Best Reminders Poems
Green Luna moths, cardinals and dragonflies too
Freeist beings on earth is butterfly
Dusky moth form a spiritual tree.
All effortlessly gliding from heavenly sky
Each being born from angel’s heartfelt cry
Exuding great beauty without a try,
Eretheal angels like to sit
Their enhanced beauty great as star above.
Great snapshot moments as they flirt and flit
Excrete whispers to each by sweet morning dove
Keeping warm counsel from me and from you.
Fully aware they are expressing love.
Landing lightly for a sip of warm dew
Garden minxes and brownies they do play
Heavenly secrets are less than a few
Giving us this joy each and every day
Reminds us of Father God in every way.
There they sit, those mocking reminders, on my nightstand table.
I wish I could just throw them out, but I find that I am unable.
There they sit, reminding me, of the life that we once shared,
Before the tragic, life-changing attack, on towers no longer there.
The playbill dated, September 8, in the year 2001;
The last time we went on a date and enjoyed a life of fun.
Three days before he started work in the Trade Center Towers;
If only I had known that day, my life would change in hours.
The cell phone with his last voice mail, which I will never erase;
His calming message, I can replay, next to a picture of his face.
I wasn’t there to answer it when he said his last “good-bye”
It still sits beside my bed always there to make me cry.
A pair of his bifocal glasses that he used to read at night,
Completes the set of memories when my life was still alright.
I know it’s been almost 15 years, and people say I should let go
But I don’t want to forget this man, who I used to love to know.
There they sit, those mocking reminders, on my nightstand table.
I wish I could just throw them out, but I find that I am unable.
rainbows remind me
of a time when simple things
were the spice of life....
No matter how fast one treks toward their future.
Their past always has an open invitation into their present!
It rests in peace on the old farmer’s land
A sizeable wood frame with a silo
The late farmer and his hard-working wife
Lay ‘neath tattered crosses near the barn door
Members of the Greatest Generation
Rarely visited by their grandchildren
But, oh, that barn held animals and hay
A buggy that was mounted to a horse
Taking their clan to the Lord’s house Sundays
Still sits within the red barn’s pine board walls
Reminders of a time not so long past
When the work ethic was exemplified
Viewers see it now, wonder who lived there
Farms with old red barns succumb to decay

The sun, it looks deceiving
from inside this warm house.
For when I took a step outside,
the wind lifted up my blouse.
“Well, that was rather rude,” I thought
as I turned back toward the door.
I let the sunshine warm my back,
then the wind came back for more.
It touched my hair, and chilled my toes,
leaves floated all around.
I looked to the sun and said, “My friend,
come closer to the ground.
I need your warmth, you seem so weak.
Is everything alright?”
The sun’s warm rays kissed my skin,
and then he sadly replied,
“The season, it’s a-changin’,
the cold wind’s blowin’ in.
Now you know I’m not as I appear
when you look through your window
again.”
As I heard his explanation, I felt
he was telling me something more…
Reminding me things aren’t always what
they seem,
and behind me, I closed the door.
many birds remind
despite life there is a song
so why not take heed....
On one of those days
That hurt more than most
I want you to know
That I'm ever so close
May you see the reminders
That are all around you
Like the loving of family
And caring friends too
May your cup overflow
May your bounty be great
Such as mine are
In this beautiful place
The wind is my whisper
To tell you I'm there
A gentle rain in the spring
To help hide a tear
The first ray of sunshine
On each glorious day
An everlasting reminder
That I'm touched by God's grace
As the leaves turn in fall
And the flakes fall as snow
I'll always be with you
Wherever you go
So reflect in the memories
Of my life's beautiful past
May your heart know no sorrow
May your sadness not last
Though our relationships changed
I still watch over you
I share in your sadness
And happiness too
May these gentle reminders
Help comfort and soothe
For now I'm an Angel
And walk next to you

