I Wish You Were Here----

In memory of Ann Mary Pospisil Stenberg

I wish you were here 
For one more birthday to honor your presence.   For one more Easter to decorate your home. For one more Thanksgiving to help with cooking.  For one more Christmas to open our presents.  For one more occasion to say that we love you. 

I wish you were here----
 For one more day of sharing your kindness.  For one more hour of telling some secrets.  For many more moments of getting to know you, and to comfort your hands as you affectionately needed.   For hundreds of times to mend whatever was broken.

I wish you were here----
To appreciate the warmth and enjoyment of nature, as you'd take lifetime journeys you weren't able to finish.  For you to stand outside without a wheelchair below you, and walk for miles as the sun shines upon you.  
I wish you were here---

To enjoy your family and friends, and  to spend that time which was devastatingly shortened.  For you to be happy and healthy, without all that pain you had tragically suffered.  I wish you were here for thousands of reasons.

Now that you're gone, and the distance is lonely, my smiling has vanished while the tears are constantly flowing.  I'm here on Earth. You left me behind.  You're free in Heaven. There's no sickness or grief.  God's kingdom is privileged with the wings of perfection.  They've been blessed with an ultimate Angel.  I miss you my dear mother and I'm praying you've heard me.  When it's my time to go, I'm hoping you'll find me.  As the most beautiful star which glistens above, I know you're the one who's watching and listening.  

I wish you were here----I'll never forget you..
I wish you were here---you'll always be treasured.

Robert Nehls Date: 10/1/2015 4:52:00 AM Hi Deborrah Ann. This is a beautiful tribute to your mother. I can relate to the lines you have written in this poem and I can feel your joy and pain at the absence of your Mother. It has been almost 10 years since my Mother went on to heaven and I miss her loving voice and tender touch every day. But, I am also grateful for all the lessons and love we shared. A mothers love, there is nothing that can compare. Lovely poem, my friend.... Robert. Login to Reply Robert Nehls Date: 10/4/2015 5:39:00 AM Hi Deborrah Ann. If you are really serious about having your poem made into a song then be diligent and cautious when you research different companies. Your words are worthy of a song but finding a compatible producer may be challenging. Pray sincerely for God's guidance, my friend..... Robert. Deborrah Ann Stenberg Date: 10/1/2015 1:10:00 PM HELLO ROBERT. THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL RESPONSE. WITH HER ABSENCE, I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN WORKING ON SUBMITTING THIS TO SONG WRITING COMPANIES, HOPING TO HAVE MY POEM PRODUCED AS A COUNTRY WESTERN, SPIRITUAL SONG. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
