A name poem hoping that a dead son has found life after death:

Martin died at twenty-four;

A second transplant failed.

Rest in peace, my darling boy,

The lantern of my life and joy;

In death find life unveiled.

Nor can one hope for more.

A fifth anniversary poem using a supernatural belief in angels as decoration:

Happy fifth anniversary!

Angels hover near!

Perhaps you cannot see them, but,

Pleased as punch, they're here!

Yet if you doubt, just listen,

For music does not lie.

In zillions they are singing;

For you they fill the sky,

Their rainbowed wings aflutter,

Hosanna-ing on high!

A name poem for a woman whose mentors are angels:

Natalie believes she's been with angels.

A few brought back her mother from the dead.

Though, of course, she lives in our age,

Awash in lust, greed, cruelty, and rage,

Like her mentors, she finds inner grace

In love of all there is. Life's joy is fed

Each day for her by truths that leave no trace.

A name poem for a woman who believes that angels are humans who died:

Janae sees the angels spread their wings

And speaks to them of life before they died.

None of them is sad, though sadness sings

As beautifully of where they now abide,

Eternal in an ether vast and wide.

An epitaph for a cat named Tiger:

There was no love more genuine than mine;

In giving and receiving it was pure.

Grieve not, for my legacy is pleasure,

Each memory a gift that will endure,

Returning gifts you gave me in my time.

An epitaph for a not-always-obedient dog named Nimrod:

No man or child could love you more than I.

In you I found my master, god, and friend.

Maybe there were claims I did contend,

Refusing to do this or that, but my

Only happiness was in your love,

Deserved or not, a grace my will would prove.

An epitaph for a cat named Morghan, who died early:

Maybe I was skittish among strangers:

Only you, my loved ones, owned my heart.

Racing into hiding, I would know,

Given time, the foreigners would go:

Here was home, in which they had no part.

As though I knew my fate, I dodged all dangers;

Nor could I alter it, for all my art.