Five generations of stuff can be found
Yet, in clutter the house isn’t drowned
I try to be selective in the items I retain
Only if of family value will they remain
The oldest, by far, is a sculpted clay vase
Its origin in the 1800s I am able to trace
It belonged to a lady many greats ago
Her name is just about all that I know
It’s a true antique, but of little worth
I recall seeing it ever since my birth
My mother remembers it just the same
To want to keep it, who can blame
To be candid, it is as ugly as can be
But it still means a whole lot to me
When I see it, a connection I feel
It makes my ancestors seem real
The porcelain dog has a cracked ear
The damage was done by me, I fear
At three years old I made the crack
My grandmother kindly glued it back
The elegant bed on which I sleep
Is an actually useful item I keep
It was always reserved for a guest
And with a great many was blest
It’s no place where Washington slept
Only regular people has it ever kept
None of the names historians know
I recall hearing their stories though
Grandfather clock’s from modern times
But four times an hour, I enjoy its chimes
My father got it when he was an old man
“I always wanted one and so now I can.”
The living room holds a Victorian chair
After my parents died, I placed it there
But just for looks, it’s sure no place to sit
Because it’s hard, not comfortable a bit
Writing this poem brings tears to my eyes
It is just amazing just how fast time flies
All around I see treasures from the past
Favorite things I’m glad I’ve amassed
Please remind me of the stars at night, I may forget what they are
Remind me that the sun will still shine the next day
Let me recall the raindrops, I may not know why the clouds weep
Make me remember this home, for I may see this only a house.
Remind me of the days that went gone, memories may cure me back
Tell me the story of the sea, I may forget where we first started
Never forget to remind me of my existence, for I may not know what life is.
Remind me everyday that happiness is you and me.
Call my name, I may forget it
Hug me tight, I may not know how it feels
Remind me if you still love me
Or at least remind me if you never did.
Candle lights go out in a blow
to set off the party event in a go,
knife in hand I slice the icing,
all faces around turn on their grin,
the flow of red cream in slow motion
seemed to dance to a song in commotion,
the dainty bite that I took in
let my heart speak out from within;
Birthdays are Reminders
to Thank LIFE for all it offers,
Birthdays are Reminders
to offer LIFE one’s Prayers.
Birdsong in the morning, droplets of dew
Jog memories of a loved one, missed so
Spectacular sky of heavenly blue
Birdsong in the morning, droplets of dew
Days lovely as this remind me of you
All things splendorous out on worldwide show
Birdsong in the morning, droplets of dew
Babbling brooks and whispering winds that blow.
Birdsong in the morning, droplets of dew
Spectacular sky of heavenly blue
Days lovely as this remind me of you
All things splendorous out on worldwide show
Jog memories of a loved one, missed so
Spectacular sky of heavenly blue.
I looked at the fern
Spread like a fan in the woods
Yellow fragile leaves
I spread my arms just the same
Welcome reminders growing

From the love shared
we became a strong coupling pair
And towards a future together
my heart had began to repair.
For my past love led to sadness
And I lost the love of my life.
My jealousy had cost me my heart
Leaving it broken from all my past strife.
I had trusted in a man
to whom my heart I had given.
But a double life he led in his secrecy
Apart from the life I thought us to be living.
And he broke my heart to my dismay
Inside I felt the only one being made to pay.
To pay for the adultery that I didn't commit
But saddly he had chosen 2 with another permit.
Allowing new love but also the loss of love been
Throwing away a future that together I'd seen.
My heart was left in torn pieces he'd ripped out
Leaving my trust in any future in love to cause doubt.
Weakened by his betrayal I didn't believe I could go on
Non longer did feel I was worthy of love to belong.
Trust had been shattered and I began avoiding men
Believing that I'd never in life love ever again.
But over the years I began to grow strong
And once again I felt that I did belong.
And soon I met another love I could depend and rely
So with an optimistic head u gave love another try.
And slowly but surely a bond was beginning to grow
And the joining of two hearts once again did show.
My trust issues repaired by the patience and trust
That this new lover had given me back at my worst.
And now a future I can step into with hope
With only nostalgic reminders
of love relations that another man broke.
Now I am at the happiest that I've ever been
And so I relish my past mistakes that I have seen.
