More than Memories

Posted on 10 May 2019 by poeticjourney

They quick to say you’ll have memories
I don’t want the memories
I want you here with us.
Maybe im been selfish.
But I don’t care.
What are memories?
When you can pick up the phone to tell them
You love them.
When you can hug them.
And hear their laughter.
All I have is memories
I need more.
I want more.
More time.
I’m not ready to say goodbye
Memories aren’t enough
I just need
No, I just want
More time.

More of my feelings and emotions. I lost my Godma. Guess I should be lucky/bless I had her as long as I did. Almost shared my age. It’s nothing like having them here with us. Make sure let your loved ones know you love them.

Preparing

Posted on 22 Feb 2016 by poeticjourney

To say goodbye….
Its heartbreaking…
To hear you have lost…
The will to fight…
You have refuse to even…
Try…
I hear they are bringing in reinforcers
as last resort….
To hear you lose…
Who you use to be…
Breaks my mother’s…
Heart. .
Preparing…
To not have you here…
Anymore is heartbreaking….
You was the woman to keep the…
Family together….
Today…
We got the call…
You coded…
The burden became too much. .
My God….
I thought you would be here …
A little longer….
Me and my mom…
Was just talking…
About you and how the old you
we thought returned…
But God needed you more…
Preparing is no more…
Death is all around me…

I bn working on dis poem for a few days. I didn’t know how to finish it and I honestly thought I had plenty time to finish it before she pass. No matter how often you think you may have more time with a love one. You need to let them know how you feel. Tomorrow isn’t promise to anyone, no even a second, minute. Tonight I find out I lost a family member as well. So the poem hits me even harder then before

Year almost over and got me thinking

of different conversation we had, and

ones that were never said for whatever reason.

Maybe we should’ve just left things the way it was from get go.

Maybe not, who knows?

Only GOD!

It’s been a minute since I heard your

voice, I was scrolling thru phone for

song to sleep to, and you waltz in my

thoughts, and what the different songs

mean to me.

I do miss you, but must of all I pray you

well, happy.

Time to let things go for good and I see

that more now then ever.

I hope dis reach you in good spirit,

cause I’m not sure what it doing to me.
Happy Holidays and for last time, I love

you and goodbye…

Why?

Posted on 2 Dec 201111 Jan 2012 by poeticjourney

I have unanswered questions

Why I didn’t walk down
The hall to see her?
Part of me felt like I
Had more time to
Spend with her.
The other part hated to
Feel trap around people’s
Who were breaking down
Why
It took me forever to mourn
The day I cried, broke me
I had to take my S off and
Lay it down because she survive
More than me!
She fought a good fight
That’s Why GOD call her home
I’m struggling because
Death find me.
My prayers to the ones who
Lost someone before my day
Came!
Why?
Wasnt I shock that God came
And took her.
I watch and heard her give up!
The doctors gave up on her
Why?
I’m learning to grieve
But not sure if I can say
Goodbye the right way
This weekend!
Why?
They going all out?
She cant see it,
I’m sorry I don’t agree
You show them love
While they alive
So many unanswered questions but seem like I got
the answers deep down

Posted on 21 Oct 201111 Jan 2012 by poeticjourney

to heartbreaking news.

Cuts me deep….

I return..

to some heartbreaking news…

I can’t even ask God Why?

Because I know Why..

It was your time…

I know your wife is having

a rough time..

I pray she stay strong..

and never forget just how

much a Blessing You truly

Was..

The Day I read the notice..

It broke my heart..

to find out you had..

tumor..

My God..

I…

Wonder where you in pain..

Did you get a chance..

to let all your love’s one

know you love them…

Did they get that chance…

to say Goodbye..

to beautiful soul like yourself…

I wish I had made it back in time..

to say Goodbye too a dear friend…

Coming Back..

And feeling like these…

when its…

little to late and you gone..

I pray you R.I.P

Saying Goodbye

Posted on 8 Jul 201113 Oct 2011 by poeticjourney

Classes just started once again, I thought It would be different these time around, but losing a love one, is making it rough for me to enjoy it. I knew the day was coming, but we had got good news that she was doing better and the doctor wouldn’t pull the plug.

Time to say Goodbye.

once again

You Gone but never

forgotten.

I pray the family

can stand strong..

I can’t pray for

no more pain.

We have to go

thru some.

No Pain..

No Gain..

I’m glad I had

chance to see

you one last time…

You was doing good

and looking good.

I hate it went that

long..

without seen

you or hearing

your voice.

I’m staying ..

strong..

We knew it was coming,

but we got word you

was doing better.

So Your death came

as a shock in more

ways then once.

Saying Goodbye..

Auntie You’ll Be Miss…
