Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Devoted family together, we grew.
Building strength, morals & virtues
Experiencing, accepting & learning
Trust & honesty, caring & sharing
Compromising & understanding,
WE LOVED!
United we reached & searched, we grew.
Affectionately sharing fears & tears
Engaging unrehearsed fun & humor
Enlightening the others hearts & souls
Genuinely amused & rejoicing,
WE LAUGHED!
Faithfully dedicating ourselves, we grew.
Committed to our individual life
Our own identities & styles to create
Achieving our goals & conquering strife
Temporarily reunite to enlighten & share.
WE LIVED!
Separate lives, our own realities unfold, we grew.
Apart combating our own failures & defeats
Our lessons & struggles abundant
With illuminated hearts & enlightened souls
Reminisce & commemorate our memories
TOGETHER WE LOVED, LAUGHED & LIVED!

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
A vision of mine, your soul aloft gliding amidst the soft breeze
Adorned in a white lace gown, the one you only dreamed to wear
Hair so thick gracefully draped around you flowing to your knees
Fashioned to an elegant chic style before you would never dare.
Loving freely with a genuinely happy smile upon your beautiful face
No longer being shunned by any regardless of what you feel or share
Enjoying the peace and serenity with freedom at your own pace
Your ravaged heart and devastation restored beyond compare.
No more are you inadequate, suppressed is your imagined self defeat
Equality now a reality since your once selfish identity is non-essential
Diminished afflictions of pain and struggle now with vigor you retreat
Within the heavenly archives of calming solace becoming divinely angelical.
In some unexplained fashion your remorse for any earthly regrets
Amazingly dissipated as your eminent departure had silently crept
As my mother with tears in your eyes and no precluding judgments
Gently whispered, ”I love you” weeks before slipping away as you slept.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Amidst the nights somber distance
Observing a vision of intense light
No glimpse of any earthly substance
I realize your presence tonight.
Soft aloof wings span reaching
Billowing gown of flesh & white lace
Your luminous glow, yet Heaven is weeping
Miracle blessed me with your grace.
Lifting me from the grips of death
Replenished my body & soul to survive
Hearing no voice yet giving me breath
Returned I sustain, feel my pain, I'm alive.
A glorified moment to re-unite
Realizing now, I understand & rejoice
My mother replenished & saved me that night
Undeniably, my mother gave me life twice.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Sharing life’s smallest pleasures
Captures incredible satisfaction
Surely smiles & laugher offer treasures
Extending intense quantities of affection.
Constantly stepping to an independent beat
Distinct laughter rewarding forever
Projecting a smile to all those I meet
Authentic kindness beyond all measure.
Yesterday’s tribulations are truly history
Tomorrow shall certainly arrive
Allowing past trials to design our destiny
Escapades hereafter a challenge to survive.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Acceleration of life, swiftly spinning
Profound lessons, self-inflicted superficial tour
Ignorant stroll misguided creates questioning
Yearning realities escape, fading desires soar.
Liberated soul, heart shackled & weary
Intimate desires, threshold unclear
Preordained destiny, ponder life’s query
Deprived emotions, tormenting fear.
Eluding truth, strength diminishing
Needing justification, answers unclear
Bright blinding light, stairway extending
Fatigued & bewildered, fallen to my knees.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Regenerating my hearts composition, my dear
Pondered the complex scars of the past
Examined the indentations from my fear
Unveiling that my love for you to forever last.
Perfecting my capabilities for affection
Your shining eyes my surgical instrument
Strengthened me beyond all comprehension
Healing my soul, quite the accomplishment.
Patiently adjusting the rhythm of my heart
Reborn now beating more energetic than ever
You have tenderly committed never to part
Effortlessly your modest healing cured me so clever.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Eloquently amidst a complex soul
Life’s horizons abundantly reach out
Scares of the heart relinquish their toll
Allow your affection to show, scream & shout.
To ultimately enjoy ones life
Is life’s one ultimate joy
Rise beyond your suffocating strife
Agonize no more, unselfishly employ.
Our body a mere empty shell
Harbors our fragile heart
Nurtures our precious soul so well
Entangled strength & love, never to part.
A compelling expression of humanity
Reveal to others love can be true
Express your devotion for all eternity
Untarnished inner peace begins with you.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Laying silent, blinds down & drapes drawn
No glimpse of shadows or light.
Many similar nights pondering changes
Deliberating life’s strife & fright.
Wide-awake not yet drifted to sleep
An unidentified image appears.
No human traits, no expression, no face
Not one sound this image whispers.
A dark image draped in a hooded robe
Standing so tall, so vivid, and so bold.
Surrounded by a celestial glow
A refreshing calmness began to unfold.
Visions projected lamenting good tidings
My pain, suffering & fear lifting away.
This image now fading, so was my doubt
Delivered to renewed strength, I pray.
Bestowed with relentless courage to conquer
All that was recently thrust in my path.
That unrecognized angel paved my future
Alleviating all anger from life’s wrath.

Brenda Buterbaugh Poem
Within the boundaries of my heart
thrives a dream of love to be
Forever gathering the wings of love
that only the angels can see.
Dance, sing, laugh and love
may your life be always carefree
Forever within our eternal bonds
I silently cherish my devotion for thee.
