1. My Uncle raised me from the age of 1. His death was unexpected and very hard to accept. 18 months later I still miss him terribly. He was my Uncle, my father and my hero.
My Uncle

I came into this life
You held me in your arms
You kept me safe
So no one could harm
You taught me values
Lessons in life I would learn
You taught me to respect
I gave you love in return
You have always been in my life
Through thick and thin
And now my lonely journey
Without you will begin
For you were my hero
Forever and a day
You will always remain that hero
Till I meet you again some day
I will embrace you in my arms
And hold on tight
I will stand by your side
And you will never leave my sight
I miss you so much
The pain does not ease
I pray you are happy
And finally at peace
2. I found my uncle with no life and miss him ever so much. This was when I was 12 years of age and I can’t get over it still. I wanted to say how I feel and just let it all out. He was the closest thing to me, through my family the most loved. But now he has left us to join his mates in heaven drinking high above.
I Miss You

there’s a feeling in my skin, one that I can’t ignore.
I hate waking up in the morning, without you knocking on our door.
I miss the way when you smiled, you lit up the whole night sky.
I miss the way you taught me, to never at all be shy.
I walk down the streets alone now, without you by my side.
I find it hard when someone mentions your name, not to run and hide.
sit alone in my room in the dark from night.
always hoping you will be standing there when I turn on the light.
I didn’t see you on your last day, and I didn’t get to say all that I could say.
I can’t miss anyone more then you, without you our family can never be true.
I miss you completely, I miss you, I miss you ! xxx
3. I’ve written this poem in loving memory of my uncle Cameron and for all those who have lost a loved one in their life.
Missing You…

Days have passed, months came, years are on their way.
How I wish you were still here with me today.
Thoughts of you linger in my head,
Wondering how life would be if you weren’t dead.
They say time will heal all our pain.
Somehow it feels like my whole life went down the drain.
I still can’t believe that you’ve gone so soon,
Leaving behind just memories of you.
I’ll miss your smile, the one you’d always wear,
And your laughter and open arms you always shared.
You’ll always be missed by your children too.
Don’t you worry, we’ll tell them all about you.
You can look over us from the heavens above
While we continue to share your love.
Days have passed, months came, years are on their way.
Even though you’re gone, your love won’t ever go astray!

The Day God Took You
© Chelsea M. Smeltzer
It was the shocking news that brought tears to my eyes.
And you made me remember what it was like to cry.
On that dreadful day, God decided it was your time, your time to go,
So He took your life away.
And everyone felt the pain, the pain that you had been suffering for so long.
It’s harder than I ever thought life could be without you.
So the family will always think of you,
And we will always know that you’ll be looking down on us keeping us safe,
Making sure everything goes okay in our lives,
Making sure that we live a good life just like you did
Until the day that God decided that it was your time to go
And we cried as the rain fell that day.
Little drops of rain, whisper of the pain, tears of love lost in the days gone by.
I hope you were watching the day the family gathered around your casket
To see you lying there cold faced with the look of happiness on your face
Knowing that we were all there to show you that we cared a lot about you, No matter how much you think we didn’t care.
But the day we gathered around your cold faced body proved we cared.
We still sit here and think about you at your daughter’s wedding.
She really wished you could be there,
So we took a minute of silence in memory of you.
We bowed our heads for a minute then Amy and Brett preceded with the marriage.
We all miss you
We want you to come back home.
We want you back in our lives.
