The Loss Of Our Loved One
I remember the days I was happy like it was yesterday,
Your smile is brighter than the sun every morning,
Your soft soothing skin caressing my face as you wake me up,
I remember it all.
I miss the joy that filled my heart whenever I was around you,
I miss the moments we used to laugh at silly jokes,
I

Swimming in grief
I swim in the weight of what once was,
where your laughter rippled like sunlight on waves.
Now the tide pulls heavy, a silent hush,
as grief drags deep into shadowed caves.
Your touch—once the shore I reached with ease—
is now a ghost in the ebb and flow.
The water whispers in mournful pleas,
carrying echoes, I dare not let go.
Each

Sonnet for a Loved One - In Memory of Kim
We lose our loved ones since life is wayward.
For everyone, the breath of death, it stinks.
Its kiss, calamitous shame. E'en flowers
turn martyrs, beauty burns, and despair sinks.
A proud mother barred from her cherished calf.
She hates the dark hole, black toll, worthless tomb
which stakes a Cross, and none will wish to laugh
when elephant sorrows

On Losing Loved One Self-Reassessment
Close your eyes, it's all about you
The pain of losing a loved one is beyond words
Many responsibilities upon your shoulders
Hope and courage you'll have to share
To those loved ones whose heart need consoling
Need to have a heart of steel to outdone weakness
Paint smile to others to show encouragement
Whose cynosure eyes tend to show some mercy
There's

Eulogy For A Loved One
Poem for Dad
Of flesh and blood
that nature gives to our breath
must one day be given back
for life was lent by Earth's hand
and now it is returned
Dad though lives always in us
He is the movement of the swaying tree
The light that dawns our day
He is the sparkle glistening on the sea
The energy of the wave
He is

With out you
Nothing stops me from missing you,
pictures in memory
Is what i have left of you,
Living thru the pictures on my phone,
It's not my ideal on how
I want life too go .
My eyes keep getting
hard to dry.
My dreams
that's the

Loss Of A Loved One
Live every day to the fullest and appreciate the time you have here
Tell the people in your life how much you love them and hold them near
You can be called up to heaven any time without warning, the timing of which you may never know
In most instances, you are probably not ready to go
Everyone's journey

I Remember
I remember being eight years old,
Crying over the most valuable person in my life being ripped away.
I Remember being eleven years old,
Screaming ' you' at your grave,
Filled with anger and despair,
Wanting to visit you in the devil's lair.
I remember being thirteen years old,
Suicidal thoughts consumed my mind,
I wanted to be with you,
Because life was not

Death of a Loved One
The body dies, an end to its sojourn,
The soul transcends to another region,
A treasure is gone,
For this, we mourn.
Are we prepared for the inevitable?
Can we keep the music pleasurable?
Knowing that the souls of the departed abide,
Though from our view they hide.
If only we could see the departed,
Hear them tell us how they fare,
Perhaps we won’t

Death of a Loved One
I lost a friend so long ago
Back in the juvenile years of life
To witness death, too young,
But Universe thought it wise
To show death to a child.
I saw her laid in a box
covered with lively flowers
And lifeless notes of goodwill
Against my cheeks, I felt
Two hot springs crawl,
I wondered how can anyone
Be

He tried to rise and sit; I extended help and lifted.

Beyond the Veil: Grieving the Death of a Loved One
The body lies still, no breath to take,
A loved one's gone, a heart does break,
But where does the essence of the soul go,
Beyond this life, do we truly know?
Do we grieve for the body, now at rest,
Or for the spirit, forever blessed,
Released from the bounds of earthly pain,
Free to roam, to love again?
If we could

Death of a Loved One
Nostalgic of my Mom’s death…
… almost two decades ago…
then of my Dad’s demise---
--- in 2019---
here am I gripped with blest serenity
knowing that they both are with the Creator
by virtue of their faith in the Saviour
Who promised wondrous eternal life
to those that put their trust in Him---
the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Reminiscing those agonizing moments…
here am

Death of a Loved One
Death of a loved one
Fifty-five years! More or less! I did not know, then,
How, to your adieu, o mother, I said Amen;
Later, like the ache of an amputated limb,
Existence, like a gloom-glaring jail cell, grew grim...!
I know, from the frail earthen pitcher of physique,
Your soul, O my mother, that, for long, was homesick;
Had taken its

Death of a Loved One
In the Church, I met a woman quite old,
Bending under the weight of years.
I wonder what made her steal my attention.
Was it her struggle to hold back her tears?
Despite her frail stooping figure
She seemed to have an indomitable will.
Defeating all infirmities of age, she stood,
With a face though sad, yet tranquil and still.
Strange enough,
