The Request:
It would be to my 3-year-old son that passed away in an auto accident. How his mom, both families, and I miss him. His name is Jacob. He was proud of me going to fire school. He loved the outdoors, especially going out on the four wheelers. His mom and I were divorced at the time, but still did a lot together with him. His mom had just picked him up from my house the day of the accident. I did tell him I love him and remember our last hug. He loved to go to church. We are Christians. The occasion, I would think, would be death or missing him.
My Little Angel
Requested by J.R.
I shared an angel for a while, but not for very long.
You see, I knew you needed love and I am never wrong.
The joy he brought to you will stay within your very soul
Until I bring you home to Me. His virtues you’ll extol
To anyone expressing their condolences to you.
An angel, such as Jacob, was my gift; so rare and true.
Do not begrudge his time which was allotted from the start.
It was within My plan though I knew it would wound your heart.
I needed him, here by My side. I choose the very best,
As I picked you to be his mom, but now he is at rest
Within My arms, where he belongs for all eternity.
So let me bear your pain and loss, bring all your hurt to Me.
He’ll watch your steps through every day or while you are asleep,
And with his tiny angel’s wings, dry all the tears you weep.
In memories held in your heart, you’ll always hear him say,
“I love you Mommy, please don’t cry.” “God carried me away.”
The Thank You:
Thank you so much for the poem. It really means a lot to me to have someone give this gift. I'll make a point to give this to Tina tomorrow. Again, thank you! GOD BLESS!
The Request: I sent two poems to J.R. and Tina on the loss of their little boy Jacob.
Dear Jacob
Requested by J.R.
Dear Jacob, no words known to man could exist
Expressing our loss or how much you are missed.
The emptiness covers each day of our lives
With darkness, one wonders how any survives
This grief or the tears which flow freely each day
We ask God for help every night when we pray,
We know you are with Him in Heaven above.
But can’t keep from wishing we still had your love.
The hugs which you gave us when you said goodbye
Thank God for your last one each night as I cry
Our dreams and our plans, that we had, are denied
The great big fire engine you never will ride
Our four wheeler trips as you laughed at the wind
The blessings you brought us are now at an end
What’s left are the memories which we can share
In hearts you still live and you’ll always be there.
The Thank You:
Larry, Thank you very much again for the poem for Jacob. Reading it brought tears to my eyes. you really hit the spot. I know what I gave you to work on wasn’t much but you did great! This accident happened as I was going through fire school. the only reason I finished school was because it was one of the biggest things that seemed to make him proud of me. Today, I’m glad I finished school. I have been working with a fire-rescue department now in Florida, and, love the work. It is still hard when you have those calls where there are children involved, but I feel like now I can help. Thanks again.
Sincerely, J.R. S.
The Request:
Larry, Hello, how are you? My name is JR. A while back, you wrote a poem for me for my 3-year-old son that passed away. I was hoping that maybe you would write one more for me. I would greatly appreciate it. His birthday is coming up and I would like to put an ad in the paper with a picture and a poem. I am now in my third year going on fourth in fire rescue, something that he loved. The other day my daughter was asleep in my bed when I remembered laying there with my son Jacob sharing the same pillow smelling his hair. My daughters name is Ariana; she is younger than Jacob is but can recognize Jacobs face. I absolutely love having dreams of Jacob out playing having a blast. His cousins still talk about dreams they have had of him. Jacob would be 6 years old may 25th.one of his cousins, Cole is four months older than Jacob and I often watch Cole wondering what Jacob would be doing .the two of them were never apart. Cole is playing baseball now and I am sure Jacob would be as well. As I said, if you could write something for me it would be much appreciated. If you have any questions, please write. Thank you so much. JR
In Dreams
Requested by J.R.
