Kisses to Heaven

Written By Lianne Lloyd

Sending kisses to Heaven for Steven so far.
I will send them to you upon a gossamer star...
And like an angel's wings on air will they glide and soar,
Not stopping 'til they reach you, ne'er a moment before.

No presents will I wrap, for my kisses are enough,
To let Steven know how every day he's thought of.
You know I love you and I am your wife so fair...
And I want you to know how I always feel you there.

When I awake in the morn, I'm reminded each day...
Of the mornings you came to me in your own special way.
Each night as I lay my head on my pillow to sleep,
I remember my promises to you I must keep.

So Steven, for your special day, cup each strong hand...
To catch my kisses as they waft to you from o'er the land.
My kisses; wet with tears and warmed by my love so true...
Are coming to Heaven...special delivery for you.

The Weeping Willow Tree

Written By Lianne Lloyd

Weeping willow stop your cries,
You will no longer die.
He played in your branches,
And swam in your sea,
He is now at peace with me.
Weeping Willow comfort me,
You can now be happy with Steve,
Weeping Willow sway your leaves,
You get comfort from the gentle breeze.
Weeping Willow you can mallow,
I get comfort from his shadow,
Steve was my friend,
Weeping Willow you were sad to see him end.

* Note * : Thanks Lianne for sending me this heart-felt poem and for sharing your feelings with me.

In Lianne's own words, she explains the background of her poem:

"This was a poem about my boyfriend his name is steven, I suffered a great loss when he died during an operation he was having, the writing of this poem helped me overcome my grief and see a happier side to his life and death."

Friends

Written By Loren Heath

Are we friends,
Or are we not?
You told me once
But I forgot
Tell me now
And tell me true
So I can say
I'm here for you.
Of all the friends I've ever met
You're the one I won't forget
And if I die before you do
I'll go to heaven
And wait for you
I'll give the angels
Back their wings
And risk the loss
Of everything.
Just to prove
My friendship is true
To have a friend,
a friend like you

* Note * : This poem you sent me, I can really relate to feeling the same way.

I'll Be Your Friend

Written By Moazam Rauf

Some times I wish you were here
To be my love, to be my dear
To see your smile, to see your eyes
I wish I could express the love I can't deny

But you can't see what you mean to me
You are my life, and will remain to be
These words I wrote are a gift for you
To make you smile in the seasons blue

I see your face in my heart
It glows in my eyes like a shinning glass
I don't care if you feel the same
If you were ever in love, or you were playing games

But I will pray for you every day
Pray that God shows you the right way
Despite all the distances between you and me
I am your friend, and will always be.

* Note * : Thanks for sending me your poetry! It's very heart-felt. *Smile*

Problems

Written By Hannah R. Diehl

Sometimes I feel like a innocent child
Sometimes I feel like a adult going wild
I have always turned to you
You always helped me through

Like I am going through a maze
With just one little picture
Of a sunset running away
Through all my days

I will always remember you
With all the days we went through
Just because we arent that close
Doesnt mean we can't get the most

Now I must change my ways
And act like you
To help other people through
All there problems will go away
Because you were there that one day

* Note * : Thanks Hannah for sending this! It's sweet! Made me smile!

Mary

Written By Loren Heath

Mary is mysterious, in many different ways
Wondering, waiting to hear, what she will tell me today
Her words are always kind, gentle and sweet
Her observation of life, is positive and neat

I always go to Mary's Mystic Realm,
A dream world that can open doors to endless tranquility
Where I can think, wonder and dream
and nothing is there to bother me.

I wish that more people were like Mary,
Unlike the hatred that is in the world today
If we try to change our ways about life,
It will be our better day.

* Note * : Loren just e-mailed me one day with his beautiful poetry and I thought it was sweet that he wrote one especially for me. *Smile* Thanks, Loren.

Jesus Within Mary

Written By Loren Heath

The other day I saw a waterlilly
growing in the pond
It Had the purest yellow I'd ever seen
unconcerned about the weather
anyone noticed it's astounding beauty

As I sat there watching it unfold
its petals noislessly
I thought of Mary pregnant with Jesus
she too, was a precious treasure
Unconcerned about the weather
Anyone noticed her astounding beauty

But to those who did, she saw a secret
her beauty came not from herself,
but from the life of Jesus inside her
Unfolding its petals noiselessly

* Note * : Thanks Loren for this poem. I'm sorry that I didn't post it earlier. *Smile*

First Love

Written By Anonymous Poet

When I think of you, my heart skips a beat.
When I look at you, the clouds hold my feet.
You are like no one I've ever met before.
After all this time, I still want you more.

I've never known a love like this.
I've never known such joyful bliss.
I never knew love could be so real.
I never knew I was able to feel.

Now that I know you have taught me everything you know,
I hope that you stay, and never ever go.
Most of all, I LOVE YOU more than words can express,
And I can't imagine ever loving you less.

Untitled

Written By Moazam Rauf

For all the times we've spend together
For all those smiles we've shared
I write for all those times of pleasure
I write to find that treasure

Do you remember when I held your hand
Do you remember when we shared all the jokes
Don't know if you remember all those times
Don't know where are all those time lost

Now that I need you more then ever
Now you are so far from me, like forever
I wrote to tell you that I miss you
I wrote to tell you that I still love you

* Note * : Thanks Moazam, for sending your terrific work to me!

Exceptionally Beautiful Woman

Written By Anonymous Poet

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
Must be seen within her yes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole.
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
With passing years - only grows!
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!

An Angel in Your Pocket

Written By Ginny Ellis

I am a tiny angel...
I'm smaller than your thumb;
I live in people's pockets,
That's where I have my fun.
I don't suppose you've seen me,
I'm too tiny to detect;
Though I'm with you all the time,
I doubt we've ever met.
Before I was an Angel...
I was a fairy in a flower;
God, Himself, hand-picked me,
And gave me Angel power.
Now God has many Angels
That He trains in Angel pools;
We become His eyes, and ears, and hands..
We become His special tools.
And because God is so busy,
With way too much to do;
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you.
When he tucked me in your pocket,
He blessed you with Angel care;
Then told me never to leave you,
And I vowed always to be there!
