Michael Keenan Poems

Treasured memories, Oh so dear!
Oh how I wish that you were here
You're in mind both night and day
I'll never understand why you were taken away.
...

We laughed, we cried
We struggled and tried
Always there for each other
We had children three
...

Their camper van was ready to go
A countryside trip was their aim
The final destination they did not know
But their enjoyment was very plain
...

Love comes in many different ways,
It penetrates deeper than a kiss,
Love is in the air we breath,
In the things we touch and see.
...

Although she's gone you're not alone
She's in your heart, your mind, your home
Be not afraid or feel depressed
Her love of you will swell your breast.
...

I thought of you with love to-day that is nothing new
I dreamed about you yesterday and most days before that too
I think of you in silence and often speak your name
All I have are memories and you picture in a frame
...

I look all around the house
Things are pretty much still the same
Its eerie, quiet, just like a mouse
Alas everything speaks your name.
...

Airs and graces were not your style
Down to earth was more like you
With your captivating knowing smile
You seemed to know just what to do
...

You were there when I awoke
and at the breakfast table
Very quiet you hardly spoke
Not that you weren't able.
...

It doesn't matter what you do
Life is now all about you
Now you have the ultimate power
Of when and if you take a shower.
...