Where would you be, had God not reached from Heaven for your soul
And left but dreams we shared of all the fun life had in store
What games would you be playing? Maybe baseball games with Cole
He plays, but still remembers you a half lifetime before
Would you be much to big to take a nap on Daddy’s bed,
So small on that big pillow where you dreamed of future days
Where Ariana sleeps, right where you used to lay your head
And I, beside her, as with you; my tears can’t quench the blaze
Of eyes that can no longer see your face until the dreams
Of you, each night, then I am blessed to see you once again
In thoughts, and in my heart is where you live, or so it seems
It’s all I have, dear Jacob, but it can not ease the pain
So much is lost, without you here, especially this day
Of your sweet birth, no longer celebrated, but in prayer
I keep your memory within my aching soul to stay
And hope, when life is done upon this earth, I’ll see you there.
The Request:
I would like to tell him how much he means to me its been two months now that we have been together and I have had some really bad relationships before I met him. He works really long hours and I miss him terribly just want him to know how much of a difference he has made to my life. His name is Denis.
New Love
Requested by Sherry
The misery and pain I thought
Comprised this thing that’s known as love
And all relationships were fraught
With heated words; with push and shove
No quarter given, just attack
Of consequence, you never think
When wrong is done to you, hit back
‘Till love and tears have made a link
Within your mind and broken heart
And final words are said in hate
Which tear that painful love apart
That’s why I thought, “Love’s not so great!”
But now, that thought is ever changed
For you have come into my life
Feelings of love are rearranged
The pain is gone, as is the strife
And you, within the briefest span
Gave care and love; brought life, serene
With you, true love begins again
You are my prince, and I your queen
Thank you. You’ve shown what love can bring.
I’m missing you before you leave.
New life, new love, new everything
You are the very air I breathe
The Request: See poem 34 for her second request for a poem for Angel.
Echoes of the Past
Requested by Mari
The echoes of my footsteps
Are the only sounds I hear
As I walk down life’s path,
Alone again, by my on choice
What was could never be.
I can not change who I am, dear,
Though I will always cherish
Memories of your sweet voice.
The times we shared were special,
Ever precious in my heart
For it is very rare to meet
An Angel such as you
But your beliefs, I could not share
And so we had to part
I wish you all the best;
Long life and happiness. I do!
And may your God watch every step
You take; your whole life through.
The Request: Okay, this poem is for Mike Farr, and this is someone who was there for me when I was on the wrong track, gave me a place to live, and at one point we were in love. I messed up with us, but I want him to know that I appreciate everything that he's done for me, and let him know that when I am alone he is still in my thoughts. I also want him to know that I wish things went differently for us, and that at times when it seemed I did not care, I truly did.
Thoughts and Wishes
Requested by Stephanie
Strong hands showed me the way and yes, gave me another chance
But I, unthinking, gave it back; unwanted or unsure
Of how I was perceived within your mind. What did you see?
Life made me doubt your motives though I found them to be pure
You took me in and gave me of yourself, even your love
But I just let it slip away without a second thought
Now, thinking back on that sweet moment of my life with you
Please know, I wish I’d taken better care of what you brought
Into my life; a special time I’ll keep within my heart
Perhaps you think I didn’t care, I did; but not enough
To stop those things I did and push you from the path I chose
I felt this world in which I live demanded I be tough
Alone, within my thoughts, I always see you standing there
With caring eyes and softest touch; if thought and wish were true
There’s nothing in this world that I could want more than one thing
To send you thanks, with all my heart; and say, “I still love you”!
The Request:
Pat and Ian Wandless, parents of three boys and 1 girl (me); 60th Birthday; What fun they had in the 60's; How much we love them
Love’s Gifts
Requested by Tracie Tirant
Long hair and bell-bottom jeans, life was so good
Rock concerts at night in the park when you could
The oldies that kids listen to were brand new
And love found its way into hearts, strong and true
It wasn’t all wonderful when you were young
The war, far away, was upon every tongue
The protests and marches were every day things
But your love survived, carried safe on fate’s wings
That love still abides and you pass it along
Each day, with your smile, even if something’s wrong
Although it’s belated, I wish and I pray
Your 60th was the best ever birthday
The Request:
It is for my fiancées birthday. He just got out of rehab, and is doing a fantastic job, even though it is hard. I just want him to know that I love him so very much and am so proud of him. He also has had a very terrible past with sexual abuse that he is just starting to remember I also want him to know that I know that he is going thru a lot but I am here for him and will always love him no matter what happened as a child
Re-Birthday
Requested by Kathy Murphy
Thank God I’ll never know that road which you have had to tread
Though bravely, with your head held high, you’ve faced old memories
Your voyage through the past well done; the pain, the fears and dread
A childhood filled with horrors, soon will fade, the hurt will ease.
