This page consists of poems that I have shared in my emails when announcing a new addition to the blog. Most of them will be from the updates I sentout but a few will be from the website itself. will be a few from the website itself. I am not sure when I started sending a poem with each new addition to the blog, but I will pick out some that are most relevant to me, and over the next few months I will be adding them.
The first poem I chose to share here is the first one I placed on the website. It was called “Speak Their Name”. To this day, it still touches my heart every time I read it. It still means the world to me, when someone brings up memories of Connie as it makes my heart jump with joy.
SPEAK THEIR NAME
Someone I love has gone away
And life is not the same
The greatest gift you can give
Is to just speak their name
I need to hear the stories
And the tales of days gone past
I need for you to understand
These memories must last
We cannot make more memories
Since they are no longer here
So when you speak of them to me
It music to my ear
The second poem also comes from the opening page of the blog “Why Am I”. I am here to tell our story, to share the love that we had. It does not matter how many new people I meet, if they know me they know Connie as I always share memories of her. She was part of me and always will be. I am the rememberer.
WHY AM I.
Why am I still on this earth!!
To water the flowers of our love.
To Tell our Story,
To be the one that keeps your memory alive
To make sure that while I remember you,
All who I meet will remember you with me.
As long as I am alive part of you is here.
As long as you are not here part of me is not here
Yet I am the remenberer
That will have to be enough for now.

This was the poem I used for the 50th edition of the blog. This poem to me represents my hope for the future and the ability to continue without the love of my life being present. I know she is always with me in spirit and her spirit will see me through the tough times
Arms Of An Angel
You rest in the arms of angels
In a place of peace and love
Watching over me always
From heaven above
You guides me through my wories
And helps me each day
Alway by my side
As if you never went away
Our bond cannot be broken
Made from love so pure
Death did not break the bond
It live on for ever more
You rest in the arm of angels
Free from illness and pain
Waiting for the day
We are together once again
John F. Connors
I chose this poem that was sent to me by Lizzie because it still represents what I feel. In my time of need, I just need to think of her and imagine she is still here and it brings me so much comfort, knowing I have an advocate in her. She’s still here, her spirit continues to uplift me and bring me joy
When I Go
When I go don’t learn to live without me
just learn to live with my love
in a different way
And if you need to see me
close your eyes
or look in your shadow
when the sun shines
I’m there
Sit with me in the quiet
and you will know
that I did not leave
There is no leaving
when one soul is blonded
with another
When I go
don’t learn to live without me
just learn to look for me
in the moment
I will be there
