THINKING OF YOU FOR LABOR DAY 2009 / CATHY~MOM OF DAVID GIRAUD~LAST-MEMORIES
Poem/ Paula Bruckner (Mother to Adam ) Bereaved Parent James R Lowell poem for his beloved daughter Rose
Taken from the book The Bereaved Parent
Located in the chapter of Bereavement and Religion.
My thoughts on this: Voiced thoughts are oftentimes to real for the civilians to hear. This poem is over 100 years old written by a Dad after the loss of his daughter.
The name of the poem is: "After the burial"
Yes faith is a goodly anchor;
When skies are sweet as a psalm
At the bows it lolls so stalwart
In it's bluff broad-shouldered calm.
And when over breakers to leeward
the tattered surges are hurled
It may keep our head to the tempest
With it's grip on the base of the world.
But after the shipwreck tell me
What help in its iron thews
Still true to the broken hawser
Deep down among sea-weed and ozze?
In the breaking gulfs of sorrow
When the helpless feet stretch out
And find in the deeps of darkness
No footing so solid as doubt
Then better one spar of Memory
One broken plank of the Past
That our human heart may cling to
Though hopeless of shore at last!
To the spirit its splendid conjectures
to the flesh its sweet despair
Its tears o'er the thin-worn locket
With its anguish of deathless hair!
Immortal? I feel it and know it
who doubts it of such as she?
But that is the pang's very secret-
Immortal away from me.
There's a narrow ridge in the graveyard
Would scare stay a child in his race
But to me and my thought it is wider
Than the star-sown vague of Space.
Your logic my friend is perfect
Your moral most drearily true;
But since the earth clashed on her coffin
I keep hearing that and not you.
Console if you will I can bear it;
"Tis a well-meant alms of breath;
But not all the preachng since Adam
Has made Death other than Death.
It is pagan; but wait till you feel it-
That jar of the earth that dull shock
When the ploughshare of deeper passion
Tears down to our primitive rock.
Communion in spirit! Forgive me
But I who am earthly and weak
Would give all my incomes from dreamland
For a touch of her hand on my cheek.
That little shoe in the corner
So worn and wrinkled and brown
With its emptiness confutes you
and argues your wisdom down
Musings/ Forever Adam's Mom Paula Bruckner (Mother of angel ) Death never looks back to see my tears or how difficult life has become now for me. When death stops a heart it doesn't understand that it beat with another.
Chrissy: Almost three years ago you left your loving circle of family & friends on what they all thought was a regular day. Many hearts were broken and have remained that way. Your laugh your smile your loving ways will never be able to just fade away. Your loved ones think of your unique gifts and helps them navigate throughout their long days. You are their daughter sister granddaughter niece cousin girlfriend and friend. You will always be there with them until you all meet again.
Josh Groban song: Meaningful lyrics 4 us bereaved / Paula Adam's Mom Bruckner (Thinking of Mario & Linda ) Remember I will still be here
As long as you hold me in your memory
Remember me
Remember when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
I am the one star that keeps burning so brightly
It is the last light to fade into the rising sun
I'm with you
Whenever you tell my story
For I am all I've done
Remember I will still be here
As long as you hold me in your memory
Remember me
I am that one voice in the cold wind that whispers
And if you listen you'll hear me call across the sky
As long as I still can reach out and touch you
Then I will never die
Remember I'll never leave you
If you will only
Remember me
(Remember me...)
Remember I will still be here
As long as you hold me
In your memory
Remember when your dreams have ended
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me
Remember me
Remember... me...
Thinking of you and yours as you busily prepare for the 3rd annual Chrissy's wish fundraiser. You guys are my heroes; with giant heartaches you continue to persevere and do good for others.
See you at the dinner!
XO Paula
Happy Valentine's Day! / Wm. Scott &. Samantha Myers
Prayer for friendship / Adam's Mama Paula (Mother to another Angel ) You have blessed us, O God,
with the gift of friendship,
the bonding of persons
in a circle of love.
We thank you for such a blessing:
for friends who love us,
who share our sorrows,
who laugh with us in celebration,
who bear our pain,
who need us as we need them,
who weep as we weep,
who hold us when words fail,
and who give us the freedom
to be ourselves.
Bless our friends with health,
wholeness, life, and love.
Amen.
