What if?

“What if they’re not missing anything
since the time they slipped away?
What if your loved one sees what you do,
and hears every word that you say?
One day when we get to heaven
and we hold our loved ones so near,
what if they say, “I’ve been watching your life,
and you should have seen it from here!”

I Still Love You

“I didn’t say goodbye to you, there wasn’t any time.
You quickly slipped away from me, the timing wasn’t mine.
And since the day you passed away, I’ve thought of words not said,
and so I just decided to write them down instead.
I love you more than life itself, which means I love you still,
and I just want the world to know how much I always will.”

I Have These Holes

Last night my sadness woke me up and I
sobbed uncontrollably. The world was sleeping
so I turned to the Lord for conversation.

“I feel like I’m getting my life together, Lord,
except for these holes. The losses I have had,
have left these holes in me, and now my life
keeps seeping out the holes. I’ve tried filling
the holes with all kinds of things; busyness, food,
sympathy from others, but nothing works.”

And the grief from memories past envelops me again.
And I start rocking myself, holding myself,
trying to give comfort to my pain, wanting to gain
understanding; “this pain sure hurts, Lord.”

And then as early morning came, I heard him
softly call my name. With nail-scarred hands
outstretched to me, he said so very tenderly,

‘I have holes too.’ And then I knew,
He understood as no one could.”

I Always Will

“Although you are no longer here, but live with God above,
it doesn’t stop my thoughts of you, nor does it stop my love.
For love does not have limits, which means I love you still,
and I just want the world to know how much I always will.”

Just the Same

“I never got to hold you or bounce you on my lap.
I never got to read to you or watch you as you nap.
You slipped away so quickly, before I said your name. 
And yet, I want the world to know, I loved you just the same.”

Our Little Angel 

“You were our little angel we loved to hold so close,
the softness of your baby skin, like petals of a rose.
We wanted so to cuddle you and hold you in our arms.
You were our little angel with your sweet angelic charms.
And thinking of our memories, the ones we have so few.
For one day God had chosen you, to be his little angel too.”

In my Memory

“Not a single day goes by that I don’t think of you. 
Some tiny thing you might have said,
some things we used to do. 
But as the days keep slipping by
while you’re away from me, 
I still relive the days you lived, 
you’re in my memory.”
