I Thought Of You With Love Today

Funeral Poems : I Thought About You With Love Today.

I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too,

I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.

I Thought About You With Love Today

hello. I Think that the

hello. I Think that the proper poem goes like this:
I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and the days before them too,
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
now all I have is memories,
and your picture in a frame,
your memory is my treasure,
with which I'll never part,
i know your up there in heaven,
but you're down here in my heart.

it has been changed alot and different people have claimed copyright. the caption you were talking about is in a song. I think that may be when it originally came from. google "we thought of you with love today song" or put it in you tube and i think you will find it there. I hope i helped x

It's a lot long than that. It

It's a lot long than that. It goes like this

I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
and the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence,
I often say your name,
But all I have is memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.

I shed tears for what might have been,
a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you,
the day God took you home.

The Golden Gate stood open
He saw that you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come with Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
Your heart full of love stopped beating
your happy little hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
that he only takes the best.

I read the first line from

I read the first line from this.. I instantly thought of my grandma who passed away about a year and a half ago. I still haven't been able to accept the fact that she's really gone.. I know in my mind she is but not in my heart. I was reading through these comments and I saw the full version of the poem, I don't think anything has ever spoke so loud to me. I had just turned 14, 4 days before she passed.. it was the worst moment of my life. The only things I can remember is visiting her at the hospice house, the first time I had gone to see her they had her on so much medication she couldn't think straight, I had never seen her in such a state.. it was awful. She would respond to the tv like it was talking right back to her, she asked me to bring her, her slippers so I did. She threw then and said she didn't want them. I was so confused. I had no clue what was going on.. I left the room and went and found my mom.. the last time I saw her was the night before she passed. I remember my mom, my aunt, my uncle and I being there. I had to leave sooner than I had wanted but I had school the next day. I didn't get to tell her I loved her and hear her say it back.. I didn't know she was going to be taken out of my life.. the next morning my mom came into my bedroom and didn't turn the light on like she normally did.. she came and sat on my bed, I saw she had been crying from that moment I knew exactly what had happened.. my brother was at my cousins house so I wasn't able to hug him as tight as I could.. I remember not being able to know what to think, say, or do. So I went to school. It seemed unreal.
September 17, 2009 5:00am was when she passed.
Still at age 15, after 13 years of being, 'Her girl', her best friend, her grandaughter, I can't come to realize she's actually gone. I love that woman more then I love my own parents. I just wish, I could see her one last time.
I'm sorry this is a CRAZY long comment but this is exactly what comes to mind when I read this..

I love this poem - It

I love this poem - It incapsulates evrything to feel and want to say my mum. I have printed it onto a piece of acetate and wrapped it around a large candle that I light (frequently) when I think of her and for special occasions - like I am talking to her. I have also given it to my family to light.

I would love to know who wrote this so I can give credit and acknowedgement for such beatutifully crafted words that give me a sense of connection and serentiy to my beautiful mother.

I Thought About You With Love Today

Hi guys i wrote this poem. I've up loading it on lots of site, but can never remember them, i wrote this poem for my brother kevin few yrs ago. hope you all like cheers beck.

Beck, unless you want loads of spam and junk phone calls you should NEVER leave your phone number or email on a forum!

This poem has certainly been around a long time (it's on some quite old tombstones) so it would be interesting to know how old you are.

You said in another email that you'd written loads of poems and would like to share them. You can do so by simply clicking on the "Add a Funeral Poem" link at the top of the page. For clarity, if you wrote it, you should also add a copyright sign under the poem, then the year you wrote it, and your name.

Once something is on the internet unaccredited, it tends to get copied and it's almost impossible to then prove ownership as (if it becomes popular) everyone in the world seems to want to claim they wrote it.

Most modern poets add their name under and claim copyright when first publishing the poem, then everyone knows. Most of the poems on the site do have known authors as it's rare for poets to only write one poem. Usually they've written a few that end up being published with a known publishing date and author.

question

When were you 11? I have a 13 year old student who claims to have written this poem.
Thank you!

SITE ADMIN EDIT: LOADS of people have claimed to have written this poem. If your 13 year old student wrote it, it must have been in a previous life I'm afraid. The poem was certainly written more than 13 years ago!

HI

I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE THIS POEM VERY MUCH THIS POEM IS EVERYTHING ABOUT MY BROTHER TODAY IS ONE MONTH 2 WEEKS SINCE HE GONE I MISS HIM EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY HE IS ALWAYS ON MY MIND AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART FOREVER AND EVER MY BROTHER LOVING AND CARING I LOVE YOU KURT FROM ABOVE

"I Thought of You With Love Today" or "God's Garden" ?

Well first I would like to say that the part in this one that says "It broke my heart to lose you but you didnt go alone for part of me went with you the day God took you home" is wrong, and IT DOES NOT belong with this poem.

That verus is from poem called "God's Garden".

When trying to make a poem one must not use or steal verus from another. A true poet can make there own amazing poem with out the help of others. This one is too long and it reall drags out. Its bad.

SITE ADMIN EDIT:

We originally only put one verse of the poem on here, and Virginia later added three verses including the line you've quoted.

I think, Courtney, that both you and Virginia are probably correct, and I'll try and explain why.

The poem has certainly been around a long time, and undoubtedly started off with about twenty verses. Over the years people have made it a lot shorter, but everyone who has changed it has chosen their own favourite bits. There's no harm in this surely. If you wanted to use verse two, verse five, and verse fifteen of a poem at a funeral because they were particularly meaningful to you, you'd be quite entitled to do so. If listeners then said, 'That was a nice poem' and thought that was all there was, then it may eventually be reprinted in that short version.

The best example I can give you is old hymns and old Christmas carols, most of which were originally written with many more verses than are ever sung today (20 and 30 plus in many cases). If you open up a hymn book that's 100 or so years old you'll see them all. If you look up a modern hymn book you may see four or five (or even fewer).

The thing is, if you look at the same hymn in a Southern Baptist hymn book, an Anglican hymn book, or a Catholic hymn book, you will often find that they have chosen completely different verses. Sometimes they have even chosen different first verses, and as hymns (like poems) are usually known by their first line, they are sometimes thought of now as different hymns.

Similarly with poems. Many poems written a long time ago were very long. Over the years people have chosen the bits they like and made shorter poems, sometimes even mixing up lines from one verse to the other.
