  1. When I Think Of You
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2018

    When I think of you,

    I recall the laughter we shared
    The troubles we aired
    The joy and the tears
    The expressions of fear.
    The good times we've had
    The times we've been mad.

    But through it all
    I smile when I recall
    The talks of life we have had
    The times when we've been sad
    But you are always there
    Even when I acted like a bear

    So when I think of you
    I know I can count on you that's true
    I count my blessings that you, I can depend
    You will always be a good true friend.



  2. You Bring
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2019

    Thinking of you brings visions of flowers
    You bring memories of happy hours.

    Thinking of you brings thoughts of sunshine
    Of all things in life that are fine.

    Thinking of you makes me appreciate the things
    That special people in our life do bring.

    Thinking of you brings thoughts of love
    Of freedom and flying just like a dove.

    Thinking of you each and every day
    Makes me hope in my life you will stay.



  3. There Are People In Our Lives
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020

    There are people in our lives who bring rainbows after the rain
    There are people in our lives who make us laugh and entertain
    There are people in our lives who bring sunshine on a cloudy day
    There are people in our lives who encourage us in all they say
    There are people in our lives who bring a smile when all seems blue
    There are people in our lives who help us no matter what we do.

    When I think of you, I think of the rainbow after the rain
    When I think of you, I think of laughter and being entertained
    When I think of you, I think of sunshine on a cloudy day
    When I think of you, I think of the encouragement and things you say
    When I think of you, I think of smiles and I'm never blue
    When I think of you, I think of all the help you give and what you do.

    So on this day as I think of you
    I just want to say I appreciate you and thank you for being so true!

    You are in my thoughts today
    Just want to say I appreciate you in every way

  6. Every Time I Think Of You
    Poet: Kate Summers, © 2019

    Every time I think of you
    I am thankful for all you do.
    You are always there
    And, you always show you care.

    No matter the issue at hand
    You never make any demands
    You listen and comfort me
    Help find solutions for me to see.

    And when the times are good
    You encourage as you should
    We have such good memories
    The days of fun and victories.

    Friends like you are far and few
    I always can count on you.
    So when I think of you
    I am thankful for all you do.

  8. Meet Again
    Poet: Unknown

    Accept my friend these lines from me,
    They show that I remember thee,
    And hope some thought they will retain
    Till you and I shall meet again.

    I want a warm and faithful friend,
    To cheer the adverse hour;
    Who ne'er to flatter will descend.
    Nor bend the knee to power;

    A friend to chide me when I'm wrong;
    My inmost soul to see;
    And that my friendship prove as strong
    For him as his for me.

    I now understand love and what it can do
    My days are filled with thoughts of you
    I love you so much that is true!

    You make my world happy each day
    By the things, you do and say.

  12. Do You Ever Think Of Me
    Poet: Arthur Franklin Fuller

    O maid of velvet lashes,
    And eyes of winsome brown,
    Your charms my heart have captured
    And torn its armor down.
    Do you ever think of me?

    Will you deign my plight to see?
    Hazy dawn 'til purple twilight —
    Do you ever think of me?

    Gentle maid, with voice of music.
    And soul both sweet and true,
    Days and nights o'erflow with goodness
    When blessed by dreams of you.
    You are all the world to me!

    Can captive Captor be?
    Gloomy night 'til rosy morning —
    Do you ever think of me?



  13. Love's Nearness
    Poet: Henry VanDyke

    I think of thee, when golden sunbeams shimmer
    Across the sea;
    And when the waves reflect the moon's pale glimmer,
    I think of thee.

    I see thy form, when down the distant highway
    The dust-clouds rise;
    In deepest night, above the mountain by-way,
    I see thine eyes.

    I hear thee when the ocean-tides returning
    Loudly rejoice;
    And on the lonely moor, in stillness yearning,
    I hear thy voice.

    I dwell with thee: though thou art far removed,
    Yet art thou near.
    The sun goes down, the stars shine out,-
    Beloved,
    Ah, wert thou here!

