Poems for Grieving Parents by Samantha Wilson (best young adult book series txt) 📕

wanted her to be.

She was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though she is in Heaven
she isn't very far.

She touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held her every minute
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the Heavens up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send her all my love.

Not to Long
I didn't love you very long
but I loved you from the start
the moment I saw the line
I knew you could break my heart
I could not dwell too much
on what that line would do
my life would be forever changed
that much I thought I knew
Life went on as life always does
and though deep down I had my fears
I prayed to God that things be ok
and in 9 months you would be here
When they told me you were gone
I felt like perhaps Id always known
but it didn't stop me wishing
for what the screen hadn't shown
And it didn't stop my heart
from breaking that black day
my hopes and dreams all dashed for you
It wasn't meant to be this way
And so without my wanting it
you went to a castle in the sky
where babies play with baby toys
that money can not buy
And I am left here wanting you
and trying to trust and understand
that the lord has a plan for me
and to have faith in his loving hand
But at times it is so hard
when all I want is YOU
and everything you represented
all the things we'll never do
Its times like this I must believe
although it feels like
it will never be ok
that I WILL have a baby here ,
and i'll hold them close one day
My angel baby knows whats best
and I know he will help God find
the perfect little soul for me
in body heart and mind
And when its time for the baby
to come and join us here
My angel will say goodbye for now
and kiss them with a tear
he will love his precious sibling briefly
but with all that he is worth ...
and then he'll send him down with a loving whisper
for my mum to love ....on earth

Whispers from Heaven
They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.
I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you’s, left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.
For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.
An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.

As I look down from heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more grief than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.
The joy I’ve found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
The love that’s so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining
There’s no storm clouds here or rain
There’s no teardrops found in heaven
There’s no suffering, there’s no pain.
You needn’t be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we’ll be together
One bright and glorious day.
So my love, you shouldn’t question
My dear you need not cry
I’ve gone to be with Jesus
I really didn’t die.

My Child Has Been Set Free
children hold a special bond
That nothing can replace
Their smiles can chase the blues away
And brighten up a face.
Joys we’ve known, a special day
Shared between us two
Secret talks and peaceful walks
Just to name a few.
Times of reminiscing
The day you learned to crawl
Looking through the photos
I’ve always kept them all.
But one sad day, the phone did ring
It tore my world in two
A voice came on the other end
“I have bad news for you.”
The precious child, I loved so much
Was quickly leaving me
So many things we might have known
Will never come to be.
Thoughts of them are everywhere
I cannot let her/him go
But somewhere up in heaven
A star does softly glow.
they see a Joy unknown to me
Her/his face is full of Light
They walk into the Promised Land
God holds her hand so tight.
Just as the shifting sands of time
Flows gently out to sea
Here today and gone tomorrow
My child has been set free.

Pennies from Heaven
I found a penny today Just laying on the ground, But it's not just a penny this little coin I've found. Found pennies come from heaven that’s what my Grandpa told me, He said Angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an Angel misses you They toss a penny down, Sometimes just to cheer you up To make a smile out of your frown. So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue, It may be a penny from heaven That an Angel’s tossed to you.

I went to a Party Mom
'I went to a party, Mom 'I went to a party, and remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom so I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself, the way you said I would, that I didn't drink and drive, though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice, and your advice to me was right as the party finally ended, and the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, sure to get home in one piece, I never knew what was coming, Mom something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say, 'The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, 'Mom, His voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me, as I try hard not to cry. I can hear the paramedic say, 'This girl is going to die.'
I'm sure the guy had no idea, while he was flying high, because he chose to drink and drive, now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mom knowing that it ruins lives? And now the pain is cutting me, like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom tell daddy to be brave, and when I go to heaven, put 'Daddy's Girl' on my grave.
Someone should have taught him, that its wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom I’m getting really scared. These are my final moments, and I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom, as I lie here and die. I wish that I could say I love you, Mom So I love you and good-bye.