My pride in your accomplishments is more than I could say
And all my love I have for you is greater than before
Please know I’ll be here for you, stand beside you all the way
No matter what was in the past, it’s you that I adore
So on this special day, my love, this token from my heart
A special poem, just for you, to tell you how I feel
I wish this birthday, and the rest will be a brand new start
Of something wonderful in life; a love that’s warm and real
I promise that my love will stand time’s cruel test, and say
That I love you with all my heart my dear, “Happy Birthday”!
The Request: Me and my boyfriend just broke up after 2 years. He needs some time to get his life together. I still love him very much. I want him to know my true feelings. His name is Fred.
For Fred
Requested by Cathy
You may have left to straighten out a life I thought was fine
And it may take so many years that you’re no longer mine
But as we go our separate paths, keep this thought in your heart
My love is here, awaiting your return so we can start
Another life together, maybe better than before
Dear one, I can but dream of ways that I could love you more
And if our paths should never cross again, you’ll always be
A big part of my life, my hopes, my dreams, and love for me
The Request: Okay, my boyfriend’s name is Anthony I love him with all of my heart and I just found out he lied to me and I don’t want to leave him. I am trying to say something to him in a poem that I love him but I don’t want no more lies because it hurts me to much. So please, can you help me? If you can thank you.
Truth
Requested by Rose
The basis of true love is so much deeper than one sees
It’s something one can never hold or touch, but must be there
Although love is professed with hopes those words of love will please
There’s something more important than the words which lovers share
That thing is truth, a trust between two people, from the start
No lies can find their way to light of day with souls laid bare
For one small lie will grow to hurt, and growing, wound the heart
Forgiveness is the balm of choice for those who really care
To make a strong relationship grow stronger every day
A broken heart from small untruths can be hard to repair
Sometimes that lie will wreck two lives, so please watch what you say
Give truth and trust with all your love to keep that gift, so rare.
The Request: Debbie, I love you so much and I do trust you with all my heart, and if you want to see people I will let you, and I’m sorry for annoying you all the time. I just want you to be happy.
Treasures
Requested by Kieran
One hides a treasure that is found and hopes no one has seen
How wonderful that treasure is; a rare possession true
But hiding it he robs the world of beauty much in need
And robs himself with selfishness and fear of loss, undue
A bird in flight is beautiful, its freedom, man extols
But that same bird within a cage is piteous to see
Release the bird and show that precious treasure to the world
And if it e’er returns then that is how it’s meant to be
You are my treasure, rare, and though I fear you’ll fly from me,
My care and love and trust is all I have to give, you see.
The Thank You:
Mate, you are a genius, we argued over something last night and that poem fits the bill perfect.
The Request: This poem is for Sean. When I was going through real hard times, he was the only one who could calm me down. We have seen our share of backstabbers, and both ran the streets for a long time. I want him to know that out of all the people, who say they care, but really don't; I will always care and be there for him. I also want him to know that I feel that if the timing was better that we could have something real special. Sean is in jail right now, so this letter/poem will, hopefully, comfort him. He needs to keep his head up, and stop surrounding himself with these "so-called friends". I want him to know that I see something in him that no one else does, and through all of this, I still have faith in him and love him like a brother, or somewhat more. I've known him for about 3 years and we have been like brother and sister, at times, more than. We gave him a place to stay, anyhow he just got out of jail about a month ago and we had planned to move to Idaho to live with his family for a while, but it didn't happen and he's back into his old bad group. I want something that will show him how much I care about him, and we share a lot of good times with music, I want him to think of who really cares for him, cause these people in the streets don't. Thanks
Sanctuary’s Sonnet
Requested by Stephanie
You’ve walked that road too many times
To still believe there’s something there
Back to false friends who lead you down
A darkened path of black despair
Down streets where none should have to tread
When looking for solace in life
That way’s a circle; vicious, mean
Death deep in hurt and painful strife
Look to a place of happiness
Where music gave you laughing eyes
A home or just a place to stay
Without pretense or schemes and lies
Though family is far away
Perhaps that trip was not to be
There’s someone close who really cares
And Sean, you know that someone’s me.
