Book excerpt: Dear one two long years have passed Since you softly went away We still miss you and feel lonely With each passing day. In memory we trace your footsteps As you softly crossed the floor We hear your beloved voice fading As an echo thru a door. Time must go on as we can see And there is much for us to do But memories are a treasured gift That God gives to us too. Some day we will leave our memories here And through the valley pass To meet again beyond the clouds Where joy will forever last. We never knew my grandmother wrote such beautiful poems. I found them one day looking through my mom's papers, and read them all. I was touched by the poems, I thought that I should share them with all.

Dark looms the ivy-mantled tower Among the spreading trees, While round its ever-crumbling base Are tombstones, thick as bees. Within a tiny sheltered nook, Close to its towering walls, Where early snowdrops rear their heads, And soft the footstep falls. Two graves are laid--one old, one new, Removed from toil and care, Upon the grassy, verdant sward, Alloting each their share. Above those graves, already green, Lov'd hands have strewn the flowers, That grow in beauty o'er their heads Sweet freshened by the showers. In silence laid from years gone by Contented there they sleep; No busy din disturbs their rest Save they that lowly weep In silence, o'er those lov-ed forms, From which they cannot part, Whose bitter, scalding tears denote The grieving, aching heart. They're gone before--why should we weep, Why shed those bitter tears? 'Tis only for a brief, brief space, A few short speeding years E'er we, ourselves, shall lowly lie Beneath that self-same sod; Our dust shall find its resting-place, Our souls shall find their God. So, gentle mother, do not weep, But rather joyous be, That lov-ed face beams down from Heaven And showers her smiles on thee. Unseen, thou can'st not see her Upon that radiant shore; No longer ag-ed, there she stands, As seen in days of yore. She's young again--age hath no power To dim her beauties bright; No toil, no care, no death to fear, No darkness deep as night. Enshrouding round her feeble form, Or tottering footsteps, there, Before her Lord, she's face to face, His Heavenly glories share. So, gentle mother, do not weep, But rather joyous be To think that when the summons came She answered cheerfully. She could not wait--she could not stay, It was her lord's command; That longed-for...

Download or read book Wading Through Lethe written by Paulette Guerin and published by Futurecycle Press. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wading Through Lethe, a girl growing up in rural Arkansas learns to navigate life, love, and loss as she approaches womanhood. She leaves home to study and to travel. The heroes and gods of Greek myth appear alongside Christian saints; rural landscapes and cicadas give way to Gothic churches and the Roman Forum. Metamorphosis is at the heart of these poems-the necessary transformations that leave us changed as memory pulls us to the past, where nothing and everything is the same. With musical language, these formal and free verse poems highlight the way we shape memory and the inevitability of forgetting. In the end, the search becomes not about discarding the past but about choosing what we keep. Orpheus may have lost Eurydice, but there is still music.

Download or read book Knock, Knock, Grandma's Dead: Eternal Elegies for the Dearly Deceased written by Ma Bones and published by Little ChickLit Books. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From silly to somber, this collection of poems tells us how Grandma dies when she goes from planting the daisies to pushing them up. Ma Bones and Nick Dunkenstein set out to tackle the taboo subject of death. They wanted to make a difficult topic approachable through the whimsical and the macabre. While the title might seem jarring, it is also arresting. The word "Dead", free of euphemism, conveys finality. The book, makes an attempt to tackle death in three of its forms: absurd, lonely, and peaceful. Each poem acts as a miniature story with a "set-up" in the first stanza, while the last stanza is the "take-away". Form and structure aid the collections consistency, while the content of each poem is always unique. Utilizing this format the creators craft a dialogue about death. This conversation opens up the possibility of an expression of thoughts and feelings, in regards to the subject of bereavement. Why Grandma? Because, grandmothers are the hearth and heart of a home. They rear and raise a family. When we loose a grandmother we loose a companion and mentor, but hopefully through loss we gain the inheritance of their wisdom and spirit. From a modern Rock Gran, who passes when struck down by lighting, to a Grandma who sits alone waiting on her family which never arrives for a holiday feast only to wither away alone in "Home," these poems open this dialogue over death and bereavement and go on to explore our relationship as a society with the elderly. They highlight our varied heritage in poems like "Gone, Not Forgotten" reminding us to pay homage to the women who raised our parents and us and teach us about the haunting afflictions of aging, like Alzheimer's in "A Rose's Forgotten Petals." Overall they open our minds, and provide a cause for conversation, while allowing us to explore our feelings on death, and teaching us to be aware the ailments that afflict our elders, and appreciate their personalities and pasts that come from a life filled with its own unique history.

Download or read book Momma Said written by Alice Curtis and published by Alice Curtis. This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandma lived a simple life as a wife and Mother. After losing her Mother, at age six, she was raised by her Mother's sister and her husband. Growing up in the South in the early 1900's wasn't easy but she came to believe God's word and though she had only a sixth grade, formal education, her education in God's wisdom always served her well. Through her loving expressions, God's word served her family well also. This book is a poetic compilation of some of her words, heard directly or through family members. Her Granddaughter wrote them down, took them to heart and placed them in this book for others to read, enjoy, ponder and heed. Listen to the plain speech of a Mother and Grandmother who loved all around her and conveyed the love of a gracious and wise God through these utterances. "Momma Said" is for those who remember a loving parent who did the same, for those who had not so loving parents and wish they did and for those who just want to be uplifted by words sprinkled with wisdom and love.
