Daves 2018 Poems

2018 - 11 POEMS

Everybody deals with grief differently.

When you are feeling sad and unhappy,
Full of pain, anger and sorrow,
When you just want to get through today,
To try and make a fresh start tomorrow.

Bereavement and grief can affect you,
Your emotions can make you go crazy,
Day to day living is a chore,
And from one to another is hazy.

Everybody deals with grief differently,
Some people are hard right to the core,
Whilst others are very sensitive,
And may need counselling and more.

It’s not about life’s journey we travel,
It’s about how you deal with it instead,
Don’t constantly bottle up your feelings,
And try to clear them from your head.

As Mother’s Day approaches.

As Mother’s Day approaches,

We think of the mam we love,

For those lucky please talk to them,

Sadly, many are in the heavens up above.

We will all have fond memories,

Of all the times we needed care,

We never needed to ask for it,

Mam would always be right there.

As Mother’s Day approaches,

It won’t ever be too hard,

To take a few moments out of your busy day,

And get that Special Mam a card.

We all have busy lives to live,

Don’t forget you have a true gem,

But we will only ever have one Mother,

On Mother’s Day let them know you love them !

May the lord have mercy upon us.

May the lord have mercy upon us,

No matter what our bad deeds,

No matter what our religious belief,

Nor the colour of our skin or creed.

May the lord have mercy upon us,

And forgive us all our sins,

Many are up against the world,

From the minute life begins.

May the lord have mercy upon us,

And take all the good deeds into account,

To many they will be insignificant,

But it’s what life is all about.

May the lord have mercy upon us,

No matter which is the chosen way,

For death is one certainty in life,

When it is our calling day.

Negative feelings.

Don't be angry anymore,

When you feel desperate,

Don't get mad with anyone,

Don't ever feel irate.

You bottle up your negative feelings,

You don't speak out,

But instead you go crazy,

With screams and shouts.

You are concerned about yourself,

You don't think anybody cares,

But they are unaware of your problems,

Your health issues and scares.

There is always a ear to listen,

A shoulder to cry on each day,

To give you that little bit of comfort,

Or to sit down with you and pray.

Loss throughout life

Throughout life we will ultimately,

Lose a special person in our lives,

But it hits us much harder,

When it's your partners, husbands or wives.

The intense heartache and pain,

Can really hit you so deep,

You can start to feel depressed,

And loose many hours of sleep.

The reason you're hurting,

Is because you loved them so much.

Plus you now have that void left,

By that person you can no longer touch.

Bigger consequences.

We will all need support,
More than often physical or mentally,
But we need to ask for that help,
Without giving apologies.

Nobody knows what pain you have,
Or what tough times you've had,
When you lose someone so special,
Like a mam or dad.

The stress and pain can be a start,
A neurological change and a trigger,
Which will often result in more consequences,
And turn into something much bigger.

So often people find it difficult,
Many months after their loved ones have deceased,
And turns them into a different person,
When from nowhere comes a beast.

Open mind.

Disheartened.

I can’t help feeling saddened,

Feeling emotional and drained,

When the words are passed to me,

After their suffering and pain.

Loss after a sudden death,

Or a short illness,

Can leave so much heartache,

And so much of a mess.

As legal issues are being resolved,

Anger filled arguments ensue,

Without any thought of the heartache,

Or the pain and stress it’s causing you.

Your loved ones would be disheartened,

Really upset and distraught,

Because of these selfless mannerisms,

Are not what you were all taught.

Like a wilting flower.

Like a wilting flower losing petals,

We will be left with just the stem,

As their soul departs their physical body,

We think of our memories of them.

Their soul will gracefully leave their human forms,

Making their way to the pearly gate,

To meet again with their departed loved ones,

Without no malice of love or hate.

In death we mourn them,

Each and every day.

At times of heartache and pain,

Together we will all pray.

In solitude we can relax,

Although we are all heartbroken together,

In the comfort they are now at peace,

And with their beloved forever.

Life’s ripples.

From minor movements,

There are ripples on the waters top,

A part of nature’s magic,

Which is hard to stop.

Just like a pebble in a pond,

The momentum continues on,

Like the heartache felt after a loss,

And your loved one has now gone.

Life takes us through many ripples,

Some we can just ride.

But those who cannot cope,

Try to put them to one side.

If you are feeling down and troubled,

Speak to a colleague or friend,

To help you through the hard times,

So life’s ripples can then end.

There is nothing like a mother’s love. ( 2018 version )

There is nothing like a mother’s love,

To comfort you each day,

They will always be your mother,

Even if they are far away.

A mother will nurture you,

From the time you are conceived,

Once you feel the motherly love,

You will never want to leave.

Through life we have our ups and downs

And your mother will always care,

Because you will always feel her love,

Even when she is not there.

In times of heartache and trouble,

Think of your mother’s love,

Because she will always be there with you,

Whilst in the heavens above.

God Bless !