  15. I Thought Of You
    Poet: Helen Farries

    This morning when I wakened
    And saw the sun above,
    I softly said, "Good Morning, Lord,
    Bless everyone I love!"

    Right away I thought of you
    And said a little prayer
    That he would bless you specially
    And keep you free from care...

    I thought of all the happiness
    A day could hold in store,
    And wished it all for you because
    No one deserves it more!

    I felt so warm and good inside,
    My heart was all aglow...
    I know God heard my prayer for you,
    He hears them all you know!



  16. Special In Every Way
    Poet: Samatha Anne Marie Lynch, © 2020

    There are many people I think of during the day
    But you are one who is special in every way.
    I think about you and wonder
    Is your day good or full of thunder?

    I say a prayer for you each day
    And ask the Lord to keep you in every way
    I pray that you are kept safe and well
    Because in my books you are swell.

    I hope you find laughter and lots of smiles
    And as you travel life's many miles
    That peace, happiness and love
    Are sent to you from heaven above.



  17. There are many people I think of during the day But you are one who is special in every way.


  18. Be With Thee
    Poet: John G. Whittier

    God's love and peace be with thee, . . .
    Where'er I look, where'er I stray,
    Thy thought goes with me on my way
    And hence the prayer I breathe to-day;
    Thou lack'st not Friendship's spell-word, nor
    The half-unconscious power to draw
    All hearts to thine by Love's sweet law.

    With these good gifts of God is cast
    Thy lot, and many a charm thou hast
    To hold the blessed angels fast.
    God's love, — unchanging, pure, and true, —
    The Paraclete white — shining through
    His peace, — the fall of Herman's dew.
    With such a prayer, on this sweet day,
    As thou may'st hear and I may say,
    I greet thee, dearest, far away!

    Missing You and Long Distance

    Poems that express how much you miss someone, whether they are far away or just not near enough.


  20. I Forget Thee Not
    Poet: Lillian E. Curtis

    Does the sun e'er tire of rising and going down again?
    Or the moon of looking down at night o'er field and plain?
    Just so are my untiring thoughts the same.

    Tho' river and gulf now spread out 'tween thee and me,
    And though we're wide apart on Life's great sea,
    Yet no more, my friend, do I forget thee.

    Is it tiresome to bear thee constantly in my mind?
    Ah, what easier burden could I hope to find?
    'Tis the lightest surely, and the dearest kind.

    Thou art e'er in the mind's recess, whether I would or not,
    And in the heart's garden, thou hast a warm, warm spot.
    And the roses whisper, thou ne'er shalt be forgot.

    The days are dull and stupid, since thou left the city.
    Hours of ennui filled with nothing gay or witty:
    Oh, say, why art thou gone? 'tis such a pity!

    Dull are the streets where thou wert wont to walk;
    Monotonous the circles in which thou used to talk;
    And in our social gatherings there comes many a balk.

    But this thou know, where e'er I am, where e'er my lot,
    Whether in the gay mansion, or the humble cot.
    Remember that I still forget thee not.



  21. Pick A Flower
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    If I could pick a flower for every time I thought of you
    It would keep me busy and I would not be blue!
    As each day passes without you here
    I realize how much I miss you, my Dear.

    I think of you in the morning and at noon
    And I pray that you will be home soon.
    The house is so empty without you here
    When you are around there is always a feeling of cheer.

    So this little poem is written to say
    You are missed in every way.
    You are in my thoughts, I'm thinking of you
    I will be happy when you're back, oh, that is so true.



  22. You are in my thoughts, I'm thinking of you


  23. Warm Wishes and Love
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    I do not see you every day
    And sometimes weeks go by
    But just want to say
    You are thought often, that's no lie.

    When I'm feeling down and blue
    Happy memories flood my mind
    I am so blessed to have a friend like you
    One who is thoughtful and oh so kind.

