Song Lyrics about Ultimate Love: Hold Me Close
The ultimate love poem about another person, or even a higher power.
HOLD ME CLOSE
(VERSE ONE)
I am so lost
in this real place
yet there is so much love
to embrace
I know the tears I cry
will be replaced
by smiles only you can paint
upon this face
In another time and another place
yes you were there
and in this time and in this place
you are here
you steal my tears
to bring me hope
with you I breathe
with you I cope
(CHORUS)
Hold me close
Keep me near
When I’m away from you
that’s when I fear
just take my hand
and bring me home
when I’m away from you
I am alone
So hold me tight
and let me stay
it’s when I follow you
I find my way
You show me how
You let me know
that being close to you
is where to go
(VERSE 2)
I find rock strength
from deep within
when I want to end
is where I begin
I know the dreams I dream
may or may not come true
understanding most of all
the act of dreaming renews
for a spirit cold without a mission home
is where empty grows
but a spirit burning from a passionate soul
sets us free
keeps us whole, so please stay with me…
(CHORUS)
Hold me close
Keep me near
When I’m away from you
that’s when I fear
just take my hand
and bring me home
when I’m away from you
I am alone
So hold me tight
and let me stay
it’s when I follow you
I find my way
You show me how
You let me know
that being close to you
is where to go
(ENDING…)
I’m not lost
never was
merely dropped your hand
just because
I got in my way
refused the truth
yes I knew it all
a victim of youth
simple clarity leads me home
Living in the “Now”
I no longer roam
you always held my hand
you never let it go
it was me
all me
so, please…
Keep holding me close,
I’ll always keep you here
you’re a part of me
you’re my premiere

His Mommy Died Today: Dedicated to families who have suffered this Loss throughout the world. This poem is sad, so if you’re quite emotional right now, you should consider reading this at another time. If you or someone you know have suffered a loss, my heart goes out to you, and I really hope you find some peace. This kind of pain was difficult to pen to paper. The poem below is from the perspective of an 11 year old boy, and I’m sorry to say is based on a true story.
His Mommy Died Today
(Please Answer Your Cell Phone Mommy)
His heart is crying, he’s so very young,
He doesn’t know what a dagger looks like
yet he feels one deep inside his stomach
He cries, his mommy died today,
please answer your cell phone mommy
His breaths are taken between heaving sobs
He’s never seen a raging fire,
yet he feels one consuming his spirit
Please answer your cell phone mommy
He’s her baby, he needs to hear her everyday
He keeps calling her cell phone number
for that promise made in her voice,
the voice he needs to hear,
Believing the truth as spoken,
that she’s just stepped out for a minute,
and she’ll call right back
If he could trade all eleven of his birthday wishes for one
he would ask that just this call be answered,
so he could hear,”Hi son, love ya so much sweetie,
I’ll be home shortly”,but his mommy died today,
So he goes to bed tonight, grasping her cell phone,
as it rests,as she did, on his pillow,
he gazes at the voice trapped inside
knowing it to be the last hug his mommy will give him
Her precious little boy curls up and cries out for her,
only her
Song Lyric Version
His Mommy Died Today
(V1)
His heart is crying
he’s so very young,
he doesn’t know what a dagger looks like
yet he feels one deep inside his belly
His breaths are taken between heaving sobs
he’s never seen a raging fire,
yet he feels one consuming his spirit
(refrain)
He cries. His Mommy died today.
Please answer your cell phone Mommy
please please oh please
I promise to be good
I know I could,
I have a sore tummy, please, pretty please mommy
(V2)
He’s her baby, he needs to hear her everyday
he keeps calling her cell number
for that promise made in her voice,
the voice he needs to hear,
believing the truth as spoken,
that she’s just stepped out for a minute
and she’ll call right back
(refrain)
He cries. His Mommy died today.
Please answer your cell phone Mommy
please please oh please
I promise to be good
I know I could
I have a sore tummy, please, pretty please mommy
(V3)
If he could trade all eleven of his
birthday wishes for one,
he would ask that just this call be answered,
so he could hear,
“hi son, love ya so much sweetie,
I’ll be home shortly”,
ButÂ…
(refrain)
He cries. His Momma died today.
Please answer your cell phone Mommy
please please oh please
I promise to be good
I know I could
I have a sore tummy, please, pretty please mommy
(V4)
So instead, he goes to bed tonight,
grasping her cell phone, as it rests,
as she did, on his pillow,
he gazes at the voice trapped inside
knowing it will be the last hug his Mommy
will give him,
(refrain)
Her precious little boy curls up and cries
out for her, only her.
His Mommy died today.
Please answer your cell phone Mommy, please
please oh please
I have a sore tummy
I miss you mommy

A poem remembering Jim the Dad, Friend and Husband: Dedicated in remembrance of Jim – A poem for his son and wife who miss him very much.
For Jim
It’s not these words that bring you peace,
Nor the memories that help you sleep,
For you turn a page to another day
knowing love sustained you
when he passed away
He too knew love through his
family and friends,
His time, though short, often lends,
a smile to a face, held up to the wind
He gave his heart the best he knew,
He shared his gifts, his laughter too,
You know he’s home now peering through,
as you begin your life anew,
I trust he’ll be there when you’re blue,
Watching over, Loving you.

Poem about the very complicated issue of a Mother’s choice: Dedicated to families who have endured this agonizing journey. An issue not to be judged, an issue strictly personal to each individual. Until we walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, what do we really know? Compassion, not judgement could be our words of choice. On a more personal note, I know two women who faced this choice, the way this ends, is how their story unfolded as well.
FOR EMILY
An afternoon stroll with a friend on a heated day,
Her hair perfectly swaying to her giggle bounce
Holding her tummy, proudly humming
“I have a baby on the way”
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For this Mrs
The sun shining inside and out
So lucky she felt that day, she has a baby on the way
Daddy holds mommy’s hand
He says, thank you honey, I love you so much
Our baby is lucky to have you
and I am blessed to wear our wedding band
A visit to the doctor turned perfect joy into shock
You are very sick he says
You won’t live with this life in you
Sit soon with your husband and have a talk
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For this Mrs.
The sun shines brightly on this day
Cause she still has her baby on the way
Her husband crying uncontrollable tears
Loving her so
He could never ever let her go
He can’t choose
he doesn’t want to lose
His wife or his child
She knew for her this baby was a voice
A wish she made so long ago
A wish come true
And there was no one telling her what to do
It was ultimately her decision, her choice
Six years have passed, and Emily asks,
“Daddy, when will I see mommy?”,
Today my sweet angel,
Today
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For this Mrs
The sun still shining on this day
as Emily kneels to pray
For mommy
Mommy had made her choice
And daddy still hurts so bad, he misses her smile, her touch
But he holds Emily today
with Mommy’s light warming them both
His deep love for Emily sustains him
On her birthdays
Hugs, kisses, dreams and wishes
For Emily
The sun still shining on this day
her hair perfectly swaying to her giggle bounce,
as she plays,
