Emotions of loss
Emptiness, sadness hollow like eggs
Siblings once close, now far from near
Orphaned by nature, like a hurricane it hit
News like a howling wind
Destruction its path
Sympathy and condolences
Its what every one expects
Ears shut down, I don't want to hear
Child have faith she's watching from above
Words of comfort, yet how do they know?
Is there a ladder to heaven for adults alone
Mother if there is then please climb down
Like jack and the bean stalk
We will then cut it down

Jigsaw of life
Square peice of sorrow
Round peice of happiness
Diamond peice of faith
Jagged peice of hate
Oblong peice of hope
Stepping stones
Peices of paper
Wooden blocks
Many roads to wander
Many turns to take
Many mistakes to ponder
Many joys to shed tears
Sorrow, happiness, hate, faith and hope
Fit together at times
Easier than others
Patience they say
Will win at the end of the day

Wedding Day without a mother
Beautifull dresses hang in the closet
A long veil, that sparkles your wedding is here
pure joy, happiness, laughter and excitement
A childs dream, mother so proud
Tears, sadness, sorrow and emptiness
Thats what i feel, alone on this day
For mother your not here
Yet as i get ready, a soft touch on my hand
Mother is that you, patting my hand
reassurance, inner glow, warmth fills my soul
Angel from above i feel your love
Standing so tall with strength for this show
Mother you are near, i need not of feared

Little Sister
I never really new you, as you left when i was two
So sad, I can not even picture you
God had other plans for you
I guess he needed you
Imagine the things we could of done,
Played skipping rope, hand ball and netball to
Being older I would of won of cource
Even though there are four of us still here
The fifth is still very near
Little sister you will always be a part of us
God always takes the best
Heh you didnt have to win that quest
But for now, my little sister
In heaven, an angel sits and waits for me
Lets play these games now
The winner is best out of three

Ageing father
Golden hair, yet eyes so dull
Kinda sucks growing old
Remembering things i used to do
Only then can I rid these blues
Life is great when you are young
People respect you, and life is fun
As you age, respect gets less
what happend have i became a debt
I used to bounce you on my knee
Care for you when you were three
Through your teens, i loved how you beamed
When you were twenty, my life got empty
Marriage for you, a life so new
children of your own to love
I never minded, you there mum
All i wanted was respect and love
