Going about life as usual..
Busy with daily things that I do..
Going here and there trying to get things done..
I saw you, or thought so..
And tried not to stare..
Same smile I use to remember..
Tall and complexion fair..
No, It can't be..
Years have past since you've seen me..
Thoughts of long ago,cross my mind..
With memories that was almost lost..
An accident took you from me..
This person,you it can't be..
We shared a life of love..
Children were born,and they called you dad..
A good life is what we had..
Than one day,with out warning..
The angels took you from us..
Tears and sorrow was felt by all..
The kids miss you,your name they cried out..
Years have come and gone since that horrible day..
The kids are parents themselves now..
And finding their own way..
It is this time of year, your sorely missed..
And if you where here a grandpa you'd be..
Who is this man that I see?
Maybe God put him here ,so we didn't forget..
Life's to short,not to be happy..
To have thoughts of what life has meant..
Having to share and care for someone,a lover and a friend..
I do miss you,but it's time to move on..
Love is too precious to hold it all in..
So good bye my first love,till we met again..
This courage comes within,cause..
I thought it was you..

When you're good, you're good Sharon :)


Reading this poem reminded me of seeing someone last night I once knew. Had to take a second look to realize it wasn't as that old goat kicked the bucket several years ago. That old goat was my ex father-in-law :D

Chance. It had to be really hard for you to see that man that looked like your husband, brings back so many memories.
Once in awhile, I see this one guy in town that is the spittin' image of mine that passed away. It just makes you stop...like ya can't move.
Thank you for sharing another beautiful poem.

Rose.

I WONDER

I think of you often, I wonder how you are,

You're in Heaven, and gone away so far.

I wonder if you are happy, at your home in the sky,

I know you are flying now, up there so high.

I wonder if you miss me, as much as I miss you?

And I wonder if you still love me, like you used to.

I can feel you beside me, even though I cannot see,

I know you could never, totally leave me.

I wonder if you begged God, to please let you stay?

The night he took your hand, and led you away.

I do know you must have cried a river full of tears,

While walking away, your mind replayed all your years.

So many scenes in your life, passed before your eye,

And leaving each person behind, had to make you cry.

You surely saw the loving face of your dear Mother,

Yet you knew you were going to finally see your Brother.

I know you cried, because you were leaving your son,

So many things between you and D.J. are left undone.

I know you saw Bobby, and the things you used to do,

And I'm sure you know how much he loves, and misses you.

You saw a little blonde haired girl, that would be Kris,

For Kristian and Bobby, you were thier Daddy they'll forever miss

I know you panicked, when it came to leaving me.

I wouldn't know how to live without you, that you did see.

I wonder if you'll ever know how many lives you did touch?

Losing you is hurting all of us, so very, very much.

There is a big chunk of our hearts, that forever will be gone,

And believe me, it is so very hard, to try to be strong.

You are the reason, that I have made it this far,

You taught me unconditional love, you are my shining star.



FOR D.D.M. 1958-2002
I wrote this about a year ago.
Rose.

Yes, Chance, I agree. Nobody knows that kind of loss unless they have been through it and felt it. Your poem brought back memories, now I can look back and smile at the good times we had. Bittersweet memories.....

Love ya.
Rose.
