Goodbye Daddy

redrose66 /  August 10, 2015 / Poems / Life Happens

Many Milestones Walked, Many Voices Talked.

Many Paths Crossed, Many Spirits Lost.

Many Places Traveled, Many Stories Unraveled.

Many Wives Bound, Many Young Around.

Many Years of Service taken in Stride, Many Americans taking Pride.

Many Lives Encountered, Many Hearts Shattered.

Many Smiles Cared, Many Memories Shared.

Many Times I mowed your lawn Up, Many Cups of Coffee & Donuts.

Many Hours of Computer Lessons, Many Celebrations of Special Occasions.

Many Times we raised our Glasses, Many Times we laughed our Asses.

Many Health Challenges, Many Caused Damages.

Many Cures were Searched, Many Hopes of more time on Earth.

Many Treatments Had, Many Days were Sad.

Many Years of Joy, Many Cells Destroyed.

Many Times I have Prayed., Many Times he was Brave.

Many will be Glad to Know, Many Pains have ceased to Show.

Many Words Unspoken, Many Hearts now Broken.

Many Pains Felt, Many Ways Dealt.

Many Prayers Spoken, Many Tears Approaching.

Many Years now gone Alarms, Many Angels with open Arms.

Many Thanks and Praises from Above, Many Visits from White Doves.

Many will cry because he’s Gone, Many will have to remain Strong.

Many just want to say Goodbye, Many will find it difficult to Try.

Many will be Sad, Many for Love they Had.

Many will feel Reprieved, Many through all this Grief.

 Many words I can never Say, Many will Know & Feel as I do Today.

Many when they Hear these last Words if I May?

“GOODBYE DADDY, I LOVE YOU, & I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY”!

Love, your youngest daughter,

 Josephine Carol (Force) Rojas

 IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY FATHER,

                        DAD OLD MOTORCYCLE    the old man

Sad But True

redrose66 / July 15, 2015 / Poems

Love is Genuine, Love True

Love is Suppose to be Forever,” I LOVE YOU”.

Unconditional without Tarnish,

Blemish, Without Diminish.

Understanding and Honesty

Truth and Clarity,

Sharing Lives under an umbrella of Sincerity.

Unbreakable Seal

Burst apart from an earlier Ordeal.

Feeling the heart Shatter

Love apparently doesn’t Matter.

With someone from the past there’s no Competition

Not even if there’s Superstition.

The love thought to have Bonding

Is nothing more than Fonding,

For the heart has been Taught

To block all that could be Harming.

No matter how hard she Tries

Whether they’re married or Nye,

The original love is the one that Survives.

It’s sad but True

As she always in her heart Knew,

His love for her is surface Steep

But the love for his first is forever Deep.

Release of Burden

redrose66 / July 2, 2015 / Poems

EYES MEET

FEELING HEAT

TENDER PASSION

DESIRES OF COMPASSION

LOVE BLOSSOMS

   BUTTERFLIES AWESOME

FLUTTERING NOURISHING

FLOWERS FLOURISHING

FLOATING PETALS

NATURE NESTLES

 WITH POLLENS OF SCENT

ATTRACTION OF TWO MEANT

THE BOND IS BOUND

WITH RINGS OF ROUND

YEARS OF JOY AND BONDING

UNEXPECTED ILLNESS SPAWNING

FINANCIAL CHALLENGES

HEALTH TO SALVAGE

CONSTANT DECLINE

WILL ALWAYS DEFINE

EMOTIONS HE ONCE HAD

ARE REPLACED WITH ONLY SAD

FEELINGS OF GUILT SHE HAS BEARED

KNOWING HER ILLNESS HAD WEARED

MENTIONS WITHOUT ANY SPECIFICS

SHE UNDERSTANDS HER POSITION

TO LIBERATE HIS HEART

HER EXISTANCE MUST SUBVERT

 THE BURDENS SHE BARED

ARE NO LONGER SHARED

THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED

FOR SHE TOOK HER LIFE

ON THE TABLE BESIDE

WHERE HER BODY LIED

WAS A NOTE

SHE WROTE:

“OUR LOVE WAS TRUE

BUT I ALWAYS KNEW

THE DAY WOULD ARRIVE

SO I HAD TO ABIDE MY TIME

THE BURDEN I BARED

I WISHED NOT TO SHARE

BECAUSE TIME IS PRECIOUS

AND ALWAYS MOMENTOUS

I WANTED YOU TO REMEMBER

OUR LOVE TOGETHER

BEFORE THE UNWILLINGNESS

OF THE ILLNESS

PICTURE BUTTERFLIES

AND BIRDS AS THEY FLY BY

THOUGHTS OF WHEN

WE’RE TOGETHER AGAIN”
