Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Take Heed

If I leave before you do
These words you must try to heed
Remember them forever
So from your grief you will be freed

I know that you will miss me here
And life will not be the same
But "your "candle has not gone out like mine
It's just a flickering of your flame 

Live life to its fullest 
Don't let sadness anchor your heart
Be grateful for the time we had
Not our time apart

Find comfort in your memories
Of our amazing life  together 
I know we expected it never to end
And "we" would be forever 

Our time has come for changes
Time to do it on your own
I know it will be difficult for you both
And you will feel alone

Please try and enjoy your life
Without me by your side
Enjoy all that life has to offer you
Don't let sadness keep you preoccupied

Life is way too precious 
Not to enjoy each and everyday 
Laugh ,have fun, be silly
Please don't waste your time away

I was loved so deeply
Loved by the best
Had my two special boys
My life was truly blessed

Take care of each other
My beautiful family
Rejoice and laugh together
About the nutty memories of me


Remember all the happiness we shared
The laughter and the love
Know we will be together again
Beyond the clouds above

LOVE YOU BOTH ETERNALLY ....

CayCay Godwin May 9, 2025 at 10:00 PM Oh, my. I didn't intentionally start at the beginning of your postings, but I'm glad I landed here. This is so very well penned, soo perfect in words, emotions and rhymes. Lines of pain, lines of wisdom, lines that could be read at most any funeral because you covered it all so beautifully, tenderly and lovingly ... CayCay

Poet Tellaferro February 19, 2023 at 2:35 PM Ok, I will admit. I got misty eyes reading this and it help me put in perspective my second mother passing. Anyone who has lost someone will not read this without a dry eye. Thank you for this poem. Words like these help..... Deb M May 13, 2023 at 3:58 AM
