a way!
But would not tears and grief be barriers)
And when you hear a song or see a bird
I loved, please do not let the thought of me
Be sad .... For I am loving you just as
I always have ... You were so good, to me!
There are so many things I wanted still
To do --- so many things to say to you ...
Remember that I did not fear ... It was
Just leaving you that was so hard to face ...
We cannot see Beyond.. But this I know
I loved you so - 'twas heaven here with you!


In tears we saw you sinking,
And watched you pass away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
We wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us,
To suffer that again.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.


what is the meaning of the word lost
is it what i am now you're gone
the feeling of lonliness and never knowing who your real friends are...
not knowing who your real identity is...
the crying of your empty heart...
now that there's a hole there.

always hoping today will be your last.

but i have to go on...
knowing your never coming back...
knowing i never said a proper goodbye
never knowing if and when this pain will stop...
the anger and sadness that is building up inside,
is beginning to tear me apart...
the tears wont cease...
they keep pouring out....
im drowning.

there is no need for me to be in this young and healthy body anymore,
it paints a perfect picture...
but if u dig deep...
past the fake smiles and phony laughs...
you will see a sad soul trapped in a cage...
longing for release...
you will see that im lost without you dad.
