Does it have to be a famous one, or just any one?

I have a few but here is a recent one that I like :

Like a song
that remains
in the heart
when the music
is playing no more.
Like a fragrance
that stays in the air
where a flower
has blossomed before.
Like a star
that continues to glow
long after
the breaking of dawn.
The ones we have loved
remain with us still,
and the
beautiful memories
go on.

On the wings of a memory

On the wings of a memory I saw a vision of you there, With rainbows in your eyes and heaven's light in your hair. I reached for your hand just one more touch, Is it asking for a miracle is it asking too much? I feel your presence on the wind I smell you on the rain, Just one more time to have your laughter ease the pain. To see that wonderful little grin on your face, To have your smile light up even the darkest place. If it were possible, I'd pray you back home with the dawn, But then again, on the wings of my memories you're not really gone!

Any one you want. Those are beautiful!!!

Just a memory away
I'm no longer by your side
but there's no need to weep
I've left recollections
I'm hoping you will keep

Eternal joy and memories
stay in our hearts forever
Strengthening our special bond
that parting cannot sever

Now it's time to journey on
so let your faith be strong
For I am in a better place
I'm home where I belong

And if times of loneliness
bring sorrow and dismay,
Don't despair, For I am there...

Just a memory away


Ok I have to admit the part that says I am in a better place and home now still gets to me because I can't think of a better place then In my arms but I understand what they are trying to convey.

This is a poem that we read at my oldest son's friends and family gathering after he was killed. I never knew he had it untill we found it in his things. His girlfriend said that my son Cody had written it down to keep because it put into words how he felt about his little brothers death. I do not know who the author is.

Try Again
I'm tired of gloom, I'm tired of pain. I want to rejoin the world again. Life does proceed, when a loved one leaves but it's difficult for me, who will be left to grieve. Today I will try to smile once more, death disappeared and left my door. I'll pick myself up and try again, I'll make an effort to love again. It won't be easy as well I know but I won't give up the change made me grow. I loved him so much and fate left me behind the pain in my heart will remain for a while but yesterdays gone, today I will smile.
