Shirley Loftis Poems

As long as you love me,
I'll stay by you're side,
I'll be your companion,
You're best friend and guide.
...

Thinking, feeling the way I do when you hold me near, Baby there is no better feeling, felling the way I do.
Wishing, praying please tell me i'm not dreaming, this feels good please tell me baby you feel the same way, that this is really real.
...

Dear God I come to you humbled, in pain, and all alone. Not knowing which way, or whom to turn to, needing guidance a new pain to be shown.
I ask you for your mercy and comfort in this time so great.
For my heart has been broken, it hurts so bad, it's to much for me to take.
I left it wide open, got careless, let the walls come tumbling down.
...

Sometimes i'm dying inside and I just want to find some where to go and hide.
Sometimes I wounder why i'm still alive, and without my kids sometimes I just want to die.
Sometimes I ask God why? Everyone took my babies and all they did was lie.
Sometimes I wake up and don't want to get out the bed, I get scared sometimes cause I don't know what's ahead.
...

I love you with all my heart,
I love you with all my soul,
I love you for all life challenges you help me uphold,
I will love you always.
...

When you was born and they put you in mommy's arms.Mommy cried and I was so happy my heart was so warm.
You're smile and you're little hands mommy loves watching you, how adorable you was reaching for the sky.
I know you three have grown over the years, mommy misses you so much I have shed so many tears.
I have such a big hole in my heart, i'm never going to give up, i just don't know where to start.
...

Every breath you take, every time you get up and want to go to the lake,
Every time you talk all you do is lie, don't worry you have to answer to God He is here just look up beyond the sky.
Every time you wake up, do you thank God or do you realize what you did and try to fix it.
When you get up do you thank God you're alive, or do you really not care, you're just worried how your going to survive.
...

Some kids are not as lucky as me and have a mom like you are, no matter what I did or do I know you love me and you will always care.
I love being you're only little girl, I love cooking out with you and how goofy you are on the grill.
I know that you are proud of me and how much I have grown, and how much you hate being alone.
God gave me an amazing mom and mom's like you are a precious gift, I love how when i'm hurt or down you always come and give me a lift.
...

I know how it feels to be all a lone, going crazy missing you and just wanting to know,
Missing those little hands, and missing how we use to play in the sand,
I wish you three were here with mommy and daddy now, so I can hold you and tuck you three in at night,
Mommy misses all those breath takers, and I miss buying you you're favorite sneakers,
...

Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee,
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
...