I cared before as I do now
And shall forever, this I vow.
The Request: I am 37 years old. My boyfriends name is DJ, and I have been with him for 3 yrs. I’m trying to find a poem that says a lot in not so many words. I love him with all my heart and I don’t want to loose him. He says I’m the perfect woman that every man would love to have, but yet he cant love me like I love him because, he feels he’s been through so much in life that he can feels some what black inside.(lost) My kids love him, and his kids love me. Please help me so I can let him know we can go through this together because he means that much to me. I also want you to know that this man has lied to me, over and over, and I have forgiven him. I want to let him know that in life you have to struggle for what you want, that’s if you want it that bad. My point is I don’t want to loose him. He says I showed him unconditional love. He says not even his mother loves him as I do. I know it may sound crazy to you but, I really love him and I am running out of time to convince him that, even though other people have hurt him I will never hurt him. He’s afraid this is too good to be true that in the long run I will leave him like everybody else... p.s. please help me, so I can get him to feel what I’m feeling.
Walls
Requested by Lilly
The walls are dark and hardened by too many years of pain
Much like a heart that’s scared and wounded by a troubled past
All feelings, hidden there behind those walls have gathered dust
But grief of loss and parting ways was never meant to last
For life’s a struggle, even when you’ve found that perfect one
No guarantees of happiness are given on love’s way
We all need help to make it through the wreck of fate’s design
To fight our way through wretched past, and love another day
My love’s pure light is shining bright upon that darkened wall
None else would care, forgive and wait for heart that’s slow to heal
Love given, with no hope of its return, will surely fade
And fading, that dark wall will surely turn to solid steel
The choice is yours to make; a life of loneliness and fear
Or tear down walls built carefully to hide your heart from pain
A love you never knew, a hand to hold, a soft embrace
Someone to heal your wounded heart is all you have to gain
The Thank You:
Thank you very much for the poem. It was beautiful. I wish you all the happiness in the world. Keep my e-mail address just in case you come across other good poems, you can help me out. May god bless you. Lilly
The Request:
This poem is for my girlfriend. We have been dating since Prom 3 months ago. She is 18 and I am 19. We are very mature about our relationship and we understand that we don't necessarily truly love each other (but let me tell you it really feels that way). I am definitely falling in love with her but we try not to say love to each other quite yet, so please don't use it in the poem. I am a poet (amateur) and I surprise her with these poems followed by a dozen white roses about once a month (I call them "white rose" gifts and she loves the whole concept). we are both leaving for college in a 2 weeks and I would like to give her a poem that shows her how much she really means to me and how much fun I had had with her this summer(because she is gong to Missouri and I am going to Colorado, we are both from Chicago). She is my world. I would like to give you some ideas of stuff we have done that I would like you to try to work into it; (The poem). We go to play disc golf and tennis all the time (she was on the high school tennis team and I was on the football team). We are going to a big fancy flora museum tomorrow (it is five acres of beautiful flowers and a very nice restaurant we are going too). We have gone out to eat at nice restaurants for dinner and breakfast all the time; we love to go to breakfast in the morning. We love to go to our suburbs live downtown and just walk and talk for hours. We love to go to the local parks during the day and at night and talk for hours. We also went to six flags right after prom back in may and it was great (I won this big dog and beat a friend of ours, Steve, at the strength thing where you hit the bell and he was much bigger than I was). I can't think of any more right now but that should be good enough. I would like most of the poem to be about how much she really means to me. I don't know how to explain it but she is an angel, we spend almost ever day together! I am falling in love with her and we have plans to meet each other over Christmas break and spring break and summer. we talk a lot about how we both hope that I will be at her older sisters wedding in Sept. next year 2004, because we want to still be together by then and want to be that close that her sister invites me. Her name is Katie but I call her Kate. She is 5'2” and has blond hair. She has a great figure and a heart of pure gold. She has a longing to serve and help other people. It is obvious. Her heart is the best part about her (even with her great body :)) I would really like is a.s.a.p. but I understand that you are bus, just please try to get it to me by the seventh day. Thanks again, and E-mail me if you have any questions. Please make it sound like it's from me.
