Grief Poems
Eternal Day
Written by Vonnie   
Saturday, 17 October 2009 00:00

If tomorrow you should wake to find,
that the lord has called me home.
If tonight I heard him calling me,
and you were left to carry on.

Take faith in all the love we shared,
for our hearts had beat as one.
Listen to the song inside,
of the broken heart, that must live on.

For you are still apart of me,
and I apart of you.
And it's the love we shared in life.
that lights the way to see you through.

For life is just a passing thought,
a moment in God's plan.
But we all must take the journey home,
when guided by God's hand.

And when we meet on the other side,
all storm clouds rolled away.
Our souls shall walk in the perfect light,
of God's eternal day.

Miss You
Written by Danyelle Ranta

The petals upon my rose are withering away
The color of my heart is beginning to fade
The reason you had to leave I do not know
I know you come 'round at night for I see you glow
You left in such a hurry
I didn't have a chance to say good-bye
I can't think of your face cuz all it makes me do is cry
I know you're gone and can't return but remember this
You've taught me a lesson and I have learned

Sweet Child Of Mine
Written by Kathleen Cowan   
Sunday, 04 October 2009 05:32

Where are you now, sweet child of mine
Where are you now
Are you the whispering in the wind, the gentle breeze
Are you all the things I do not understand
Are you the heavens and the earth
Where are you now
Are you my protector in the dark
Are you there to see the tears that fall from my face
And wipe them gently away and give me the will to go on
Does your courage and bravery in life
And the fact that I was always
So proud of you, and still am
Give me the strength and inspire me to tell
The world how wonderful you are
But where are you now?
I was always there for you
Did I let you down
When you had to take those last steps on your own
Did I let you down as I held your hand
You have gone to a place and I could not go with you
But some day, my darling, I will come to you again
As you are with me eternally
You are every breath I take, every action I do
You are in my dreams, you are my dream
Where are you now, sweet child of mine
I am the sound of your breathing
I am the sound of your heart beating
I am your life and you are mine
Together for eternity
Your loving son always

Waiting To See You Daddy
Written by Daisy Estrada   
Friday, 02 October 2009 05:06

The colors faded
Daddy, the day you left
I know you had cancer
but I didn't think you would leave
Just a horrible nightmare
I still can't believe
My heart fell to pieces the day we found out
When the doctor came in and filled our lives with doubt
It was the first time I saw my fearless daddy's eyes fill with fright
Who knew that the days that would come would no longer be bright
Why didn't you get better?
One of the many questions that torment my mind
If only I could I would rewind
To warn you to eat and live more healthy
So that now maybe you could still be
To tell you to go to the doctor regularly
So today I would not be so sad and angry
To spend more time with you
Although I had a boyfriend and remind you, Dad, that I still love you too
To tell you I'm so proud and lucky you're my father
So that I can see you blush and your warm smile
To tell you I'm sorry for all the times I misbehaved
So I wouldn't feel so guilty and feel my heart cave
To hug you and kiss you and thank you for everything
So you knew how much I appreciated you when you were there
To be a better daughter
Like you were such a wonderful father
But reality hits and I can't rewind
So instead I wait for the day I die to be reunited with you again
and see your face so kind

Lonely Tears
Written by Sherry Harvey   
Sunday, 27 September 2009 18:02

These lonely tears fall from my eyes,
Everyday since you have been gone.
Why oh Why, did you have to die?
It just seems so very wrong.

I know the Lord sent you to me.
You have changed my life for the good.
I just miss you so much you see.
Like you knew I would.

I miss your loving touch,
The talks we had,
I miss your smile and the hugs so much.
I am so very sad.

I imagine the terrible pain you must have had,
The day the truck hit our car.
The accident, it was bad.
It took you away so far.

Our love was strong for each other,
The best relationship that could ever be.
There will never be another,
You were the man for me.

It will be no more,
Just memories in my heart,
It will be no more,
Now that we are apart.

These lonely tears fall from my eyes,
Every day since you have been gone.
Why oh Why, did you have to die?
It just seems so very wrong.
