Heaven called an angel home
it's bittersweet I can’t deny,
but I do have a few questions
since I never got to say goodbye.

Will she miss our conversations?
and all the argument we had,
which usually ended in laughter
because we could never stay mad.

Is she happy she’s in a better place?
where she can finally rest in peace,
and peak through the holes from heaven
so she still watch over me.

Can she see through my bravery?
and how helpless I feel that she’s gone,
I bet she shakes her head at my insecurity
cause I only show sadness when I’m alone

Does she think she did her best?
and is proud of the man I’ve become,
as I do everything I can
to pass her wisdom onto my son

Does she know how much I love her?
as I wonder why she had to die,
I wish tears could bring her back
cause I’ve nothing lately but cry

I can’t believe how much I miss her
and I don’t know when this feeling will pass,
I just wish for one more conversation
for questions I'll never get to ask.

Virginia Gelok Date: 2/25/2022 4:44:00 PM Wonderful poem. It tells of a man so very in love. One who misses his love so much since she's been taken away. She knows, she knows! The pain will one day calm and you will be able to move on. But you will always miss your one true love. Login to Reply

Marikate Kingston Date: 6/17/2021 7:53:00 PM It is so beautiful to me. I have lost my my mother. This is sad, but I still was so moved by it. I have read it four times. I hope I will never relate to losing my husband. "Is she happy in a better place?" I often wonder. There is no cancer in heaven I hope. Even though I cried a little, it was good to read. I'm really am glad I came across it. Login to Reply David Kelly Date: 6/27/2021 7:30:00 AM Hi Marikate. I hope you never do either. It's always difficult when you can't say goodbye. She was only 56, no major medical issues, and she passed away in her sleep one night. So many conversation we never got to have. I'm glad my words meant something to you. Thanks for reading.
