Best Thelma Poems
When I see you I see a rose
A flower from God from what you have shown
Your hello has that certain style
It says “I know you, we can talk a while”
We share certain things
That brought us together
Needless to say it wasn’t the weather
If I need to see you
It doesn’t take being clever
I just open my mouth and say what not or weather
I’m not a Romeo but I am a friend
Telling you that I’ll be there till the end
What we share on our job
We share with others
Are things from the heart is what I discovered
I share this with you because this is my art
A poem for you a piece of my heart
Thelma Leeson.......
is in a nursing home, dementia will take her,
and I will recite this at her funeral.
Thelma Jane was a Leeson and she was premmie born
Size of a sauce bottle to a tent her tiny form
Oh thy bathed her in olive oil, good for her premmy skin
And mother Eva said to Tom no tent for it’s a sin!
Because she needed better care Jane Tattam took her in
Jane and Morry they were childless, second Mum and Dad did grin
May,1930 the ninth, was when she came to earth
Cool day in a rug , snug as a bug, this tiny babies birth
Her parents then lived in a tent for Tom he was a fencing
With Walter, May, and Henry some of the older kids I’ll mention
Little sister Marge arrived, sugar diabetes so grim
Mum Eva did her best to do the doctoring
Thelma would return to Eva and live in the big old tent
But she was used better things a house and all it meant
Marg was in the Warwick hospital, Thelma drove the sulky in
She clung to the reins, but the horse knew the way there and back again
At school in the forties two Soldiers did walk in
One asked for Fay and Thelma, just brother Walter tall and slim
Nervous Thelma took em to see Tom and Eva at home
Eva said it’s your brother, he’s been a Droving on his own
Thelma would become a nurse, but first she worked in a store
Aunt Jane didn’t like the hair clips in Thelma’s hair she saw
It was in Toowoomba forbidden clips were then a sin
Aunty Jane she made the rules, and Thelma wore em thin .
Thelma was a great Nurse with a timid gentle humor
Prince Alfred in old Sydney, and Mt Olivet would groom her
Michael Lalor of the Irish had captured Thelma’s heart
And Mary arrived a love child, right from the very start.
Then Michael he was called away the lord had taken him
Mary married in the church of Michaels christening….Ireland..
Thelma loved the wedding place, in old Ireland lovely crowd
Mary is her father's daughter, Thelma was so very proud
We always laughed with Thelma for at parties she would cook
At cousin Nell’s the Great Grandkids ate her cakes and sometimes chook
We all miss our lovely Thelma, it’s sad she goes away
But written on the mist of time is Thelma this I say…..Don Johnson
A much loved lady....
Her knowledge of faith's right
in essence, not contrite
she spoke with rigors heralding
not jarring to incite!
On her my trust could lean,
a family in-between,
I loved her for her fairness sight
without a trace of learned respite!
I missed her, now and then
I'd call her, when I can,
when learning of her now demise
a sadness helped me realize ~
She'll never come again,
Oh, Thelma, praise, amen ~
We love you for our families plight
you settled with your brave insight!
Until we meet again ~
your blessings linger then,
God keep you now, for all times spent,
Our time on Earth ~ we only rent!
In a secluded part of the old schoolyard,
She sits alone,and crying hard.
After all, what's a girl of six supposed to do
When she believes no one loves Thelma Lou?
Alone, next to the phone, on a Friday night;
Not a single boyfriend in sight.
A week til the prom, and she feels so blue.
It's so evident that nobody loves Thelma Lou!
A single light burns in the college dorm;
All the other girls are partying in the local town.
Four long years without one friend who is true.
She's now convinced no one will ever love Thelma Lou!
Drugs,and booze, have made living only a blur.
An occasional one-night-stand that means nothing to her.
She'll take her life! Oh yes! She's thought that through.
Who cares anyway? Since no one loves Thelma Lou.
Just as she prepares to commit the act,
Her eyes fall on a gospel tract.
Yeah, she'll take time to read it through.
What's five more minutes to an unloved Thelma Loou?
There she learned how Jesus died
To forgive her sin, and heal her hurt inside.
She prayed, and received eternal life anew.
She met Someone Who loves Thelma Lou!

It was evening when you went away,
I wondered where did you go.
While your twin sister was left cooing,
and playing with her toes.
Come along kids they told us,
don’t worry, nothing is wrong.
But I saw the tears on their cheeks,
as they hurried us along.
I heard them say you gave no warning,
no crying or gasping for a final breath.
I thought that you were just sleeping,
I did not understand the meaning of death.
A few days later they told me,
that off to heaven you flew.
I was mad that you never even said goodbye,
Or asked me to go with you.
I was so young when you left us,
but I still hold the memory of you within.
Even after they put you in the dark earth,
and no one ever talked about you again.