    So on this day to you I send
    Warm wishes and love to fill your day
    May happiness surround you, my friend
    Your thought of dearly in every way.

    In the depths of my heart, love blooms,
    Like a radiant sun that forever consumes.

    A love so pure, beyond comprehension.
    Every moment with you feels so right,
    You fill my days with sheer delight.



  26. Every Memory Woven
    Poet: B. R. Pulsifer


    Remember the laughter we have shared,
    The adventures and moments we truly cared.
    Through thick and thin, we held each other close,
    Creating memories that no one else knows.

    From morning walks to late-night talks,
    Together we conquered life's challenging knocks.
    Every memory we've woven into our souls,
    A tapestry of love that endlessly unfolds.



  27. Missing You
    Poet: B. R. Pulsifer


    With every passing moment, I miss you more,
    My heart aches for you, my love, to my very core.
    Distance may separate us, but our hearts remain entwined,
    In the chambers of my soul, your presence I find.

    In the stillness of the night, I yearn for your touch,
    Longing for the warmth of your love, oh so much.
    Until we're together again, my dear, I'll hold on tight,
    I am thinking of you  day and night.



  28. Until we're together again, my dear, I'll hold on tight, 	I am thinking of you  day and night.


  29. Together Where We Belong
    Poet: B.. R. Pulsifer


    The house feels empty, without your laughter,
    Longing for the moment when we'll be together.
    The scent of your perfume lingers in the air,
    Reminding me of the love we both share.

    Time seems to crawl, oh so slow,
    In this empty house, I long for you to show.
    I'll light up the candles, create a cozy space,
    Preparing for our reunion, that long-awaited embrace.

    Missing you tenderly, my dear,
    Counting down the days, so crystal clear.
    Though you're away, my love remains strong,
    And soon we'll be together, where we belong.

  31. Threads of Love
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    In the depths of my mind, I wander back
    To moments shared, where time stood still,
    A treasure trove of memories to unpack,
    In the cascade of nostalgia, my heart fills.

    Your laughter echoes in the halls of my soul,
    Like a symphony, harmonizing with mine,
    Each memory, a puzzle, makes me whole,
    A tapestry woven with threads of love divine.



  32. Depth Of Our Love
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    In the stillness of the night, I lie awake,
    Longing for your touch, your warmth, your embrace,
    An ache in my heart, an emptiness I can't shake,
    Lost in the abyss of distance, this empty space.

    Your absence fuels the fire of desire,
    A yearning that consumes every breath,
    Like a flower in drought, my soul's on fire,
    Longing for your presence, so great is my depth.



  33. Silently Yearning
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    In the depths of my thoughts, I often find you,
    Your presence that lingers, evoking emotions within.
    Unspoken feelings and desires, silently yearning,
    Longing to be expressed, for them your deserving.

    Your mere presence ignites a fire deep within my soul,
    A flame that burns with an intensity I can't control.
    But alas, my tongue remains still, and my words unspoken,
    Leaving these feelings hidden, forever my heart broken.

    Oh, the words I should have said, if only I had known,
    That time would slip away, leaving me all alone.
    Regrets fill my heart, for the chances from my lips,
    To reveal my true feelings, that I so sadly let slip.

    I wish I could go back, rewrite the story of our past,
    Ink the pages with words of love that would forever last.
    To express the desires that remain tucked away,
    To confess my love, for you to hear me say.



  34. In the depths of my thoughts, I often find you, Your presence that lingers, evoking emotions within.


  35. Unspoken Feelings
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    As life moves on, and the moments are lost,
    In the currents of time, paying a hefty cost.
    Yet still, I pause and ponder, in the silence of the night,
    About the unspoken feelings that I should have brought to light.

    For in these unvoiced desires, lie a bittersweet pain,
    The ache of holding back, in fear of going in vain.
    But if I could turn back time, and rewrite our history,
    I'd convey my love, with unabashed authenticity.
