Forever in Our Hearts
Losing a loved one is the hardest thing you can do. We all must travel down this road of life.
At the end we wonder how we will make it through.
Grieving with the pain, crying all through the night.
We all enjoyed our time together.
You taught us most everything we know.
Now you have moved on to somewhere better.
We will miss you more than you'll ever know.
No more confusion, pain, or anything.
You are walking the streets of gold.
Our savior has given you your wings.
You will no longer grow old.
So fly and be free although you will be missed.
Your family is waiting for you.
Go and greet them with a kiss.
Don't worry about us, we will make it through.
We will meet again one day soon.
We will greet you with open arms.
Until then we will be thinking of you.
And you will remain forever in our hearts.
This Poems Story
I have been writing poetry for about thirteen years. Within the last four years I have experienced great tragedy and great joy. In 2011, I said hello and goodbye to my daughter, she was stillborn at twenty-six weeks gestation. My grandfather who suffered from Alzheimer's disease joined my daughter in Heaven in 2012. Just recently I gave birth to my rainbow baby, my son, in 2014. My best poems stem from such deep emotion that I am unable to speak, I write instead. This one in particular was written as we were making the final funeral preparations for my grandfather.
