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…

Falling Soldier

Posted on 16 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

I came across a friend’s facebook page

Which is dedicated to him?

My heart was broken as the tears

Roll down my face.

All I could remember was

The fun and good times we

Had in High School

Every time we saw each other

In the hallway he would hug me

Falling Soldier

He lost his leg fighting for us

They gave him a purple

Heart.

He returns home a different man

It’s been over a year since he left us.

I’m missing him every day

The day of the news crush me

I find out on facebook.

I had to make sure they was talking

About the same guy I grew

Up with.

~Crying Now~

I know God had to call him home

It was his time.

It just hurt so many people

And broke their hearts.

A mom still in mourning

A sister still longing for

A hug from big brother

A little brother

Lost without his brother

Anymore.

~Falling Soldier~

I miss you

Wish you was still here

On EARTH with us

You’ll always be in my heart.

I’m longing for one of your hugs

Wish I had said goodbye the

Correct way.

I wasn’t ready to say bye

I know recently Veteran Day pass and I was in the hospital so I’m dedicating the poem. Right now I’m speechless so I can’t really say much. Took a lot to write and actually took a lot out of me to share. I’m so THANKFUL for the men and women who FIGHT for us. Many Blessings 2 Them God Bless 🙂