Todd’s Dreams
Requested by Todd Schoenleber
A simple rite of passage, nothing much; just high school prom,
Why would I think it special? Just a dance, some punch and cake
But fate sent me an angel and life hasn’t been the same
For on that night, a dream began although I was awake
Heart pounded with excitement when I won that great big dog
You smiled at me, and wanting to impress you all the more
Surprised myself by beating Steve; he couldn’t ring the bell
Your laughter gave my heart new wings and thrilled me to its core
The dream remained, grew larger still, each day I spent with you
Those quiet dinners, where we talked of plans when we could meet
Although each night was young, I wanted none of them to end
For gazing at your angel face, I thought each night complete
The “white rose gifts”, when given, Oh I’m sure the flowers blushed
When held within the aura of a beauty more divine
And walking through the park, the songbirds hushed to hear your words
And I, with wonder never dreamed that this could all be mine
Our college plans, vacation trysts, your sisters wedding day
My fear of your departure; these are thoughts kept in my heart
But as we watched the sunsets, hand in hand, my dream remained
That dream is now reality, and this is just a start
Of something much more beautiful than I have ever known
Those seldom mentioned feelings warm a future, though unsaid
Dear Kate, I want to thank you for the summer of all time
If life’s rewards now ended, I would feel; “I’m still ahead”!
The Request:
For Levada Gibson…Sorry to hear about the loss of you son Duncan. May the Lord give you strength to carry on and may you find peace in the memories of the life that he lived and love for the things that you instill in him. That is fine, take your time, and the name is Linda. Thank you for the poem.
Condolences
Requested by Linda
My dear friend, please accept this poem for all that you have lost
Although it can’t say quite enough to ease heartbreaking pain
I know your life without him now’s a ship that’s tempest tossed
And memories of your sweet boy are all that now remain
I pray the Lord will grant you strength and help you carry on
And give you peace of mind in knowing how he lived his life
For you imparted goodness to your son, and his light shown
Upon so many others in this world of pain and strife
I know he’s in Gods arms this day because of what you taught
You’d rather have him in your arms, but we, within God’s plan
Live lives of hope in a reward that Jesus blood has bought
And when the Lord shall take you home, you’ll see your son again.
My prayers are with you every day for you’ve lost someone dear
I’m sure the Lord, with gentle hands, will wipe away each tear.
The Request: I'm glad that you’re in my life. I love you with all of my heart, and knowing you makes living worth living
Ode to Love
Requested by Mike Jones
The sun is but a dying ember and cannot compare
When I am in the presence of your light my worlds aglow
And I, in wonder, that an angel ever wished to share
Her thoughts and dreams; a love I felt that I would never know
The joy you bring to life is so much more than is my due
Mere words will not describe how my heart pounds when you are near
Each simple conversation brings more bliss than poets knew
Who wrote of their great love, I love you so much more, my dear
In dreams, you come to me, and I, with heaven in my heart
Could ask no more of life but that we two should never part
The Request: I appreciate her friendship over the years even though she and I have had our up's and downs and I also appreciate her being there for me when I have a problem, and I appreciate that I can go to her for advice. This is just to say what a good friend she is.
Good Friends
Requested by Mildred
What makes a friend, who can impart
With simple words and helping hands
That there is time for a new start
And brings a calm to life’s demands
Your words of wisdom, given free
Bring peace when troubles rule my day
You’re always there to comfort me
And know exactly what to say
We’ve had our ups and downs for years
But steadfast, friendship stays unchanged
You give me hugs and wipe my tears
Until my moods were rearranged
I hope this friendship, which we share
Will last ‘till life is at an end
This poem’s to let you know I care
And treasure you as a good friend.
