To Those I Love

When I am gone, release me, let me go.
You musn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Just be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call, and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you, soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say
"Welcome Home"

WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU

When I must leave you
For a little while-
Please do not grieve
And shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
Through the years,
But start out bravely
With a gallant smile;
And for my sake and
In my name live on
And do all the things the same,
Feed not your loneliness
On empty days,
But fill each waking hour
In useful ways,
Reach out your hand
In comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you
And hold you near;
And never, never
Be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

Grandmother

My heart never felt so much pain
The sky came together and dropped lots of rain
I thought my life was coming to an end
All I know is I will never give in
You were the reason I became who I am
You hold my life in the palm of your hand
You showed me right from wrong
But the day you died everything went wrong
You knew me oh so well
The day you died my heart fell
I will never forget you until I die
Maybe someday we will meet up in the sky
I know the Lord took you cause it was time
But he should of let me say the right goodbye
I think of you from day to day
Wondering what you would think of me today.

My Grandma

In my Rose Garden of memories
 I see you standing there
 An angel in disguise
 Who taught me how to care
 I long to hear your voice
 for real not in my dreams
 I am missing you so much these days
 how empty my world seems
 People say time heals all wounds
 that someday the pain will subside
 But Grandma I can tell you
 I think they must have lied
 The emptiness I am feeling now
 is strong and I am weak
 These days go by without you
 so dreary and so bleak
 In my Rose Garden of memories
 I know you’ll always be
 for though you’re gone
 from this mortal world
 In my heart you’ll always be

Mom, I miss you so very much

I miss "Good Luck" each morning when I leave,
I miss "How was your day" when I return,
I miss "Ahhh Cheezits",
I miss your life,
I miss your smile,
I miss you every minute,
Since you went away.

My Mother My Angel  ... In memory of my Mommy

Once upon a time an angel held my hand, 
She wiped away my tears and helped me understand.
Our time on earth is brief, there's lessons to be learned,
Each precious day God gives us another page is turned.
Every chapter full of memories, times of joy and tears,
Triumphs and defeats, through every passing year.
She loved us unconditional, always by our side,
When no one else would listen, in her we could confide.
With gentle words of wisdom she led us on our way,
Down the paths of righteousness if ever we did stray. 
She saw the light in everyone and gave with no regrets,
Always from her heart let's us not forget.
Angels come in many forms, for me it is my mother,  
With love I cannot say in words there'll never be another.  
Every day I turn the page in my heart will ever remain,  
Everything she taught me as I stroll down memory lane.  
Thank you God for giving me the most priceless of all treasures,
Help my Lord to keep alive her memory here forever.
I pray that I can some day be everything she hoped I would,  
That's she smiling down from heaven knowing she did good.  
As we gather here today there's no ending to her story,
Another chapter has begun full of grace and glory.
Gods called her to his heavenly home, part of his great plan,
Although it may be hard, we all must understand.
Faith is what is hoped for, things we cannot see,
Heaven is promised to all of us if only we believe.

Your Mother is Always With You ... In Memory of MY Mom

When you need mom most, don't forget she's still a part of you.

Your mother is always with you...
She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street. 

She's the smell of bleach in
your freshly laundered socks. 

She's the cool hand on your
brow when you're not well. 

Your mother lives inside
your laughter. She's crystallized
in every tear drop...
 
She's the place you came from,
your first home.. She's the map you
follow with every step that you take.
 
She's your first love and your first heart
break....and nothing on earth can separate you.
 
Not time, Not space...
Not even death....
will ever separate you
from your mother.... 

You carry her inside of you....

A Poem for My Mom - in memory of My Mother Mary Zaleski

Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain,
 Is a smile I still wear at the sound of your dear name.
 The precious word is ‘MOTHER’, she was my world you see,
 But now my heart is breaking cause she’s no longer here with me.
 God chose her for His angel to watch me from above,
 To guide me and advise me and know that I’m still loved.
 The day she had to leave me when her life on earth was through,
 God had better plans for her, for this, I surely knew.
 When I think of her kind heart and all those loving years,
 My memories surround me and I can’t hold back the tears.
 She truly was my best friend, someone I could confide in,
 She always had a tender touch and a warm and gentle grin.
 I want to thank you Mother for teaching me so well,
 And though the time has come that I must bid you this farewell.
 I’ll remember all you’ve taught me and make you proud you’ll see.
 Thank you my Dear Mother for all the love you showed me.
 Although you’ve left this earth and now you’ve taken flight,
 I know that you are here with me each morning, noon and night.

Farewell, Dear Mother, I miss you.
