I was inspired to write this poem when my grandmother died of leukemia in 1991. Now, it has even more meaning as I am trying to cope with the loss of my father in 1999 to pancreatic cancer. I miss both of them very much and even though they are gone, my love is never-ending. This is dedicated to my "Granny" and of course, my daddy~from your little girl... Missing You Always by angelRN2001 It seems like just yesterday that you had to go away. I guess I never will know why And I never really said goodbye. I still can picture your amazing smile It made a bad day seem so worthwhile. Living without you for all these years I find it hard to hold back tears. I wish I could visit you, And do things we used to do Could help to ease some of the pain Until someday when I see you again. It is so difficult to describe How I am feeling inside. I hope that you can hear me when I say That I love you and am missing you always. |

a lovely dedication to two close people that you have lost. I sure that where ver in Heaven they are they are smiling at your beautiful words. I still can picture your amazing smile It made a bad day seem so worthwhile. Living without you for all these years I find it hard to hold back tears. wonderful poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) "Life has been unfaithful And it all promised so so much I am a relic I am just a petrified cry Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir The applause nails down my silence La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I see liberals I am just a fashion accessory People send postcards And they all hope I'm feeling well I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy Where they patronise my misery La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks The sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay |

This is wonderful writing. Made me cry...literally! My dad died of pancreatic cancer in 1965 and I always remember his smile and how it felt to be lifted above his head to see the stars better. Thanks for the memories. MBlue |

Oh, how sad and heart-wrenching this is. I know how you feel....always hard to lose a loved one. My mom died eight years ago today...still miss her terribly. You just have to try and pass on to others what you have learned from them. Those memories are precious and should be cherished...always. Great writing and welcome to Passions.
