For I'm not gone
I'm merely out of sight
For in everything you've shared with me
A part of me burns bright
In my family and loved one's smiles
Or gestures
You'll recall a time or place
We've laughed or loved or shared such
That mere absence cannot erase
So smile for me
And laugh for me
And live your life with zest
Do treasure all our memories
I offer you my strength
Go on with life and be proud of me
In you I have such faith.
This page is dedicated to our Mother. She may be gone, but never forgotten. Her memory will live on forever in the hearts of her family. Our Mom is survived by my sister and myself, four grandchildren Jason, Cory, Karen, Darren, several relatives and numerous dear friends and loving pets.
We miss you terribly, Mom!!!
The following collections of poems have brought me much comfort, hope and strength. It is my heartfelt wish that by sharing these poems with you that you will also receive some personal comfort and strength from them.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
& each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand.
That an angel came and called my name & took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those things I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that that could never be,
For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From his great golden throne, He said,
"This is eternity, and all I've promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past, but here it starts anew".
"I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past".
"But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things,
you know you shouldn't do".
"But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're free,
So won't you take my hand now and share My life with Me"?
"So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,
I'm Right Here In Your Heart".
David M. Romano
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back on it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you sunshine for tomorrow.
My lifes been full, I savored much;
good friends, good times,
A loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief,
don't lengthen it with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

and the sun has set me free
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me - but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take,
and each must go alone,
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan
A step on the road home
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the hills we know,
and bury your sorrow among the trees
Miss me - but let me go.

It always brings to mind
The thoughts and hopes we shared
And our many happy times.
And the quiet moments, too,
I think of all the things
So unique to me and you.
And though the many miles
Make it seem we're far apart
Warm memories like these
Keep you ever in my heart.

More profound than her child will ever know
It isn't until her daughter holds her own
Will she possibly comprehend the meaning of love.
I never truly knew how my mother felt about me
Until I held my sweet babes
It was at that moment I understood
Just how much she cared.
We finally shared a bond
So common, yet so miraculous
I looked to her for guidance
And she gave it to me without judgement.
Her kind words and advice
Came quickly to reality
She was my mentor and my friend
Without her I was lost.
So many times she had gone
Above and beyond the call of a mother
I wanted to say, "Thank You"
And convey how grateful I was.
For everything she had done
Not just while I was a mother
But especially for when
I was her daughter.

And placed it in a vase.
I set it in the window
To greet the sun each day.
Each time I look upon it
The memories flood my soul
And takes me back to years gone by
When Life was worth it's gold.
Mom was still with us, then.
her smile was bright and warm
She touched so many hearts back then
With the kindness of her charm.
Mom loved her roses.
and the red one's I think the best
for it was her favorite color
above and beyond the rest.
Today she is in Heaven
Among God's flowers, there
Tending to God's roses
With her tender loving care.
