well the lines ran together please forgive me but the words are all there.

Hey everyone I just joined the group and noticed no one had posted anything in a while. Here is a poem I wrote in 2008.

WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE TO HOLD YOU NEAR, TO FEEL YOU BREATHE AGAIN; I NEED YOU NOW, LIKE I NEEDED YOU THEN.

HOW I REMEMBER THAT WARM SUNNY DAY, AND THE COLD COLD WATER THAT FIERCELY TOOK YOU AWAY

YOU WENT HOW ANYONE SHOULD GO, SURROUNDED BY FAMILY, PEOPLE WHO CHERISHED YOU SO.

YOU WERE RIPPED OUT OF THIS WORLD A ROSE BUD YET TO BLOOM SO MUCH LEFT FOR YOU TO LIVE FOR SO MUCH FOR YOU TO DO

YOU WERE MOTHER, DAUGHTER, SISTER, WIFE, A SHOULDER TO CRY ON.

STRONG WORDS TO COMFORT, YOU LOVED WITH SUCH A PASSION; AND COULD MOVE MOUNTAINS, WITH YOUR DETERMINATION.

SUCH LOVE FOR THIS LIFE NO ONE HAD AS MUCH AS YOU

NOW WE ARE LEFT

WITH OUT YOUR WISE WORDS TO HEAR, WITH OUT YOUR SMILE SO BRIGHT, SO GRACIOUS, SO ASTONISHING.

WHAT WAS ONCE SO FULL OF LIFE NOW LAY IN THE GROUND MOTIONLESS, BREATHLESS, LIFELESS

Some days, life is an ocean breeze

Full of promise of times of ease.

Other days bring thoughts of woe

No matter which way you go.

But God has given to us each other

Christian sister, Christian brother

To help with trials, both good and bad,

To lend a hand, a smile, a tad



Of hope to get us through it all

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.

So focus on a lovely thought

And let the trial linger nought.



For God, Whose Love always abides

Wants us on the other side

Of every test, and trial, and such.

He truly cares so very much.



So when you see a friend in trouble

Say,"I'll be there on the double!"

BE that Christian sister, brother

Show them love, but do not smother



Them with words that makes it seem

like you have a dot, they have a beam.

Just give a hug, a smile, a grin; they'll see

Our Jesus is for eternity.

A saturday and working, And this not out of norm, I guess I'll just keep smiling, And try some smiles to form.

And to those who may read this, I wish to you the best, For life's too short, enjoy it, Don't frown like all the rest.

I just posted my annual Christmas poem. I'll be reading it to Smorg's guitar accompaniment at the church Wassael Night tonight.

I've been working on a Christmas poem. I try to do one every year and then I read it at our church Wassael Night. Some are better than others...

Good morning All! That would be great Sheba...I have lost my muse. I think I have just been real busy and unable to sit down long enough to focus on my thoughts which is why I havent been able to write.

Welcome, Sister! I have made you an editor so you can post blogs to the group. Feel free to post poems.

hi, i just joined golo 3 days ago. check out my profile. I write poetry and short stories. I won best poet in grade school. I write when i'm happy, sad, bored or whenever. Its therapy for me,mostly.

I posted a poem I wrote for my fifteen year old granddaughter Mara. Earlier this year, she came home from school and found her mother dead in her bed. She performed CPR until the medics came, but it was too late. She did everything right, but her mother died anyway. This poem is for Mara.
