When your heart was beating (Poem)

When your heart was beating
You carried the whole world
Inside your heart
You were a saviour,
A helper, a giver, a doer
 
When your heart was beating
You were an unstoppable force
Who swept everyone up
Into his vortex of love
Family, friends, strangers alike
 
When your heart was beating
You built a cocoon of love
To keep us safe and warm
You gave us wings to fly
And an anchor for stormy seas
 
Now your heart beats
Inside our hearts
Every beat of our heart
Reminds us of your love
Filling our lives to the very brim
 
Inspiring us to
Give more, live more,
Do more and be more
Because when your heart was beating
The world was a more beautiful place...

Ray of light (Poem)

When you opened your eyes
And looked at us
When you blinked your eyes
And nodded your head
A ray of light came through
Dispersing the darkness of
A deep dark endless night
Bringing some light
Into the recesses our heart
 
A dark cloud appeared
Hiding that ray of light
Plunging us again
Into fear and darkness
But then the ray reappeared
Assuring us that it's still there
And while the dark clouds
May keep on hiding it
The ray will hold its place
 
Reminding us to believe
And to keep holding on
To our to our faith
To tap into our reserves
Of patience and courage
It's only a matter of time
When one ray will become many
And our world will be flooded
With bright sunshine...

No other way (Poem)

Dreary walls
Long halls
Grim faces
Tearful eyes
Endless wait
Flickering hope
Peaks and valleys
Of emotions
 
Your smiling face
Your boundless love
The comforting sound
Of your voice
Your infinite energy
Your positivity
Your magic of
Making it happen
Keeps us going
 
Make it happen
Keep fighting
Keep progressing
Inch by inch 
We will wait
As long as it takes
Come back to us
Because there is
No other way...

Guardian Angel (Poem)

I said to God -
You took away our
Guardian angel
Who healed us with
His kindness, his smile,
His warmth, his love
And sometimes
A medicine or two
 
God said - your angel lives on
In each of his loved ones
In the kindness they show
In the values they live by
In the love that binds them
In their pursuit of excellence
He lives on in the memories
He created with you
In the lives he touched
And the lives he saved
 
I asked God
Why did you give him
So much suffering
What kind of God
Gives so much pain
To a soul so pure
And a heart so gentle
 
God said
Life in mortal form
Is full of suffering
But the soul is free
Your angel suffered
To be with you
So that you could
See his love
And not just feel it
Because he loved you
 Far too much
 
I asked God
How are we supposed
To carry on
Without him
Without our angel
Watching over us
Without his love
Without his words
 
God said - He is still
With you, all around you
Watching over you
Caring for you
Every step of the way
Just close your eyes
And you will hear him
And see him
And feel him, as he
Guides you from
His seat in heaven...