The Request: I had one done by you like a week ago and this is the story. I met a guy named Angel, and right now he is incarcerated but is in a program where he could work outside of jail. We got to talking and he has been in for the last 5 years and I really started to like this guy, but he has been studying the bible for sometime now and he is a Christian. My problem is I have gotten somewhat intimate with him and really got to like him a lot and sometimes he acts like he is into me too but his religion won’t let him. I am not a Christian. He likes to go by what the bible tells him and he is giving me mixed signals. One day he looks like he likes me and another day, he just can’t because the bible says he is sinning. I want a poem saying, “stop giving me mixed signals”, and although I am not a Christian, it does not make me a bad person. I hope you could write one for me. The last one you sent I loved and he did too. Thanks.
Mari
Mixed Signals
Requested by Mari
I’ll never want a choice between what you believe and me
Although I do not share the same religion you’ve embraced
My only wants and needs are that whenever you are free
You’ll tell me how you truly feel and was my love misplaced
No sin of lust, just open arms love filled, which I possess
An unrequited love that my heart knows you can allay
Your feelings may not be the same although your eyes profess
A blaze of passion every time you look at me that way
The signals you are sending seem to change from day to day
Confusion reigns within my mind so I must ask one thing
Is what I see in you mere solitude that wants to play?
Is love in bloom within your heart or is it just a fling?
The Thank You:
Hi I got you site from freepoems.com. I went there, was reading poems, and came across your site. I want to thank you for the poem you sent me it was very sweet of you to do this for me. Sorry it took so long to answer you.
Mari
The Request: I am have been in Love with the same person for more than 8 years. We have dated off and on for that long. In between that time, I had baby by someone else and so did he. The problem is I am tired of playing games, I am 25 and he is 26. The real problem that we are having is on his in you know baby momma drama. She doesn't want him and she especially doesn't want him to be with me. I want to let him know that I would never do anything to come in between him and his child, but if he is in LOVE with me the way that he proclaims then he needs to make a choice and stop letting him us their child as bait and control his personal life. I think that should be enough. Thank you!
Chains
Requested by LiKesia Proby
We two, so much in love, could never give ourselves, complete
Though young and full of life when our paths crossed, we made no plan
For joining hands, exchanging vows; we only played the street
Enjoyed life, perhaps too much, thought love would come again
Mistakes were made by both of us and we did not foresee
That our mistakes could now control the life we live today
Those games we played kept us apart, but now you should agree
The time has come to prove those words I’ve always heard you say,
“I love you!” Show me that you mean it, “buts” I do not need
Break those chains which bind you to someone who doesn’t care
And uses your small child to hold you down, with hate and greed
She doesn’t want you in her life and blocks what we could share
I will not ask you make a choice between your child and me
Just make the choice to live your life. I ask, “What will it be?”
The Request: Angela is my fiancées name and I really just want to tell her how excited I am about becoming her husband. I would also want to show how much I appreciate her every day. She is the mother of one and is "mommy" to my two kids. She truly is the best mom I have seen.
A New Road
Requested by Jason
It wasn’t long ago my life was changed in special ways.
My future, bleak, without someone to help me through the days.
My children, motherless, alone though much too young to care.
A single parent, just like me, came with her love to share.
Two broken families upon life's road, with cautious fear
Made friends and watched a blossoming of hope begin, my dear.
A father's kind firm hand, I brought, and you, a mother’s arms.
Our shared load will be lighter now, with your love and your charms
First friends, then lovers we became, we’ll walk once more that aisle.
Words fail their task to thank you for your love, friendship and smile.
Our home will be so full of life, a place of joyful bliss.
The years will pass much easier when life is shared like this.
My words are pale expressions for the love I feel for you.
Your soft caress, your warmth, friendship, for all the things you do.
Our lives, now blessed by God, are all I ever hoped they'd be.
I love you more than ever now that you’re my kid’s “Mommy”.
