1. My Aunt
I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Her work on earth is done."
Many aunts hold a special place in the hearts of their nieces and nephews. Aunts are often a source of good, unbiased advice and wonderful friendships. Understandably then, coping with the loss of an aunt can be especially difficult. Many people find solace in crying, talking, and writing about their aunt. Sharing special stories about an aunt with others and reliving shared experiences can keep her alive in memory. It is also a way to celebrate the value of life and family relationships and even validate our reason for living.
I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Her work on earth is done."
I lost my Aunt this year on January 7, 2019, after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She was 54 years young and loved poetry. I read this poem at her service, and I'm so glad that I did...

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear.
I just keep wishing you were still here.
I will hold all the memories deep in my heart.
Through these memories we'll never part.
Just like you, I lost my beautiful Auntie early Friday morning. Her soul joined the sun while rising. She was diagnosed with cancer in June 2015. It was a long, fierce battle. She used to...

I thank you for the kind words and for being that beautiful you,
For listening to my side regardless of whatever you had to do.
Thank you for the gifts of love and for going out of your way.
Thanks for that great "just us girls" day.
I wonder what you really thought
And what was on your mind
The answers to those questions
You never seemed to find
Until that day, I'll think of you,
the love we shared, the memories too.
Until that day, I'll think of you,
This is a very comforting poem. My dear Aunt Hermelinda passed away from breast cancer at the age of 51. She was such a beautiful person. She was fun and easy to talk to. I wish I could hug...
A smile can mask
our deepest fears
but it doesn't wipe
away the tears
You laid there in that hospital bed;
you tried so hard to hold on.
God was calling you home.
This poem is dedicated to my Aunt Jody. She took her last breath today with all of her loved ones surrounding her. She was a courageous woman that lost her battle to cancer at the age of 61....
End of her sufferings that stretched so long,
Yet all I can think of is a melancholy song.
And everyone's feeling the same sorrow,
For the day will start without her tomorrow.
Life is too short.
It's not enough,
but we must understand
that if we live it in love and faith,
My aunt was 34, and I loved her so much. She will be missed.
Life is full of pain and sorrow.
You're here today,
Gone tomorrow.
I know that you're dead and you're gone for good
It's hard to accept, but now I've understood
Nothing lasts forever, even if it's good or it's bad
Now you're up in heaven; it makes me feel glad
God we don't ask you to make our lives easier but we ask for the strength to give us to face our problems, our lives and our enemy
I reckon I miss you
and I probably always will
This is so hard to get over
like swallowing a bitter pill
My aunt just died a week ago. Thank you for your poem. It hasn't been easy. Your poem made me feel better.
Auntie, I miss you and love you so very much.
Every day I go by without your single touch,
It is not over, I won't weep and cry
For it is not the end, I will not say goodbye
Beautiful Angel outside and in
She's very calm and sees no sin
Beautiful Angel went up to heaven
So peacefully she never noticed
