Where?

Where are the days that started with a grin
Because you helped those days begin

Where os the feeling that I float on air
Just because I know you're there

Where is the hand that reached for mine
And reassured me things are fine

Where is the joy bubbling deep
Of everything that was ours to keep

Here in my heart, unfailing love
Tied to your heart now up above

When I need strength you are the one
That my heart can always rely upon

My guardian angel you became
My days will never be the same

But with your guiding, shining light
Somehow I'll make it through all right

Together we walk hand in hand
Whispering hearts they understand

That even death cannot divide
Two heart that beat still side by side

Your daughter

Your daughter missed her dad today
I wish there'd been another way
I wish you could have seen the light
And knew that it would be all right

I know that as the presents gather
There is one thing that she would rather
Have more than all the gifts piled high
To see the sparkle in your eye

And in your voice the joyful sound
That meant your princess was around
And on your face the biggest smile
To be with her a little while

And I can never ease her pain
She won't see you on earth again
She'll have to put her faith in love
That now comes down from up above

I hope some day she'll understand
That hurting her was not your plan
You wanted for her all the best
But hurting so you needed rest

God walks with you now in grace
Perhaps so there with be a place
And time that harmony's restored
To the daughter you adore

Dr Elizabeth Kubler-Ross :

People are like stained glass windows:
they sparkle and shine when the sun's out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is light within.

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather
than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy,
not respectable, and wealthy not rich; to study hard, think
quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to the stars
and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear on
cheerfully, do all bravely, awaiting occasions, worry never;
in a word to, like the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common.

William Ellery Channing

Hold me again

The thin wall that now stands between us
Is not match for the love in our hearts
For if we believe in each other
Our souls once joined will not part

You carried the world on your shoulders
You tried hard to give all your best
But sometimes when pain fogs our thinking
We can choose the wrong way to find rest

Our love strong and true you believed in
And that love I will never forsake
For as long as your memories live in my heart
I know that my spirit wont break

I will walk with you always beside me
Each blessing and teardrop that we shared
The gift that you are fills my soul every day
And reminds me just how much you cared

For you did not leave this world not loving
Just unsure and afraid from the pain
So I know when I reach life's horizon
I'll be held in your arms once again

On the porch

On the porch in the rain I am standing
Water runs down my face, I feel your touch
Feel you stand close behind, gently hold me
And the tears start to fall, miss you much

And yet on the porch, I feel you with me
In each room of the house, I see your smile
And I know although your body's gone to ashes
You'll be staying here with me, a long long while

For each morning in the sleepy mist of waking
I hold you close though you have gone away
I think about our love and the joy it brought to me
And gather up my strength to face the day

And each moment I'm at work you surround me
And your touch is on everything I do
Each time I grow a little or stand for what is right
I know some of that steel comes from you

In the evening when I spend time with my son
Or reach out to help a friend whose feeling low
I can feel you in my heart, your love it holds me close
And deep within my soul, somehow I know

I know that you are still walking with me
Through the sun, through the rain, through the storm
The deep abiding love that we shared within our souls
Holds me close, every day, and keeps me warm

I've got some older poems on a group that I'm getting ready to close. I will be posting them to my blog, please be patient.

On my eyelash

Sparkling
Heart kisses
Thoughts of you
Drift through my eyes

Tender
Evening dreams
Missing you
My heart just cries

Focus

Focus on your fingers
Feel the warmth
Your hand in mine

Focus on your lips
Feel the depth
This love divine

Focus on your hair
It’s feel upon
My fingertips

Focus on your skin
The taste of you
Upon my lips

Though gone so long
My senses still
Recall the days

My soul made whole
When I did give
My heart away

Early Morning Glow

You are the early morning glow
You are the song my heart does know
You are the gift from up above
You are my sweet eternal love

With gentleness you held my heart
And death can not tear us apart
For in our souls the love lives on
A blessed joy in each new dawn
