Poem Dedicated to Desiree Liege

This poem is dedicated to my grandbaby, We lost last May 16 1997. She will be my Angel for the rest of my life. My son's mother-in-law wrote this poem and what more can I say is thank you very much and it means the world to use.

MY LITTLE ANGEL

You came to us on a warm spring day.
But God decided that you couldn’t stay.
It’s not your time my little one.
To open your eyes, to look at the sun.

He needs you to stay, with him for a while.
To watch you play, to see your sweet smile.

I’ll never forget you, in my heart you will be.
And no one can ever take that from me.

So be good my little angel and please don’t cry.
Because grandma will never say goodbye.
Together forever, You and I.

My daughter-in-law to be wrote this beautiful poem just for me. I throught I would share this with my cyber friends.

Do You Believe!!

Do you believe in angels
That are sent from up above,
The kind that you through your life
And shower you with love?

Do you believe in angels
That never take a break,
That keep you safe from harm
Each moment you're awake?

Do you believe in angels
That are waiting to appear,
At just the right time,
That long to hold you near?

Do you believe in angels
That take you by the hand,
And walk along beside you
Until you reach the promise land?

Do you believe in angels
That grow close to your heart,
And nothing in the world
Could tear that love apart?

Do you believe in angels
Who are poeple in disguise,
And every time you look
You see Heaven in their eyes?

Do you believe in angels
Who suffer when you grieve,
And feel all your emotions?
Yes, I believe!!!

The Vision

As I was driving home the other day, I looked at the sky
And it was as if the heavens had been blessed with the
Sweetest cotton candies.
I noticed the innocence of the children
As they were hard at play.
Birds of every breed were singing in harmony,
And the meadow...well the meadow was the greenest,
Green ever as it nurtured the sweetest Baby's Breath.
Then I realized that in the back of this vision
Was an image of you, my Children.
Though we were apart at that moment, still...
It was your spirit coloring my world.
I was overwhelmed.
My heart was missing you and my soul was missing you.
Then it dawned on me, you are my world,
Life just wouldn't be Life without you.

To My Friend

Of all the people in my life,
From beginning to the end.
You’ve been a special blessing,
My dear and faithful friend.
You’ve filled my life with laughter,
Shared sorrows, joys and tears.
You’ve stood by me and held my hand,
Walked with me through the years.
When I needed someone to listen,
I knew you would always be there.
When I weathered the storms of life.
You were always the one who cared.
So in this circle we call life.
From beginning to the end.
I was blessed to have you beside me,
My dear and faithful friend.

Dedicated To Doug

" Laurie's Dad"

I can see you standing
straight and tall.
You picked her up when
she would fall.

You didn't agree with all
the things that she did.
But you know, that she
was just a kid.

You stood beside her through
right or wrong.
Your strength is what kept
her growing strong.

She grew up real nice how
proud you would be.
You would tell people"well,
She's just like me".

I didn't know you but I
sure wish I did.
Because you raised one "Hell"
of a kid.

Dedicated To Laurie, with love from Charlotte Passed away January 17, 1996

From Daddy's " Little Girl"

So many things that were unsaid, I think as I lay awake in bed.
And the tears stream down my face; for one like you no one can replace.
It all happened so very fast and I only wish I could erase the past.
Because I miss you so very much and crave for just one last touch.
Just being able to have you near; was something so very dear.
I think of you all the time and for your presence I often pine.
If you asked for my help today, I would do so in such a way,
that came with no complaining because hard jobs are now left remaining.
Time seems to go so fast on the clock when trying to get over the shock,
but I will never ever forget being daddy's "Little Pet."
In my memory, thank God, you are here, because I knew you as my peer.
I could come to you,I knew, and you always knew what to do.
Whether the problems were big or small, you helped me with them all.
And for this I loved you dearly and truly miss you sincerely.
In my heart, you are still near and in my mind your face is clear.
But dad, after you had gone I honestly didn't know how to go on.
I do think things happen for a reason and I see change in every season.
I seem to grow more like you everyday and do things in your similar way.
But there are still no words that can ever explain, how very lost I do remain.
The family has lost a big part, of what was the motor in all of our hearts.

Dedicated To My Daddy, with all my love

My Mother

A Mother is someone we all need today,
She says and does things in her own special way.
She comforts and cares when you're sick or blue,
Her little deeds that say " I Love You."
When you're all alone, she's always there.
She shows you her love when you think no one cares.
She understands thing when no one else could.
If she could give you the world, she certainly would.
So when I think of a Mother I have like you,
Of the good you have done, and the good you will do,
I would never trade you, I think you should know,
Because you're my Mom, and I love you so.

Dedicated To My Mom, with all my love

My Mother or My Friend

Mother-always lends an ear to listen.
Friend-never turns away because of something said.

Mother-always giving away a piece of her heart.
Friend-never looses the love that she holds.

Mother-always forgiving the wrongs that are done.
Friend-never rejects an attempt for what's right.

Mother-always holding out a hand to hold.
Friend-never letting go even when slipping apart.

Mother-always willing to give everything possible.
Friend-never refusing to help even when one is unable to ask.

Mother or Friend? Friend or Mother?
Not one or the other; not choosing one of the two.
My Mother is my Friend; and my Friend is my Mother.

Dedicated To My Mom, with all my love

To Isaiah

Have you ever been afraid
to open up to someone and
let them in your life to
heal all that's been done?

You see, these walls I have around me
have been stacked and carefully lain
by the ones who took advantage
and have caused me so much pain.

I'm afraid of being loved
and then getting hurt again,
but how can I fight a feeling
when I'm sure I can not win.

But now you've come along tearing
the walls down once again.
Now I'm not so afraid to give
up and let love win.

My guards are slowly falling
each time you pull me near
and I wonder if I could find
the love I'm needing here.

Here in your heart
your feeling in disguise.
Can you see my feelings
when you look into my eyes?

It's like you see the emotions
that I keep locked up deep inside.
I think you can see right through me,
I think you can read my mind.

I don't have to say a thing
for the words that are hard to find.
You know exactly how I feel
when you look into my eyes.

I've been holding on to a
fairy-tale wanting nothing more.
Now I have you and you're
all I've been waiting for.

So, if it ever seens like there's
something I'm needing to say
please know that I am trying
to tell you in some way.

It may not be by words
that are meant to mezmorize.
Just take me by my hand
and look into my eyes.

Dedicated To My Son, From Tiffanie Carol

To Isaiah

There are many things around me
That bring my thoughts to you
And everything about you
Makes me love you true.

Like a cool spring breeze,
You send chills down my spine.
When your hands meet my skin
It happens every time,

And every time the morning dew
Kisses each flower at dawn,
I think about your kiss
That keeps me going all day long.

When I see the rising sun,
I think of your comforting eyes,
And just every morning you
Bring brightness in my life.

I think of your warm smile
On a hot summer day,
They both take away my breath
And bring refreshment on the way.

When the evening sunset
Fades into the sky.
I think of your loving heart
And it makes me want to cry.

When I'm wrapped up in your arms
And I see the stars above,
I know everything is in place
And all is filled with love.

When the midnight moon
Sends down it's peacefull glow,
I wonder how I found
Love to grow with in my soul.

A cool spring breeze,
Morning dew on the way,
A rising sun,
A warm summer day,

An evening sunset,
With the stars above,
A midnight moon,
And a lot of LOVE.

Dedicated To My Son Isaiah, From Tiffanie with all my love.
