Poems and More Poems

One morning when I awoke, extremely depressed, I heard a noise at my bedroom window.

When I went to see what it was, I saw this squirrel looking in at me.He stood at my screen for

about 20 minutes, just staring in at us. Even the dog couldn't scare him away.

I don't know if it could have been a "sign" from Jessica but it definitely brightened my day !!

SHE IS GONE

The air that I breathe is no longer blessed
With the magic of her sweet breath.
Her eyes that sparkled and danced and shone
Are closed in the stillness of death.
The earth she once walked is not quite as rich
She took with her treasures untold;
And arms that once cradled and loved her so much
Are empty without her to hold.

For a child with the promise of plenty of time
There were dreams of a future so bright;
But the sands fell too fast and the daytime of joy
Turned soon to the darkness of night.
Her dreams became ashes born on the wind
Of the storm that stole her one day;
And the spark of life that she once held so dear
Was swiftly taken away.

But the heart that she left me, though battered and worn
Is lightened with thoughts of her;
And memories are a beacon of light
When the joy in my heart becomes blurred.
I know she is safe, and I know she is well
And she cannot be touched by pain,
And there's sweetness in knowing my arms will be filled
And I'll hold her and touch her again.

For I know where she is and I know that she waits
With a hug and a smile and a kiss
And the place were she is, is far gentler with her
It's a world that's much better than this.
But our earth is much sweeter because she was here
And in the nights of sorrow and tears
I am grateful because she was my little girl
And I had her for just 4 short years.

THE CORD

author unknown

We are connected,

My child and I, by

An invisible cord

Not seen by the eye.

It's not like the cord

That connects us 'til birth

This cord can't be seen

By any on Earth.

This cord does it's work

Right from the start.

It binds us together

Attached to my heart.

I know that it's there

Though no one can see

The invisible cord

From my child to me.

The strength of this cord

Is hard to describe.

It can't be destroyed

It can't be denied.

It's stronger than any cord

Man could create

It withstands the test

Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,

Though you're not here with me,

The cord is still there

But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart

I am bruised...I am sore,

But this cord is my lifeline

As never before.

I am thankful that God

Connects us this way

A mother and child

Death can't take it away!

Emptiness

My arms feel so empty

More empty than the ocean would be if the water dried up

More empty than the sky would be if the stars burned out

There is no emptiness that is equal to or is greater than

The emptiness a parent feels without her child.

Sleep

Sleep has become a stranger to me.

When I sleep I feel the danger

You are taken from me every night

I try to keep you, Oh God how I fight

In the morning when I wake

I pray to God it's been a mistake

That I"ll find you in your bed

Hungry for breakfast wanting to be fed

But everyday reality delivers it's blow

It tells me the one thing I already know

I know you are an Angel up above

And you are watching us with a heart full of love

It's easier to fight the sleep

Because then I don't have to wake, thinking you are mine to keep.

I've let you go be one of God's Angels for now

But when I get there, we will make up for lost time somehow !

MY BEAUTIFUL JESSICA 

                                             THE DAYS ARE LONG,THE NIGHTS ARE EVEN LONGER,

SINCE I LAST SAW YOUR SMILE AND HEARD YOUR LAUGHTER

.ALTHOUGH I'M CHEERFUL ON THE OUTSIDE.

INSIDE I'M CRYING. WHEN HE TOOK YOU, HE ALSO TOOK A PART OF ME.

IF ONLY I COULD TALK TO HIM, FOR JUST A MINUTE

.I WOULD ASK HIM WHY HE TOOK YOU AWAY.

THE JOY YOU BROUGHT TO MY LIFE CAN NEVER BE REPLACED.

THE MEMORIES LIVE ON IN MY HEART FOREVER.

YOU ARE HERE IN SOUL. I BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE

BUT NOT IN BODY, LIKE YOU SHOULD BE.

I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. AND ALL THE TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER

.SWEET MEMORIES STILL FILL MY MIND WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE.

IT'S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. I FEEL SO LOST INSIDE.

THE MEMORIES  DON'T COMPARE TO THE DAYS I HAD WITH YOU

.BUT THE MEMORIES AND PICTURES ARE ALL I HAVE.

SO I HOLD ONTO THEM WITH ALL MY HEART

.I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU ALWAYS. 

  LOVE FOREVER AND A DAY, GA JEANI & GRANDPA RALFE   

Not even death can seperate hearts that really care

For memory spans all time and in seconds we are there

We hear the voice,

We see the smile,

and deep inside we know

that loved ones are a part of us wherever we may go.

They're in our hearts forever no matter when or where -

Not even death can seperate hearts that really care.
