Messages of Comfort and Reassurance

This section offers poems that provide solace and encouragement, helping readers feel connected and supported from afar.



1. From Heaven
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   I am sending you this letter
   From a place that is better
   Heaven is so peaceful
   I am so grateful.
   
   But just remember my dear
   Be happy no more tears
   I know you miss me
   But live your life and see
   
   Time goes so fast
   Don't waste it being downcast
   Be happy for the times we had
   Don't waste your days by being sad.
   
   We will see each other again
   And for eternity we will remain
   So fulfill your purpose on the earth
   And you will find in heaven a rebirth!
   




2. Keep Believing
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Keep believing cause it is true
   Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
   No one comes to the Father except through me."
   What a promise, don't be blue.
   
   We will reunite again, please believe
   And, oh what a joyous day, just wait and see!
   Quickly time goes by, don't waste your years
   Smile when you think of me, please no tears.
   
   Even though we are temporarily apart
   I will always be in your heart
   I will watch over you
   Be happy in all you do!
   







3. Know That I Am Here
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   I'm up here in the clouds,
   Where the sky is always blue.
   I'm looking down upon you,
   And I know you're feeling blue too.
   
   So when you're feeling lonely,
   Just look up to the sky.
   And know that I am with you,
   And I'll never say goodbye.
   
   For though I may be gone,
   My love will never die.
   It will live on forever,
   In every tear you cry.
   
   So don't be sad, my dear,
   For I am always near.
   Just close your eyes and feel me,
   And know that I am here.

Symbols and Reminders of Love

Explore poems that use symbols like trees to represent enduring love and the presence of loved ones beyond physical separation.



4. Plant A Tree
   Poet: Kate Summers
   
   Plant a tree and watch it grow
   It will remind you how I love you so
   Although we are apart
   Memories you have will never part.
   
   Let the little tree remind you
   I'm in heaven watching over you
   So please don't be blue
   Remember all the happy times too.
   
   The tree is a symbol of life
   Good times and times of strife
   I send this letter from heaven for you
   A place that is beautiful and true.
   
   So as the wind blows through the tree
   Remember that I am now free
   The day will come when together again
   But you have a purpose on earth that is not the end.

Reflections on Eternity and Reunion

Reflect on the eternal connection and the joyous reunions that await in the afterlife through these thoughtful verses.



5. Fan With Bright Wings
   Poet: Eloise Hardy Thatcher
   
   From all wilt thou part in joy, not in sorrow -
   Oh! light be thy heart on thy bridal tomorrow.
   
   And now in that home at morn and at even,
   When swells the glad song of thanksgiving to Heaven,
   
   One voice will be mute, one sweet song unspoken,
   One string of the lute, one silver chord broken.
   
   Thy place at the board - thy seat by the fire -
   The duties of love to thy fond-hearted sire -
   
   Thy sisters so dear, thy kind, loving brothers,
   Thou'rt leaving them all, for thy heart is another's!
   
   Oh, truly and well may he cherish and love thee -
   May Hope's sunny spell shine ever above thee!
   
   May Memorys chain thrown brightly around thee.
   Oft bring thee again to the home where he found thee.
   
   And when comes the spring with its sunshine and flowers
   Again may'st thou sing in thine own woodland bowers.
   
   From thy casement again in the soft hours of even
   May'st thou gaze on die stars shining ever in Heaven.
   
   Through the whispering grove, the lake and the river.
   Again may'st thou rove as joyous as ever.
   
   Thou hast listened the spell of the woodland and water
   They have whispered farewell to their loveliest daughter.
   
   But with thee I'll go through joy and through sorrow.
   And fan with bright wings every cloud from tomorrow.
