Father’s Death

The pain is raw, the wound is deep

The loss is great, I can’t even sleep

I miss your voice, I miss your touch

I miss your laugh, I miss you so much

The tears fall down, they never cease

The hurt is real, it won’t release

I wish you were here, to hold my hand

To guide me through, to understand

The memories fade, but the love remains

It fills my heart, it eases the pains

I’ll hold you close, in my thoughts and my dreams

I’ll cherish the love, that’s forever gleams

You may be gone, but you’ll never be forgotten

In my heart you live, and in my love you’re cottoned

I’ll carry on, with your strength and your grace

I’ll honor you always, in my own special way

Poem on Family Reunion

The family reunion, a time to come together
To laugh and to love, in all kinds of weather
To share old stories, and make new memories
To embrace and to hug, and to be at ease

The family reunion, a time to catch up
To hear all the news, and to fill the cup
To reconnect and to bond, and to feel whole
To be surrounded by love, and to feel at home

The family reunion, a time to be grateful
For all the blessings, that life has given us
To appreciate each other, and to forgive
To make amends, and to let love live

The family reunion, a time to be thankful
For all the love, that surrounds us so ample
To be grateful for family, and to be proud
To celebrate the bond, and to shout it loud
