Poems

Mom, I loved you yesterday,
I love you tomorrow and everyday.
You were there for me my first day of school, t
o hold my hand and give me courage to go.
You listened to me when I needed to talk,
you talked to me when I needed to listen.
You let me grow and learn from my own mistakes.
You never left my side when I was feeling down,
I knew you would be there to pick me up.
I wish there was a way
I could repay all the things you have done for me,
but there’s nothing great enough to repay the greatest mother of all..

This poem was submitted by Vicky.

I want to say I love you on your birthday,
Though love is something you don’t want from me.
Things didn’t go so well when I last said it,
And so I’ll keep it silent in my heart.

But how the words reverberate within me!
A song that I must struggle not to sing,
A music I must dance to without motion,
A poem that I must never read aloud.

Your wishes are a wall I would not scale,
Yet won’t abandon, loathe to leave behind.
I cannot have, and cannot bear to lose you,
And so I send you this in my despair.

One candle for ……..Baby,
On her (his) birthday cake,
One love pat - a soft one,
One hug and one shake;
Then one kiss with love
That can never be told,
All these for our ………Baby
Who’s just ……. year old.

Today is my birthday, and I’m turning four.
This year is my wish for a knock at the door.
Mom say’s he’s not coming but I’m not so sure.
Today at my party I know he will be,
and when he gets here I’ll have him sit next to me.
I carry a picture with me every day of my daddy and me on my hospital day,
I was wrapped in a blanket and tucked in his arms.
And now I sit here with tears in my eyes,
Mom keeps telling me to try and have fun,
but I cant figure out just what I have done.
My party’s almost over all my presents unwrapped and I can’t help but wonder
just where is he at.
Happy Birthday’s to me is all I hear,
and I’m crying right now because my daddy’s not here.
It’s really late now and everyone’s gone,
mom’s helping me put my P.J’s on,
I finish my prayers and I hop into bed,
mom covers me up and kisses my head.
My wish didn’t come true I sobbed as I said,
please don’t forget to leave my picture by the side of my bed.

This birthday wish is coming to you
And I want to acknowledge all that you do

But first let me tell you how this poem came to be
I had some trouble this morning, as you will soon see

I went into town to get a birthday card
But dang it, at home I had left my debit card

So I decided to write you this poem instead
The thought of going back to town had filled me with dread

You’ve loved your family from the very start
What you and mom have created can never be torn apart

You’ve always been there whenever I needed
You make me feel special by the way I am treated

You are my father for which I am glad
Without you in my life I would be truly sad

You’ve made me laugh, you’ve made me cry
You’ve let me make my own decisions because you knew I had to try

For you as a father I have no complaint
I love you to pieces, but I know you’re no saint

I cherish the closeness that we now share
I want you to know how very much I care

You are the gift that was given to me
Your love for me is truly the key

To sum it all up, just let me say
I love you, I love you, each and everyday
Happy Birthday
