Dedication Poems
Merry Christmas, Mom - Part VI
by Randy Johnson
The Christmas of 2012 was the last Christmas that you celebrated on Earth.
You were a kind and loving mother for 41 and a half years after my birth.
When March the 6th arrived, you wouldn't have a tomorrow.
It took two years for me to get over the pain and sorrow.
I can't spend anymore Christmases with you, now I spend my Christmases alone.
You were a terrific woman and the best person who I've ever known.
March of 2013 was the worst month and year that I've ever experienced.
When you passed away, it hurt me terribly and I've missed you ever since.
But I feel much better now, time does heal a man's wounds.
Merry Christmas Mom, I'm sorry that you died too soon.

Bill Maynard (1928-2018)
by Randy Johnson
A British actor entertained people as Selwyn Froggitt and The Gaffer.
During his 89 years of life, Bill Maynard gave millions the gift of laughter.
He starred in a few episodes of both 'Worzel Gummidge' and 'Heartneat'.
He starred once in both 'The Ugliest Girl In Town' and 'Coronation Street'.
When he died, it was hard for all of his fans to get a grip.
He died in a hospital not long after falling and breaking his hip.
It was twelve months ago when he passed away.
Sadly, we lost a talented actor one year ago today.

Dedication for a House
by Edgar Bowers
We, who were long together homeless, raise
Brick walls, wood floors, a roof, and windows up
To what sustained us in those threatening days
Unto this end. Alas, that this bright cup
Be empty of the care and life of him
Who should have made it overflow its brim.
Mother's Day
by Randy Johnson
It was seven years ago when you celebrated your final Mother's Day.
We had to bury you ten months later when you passed away.
Before you became ill, your death wasn't something that our family anticipated.
We made the doctors do everything they could, including having your leg amputated.
You became a mom in 1967 when you gave birth to my only brother.
You were a unique person and one of the world's greatest mothers.
[Dedicated to Agnes Greene-Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
A title never to be crowned, other than you
by Sahil Sawant
Let's not title it, let's not label it,
Let's break the ice, and enable it,
It's what my heart said, when I walked through clouds,
When my beats whispered, they heard it loud,
I'm back, to reign every fairy, with my silly words,
To vanish every doom, killing the nasty birds,
It's time for you, to wake up, and crawl, a quite long,
Don't wait for anyone, who may walk along,
You are a dawn, of yourself, know it, before they do,
As they are wishing to perish you, before you do,

a Dedication to a fellow-poet
by Peter Dr Lim
A dedication to a fellow-poet who wrote on the wonder of trees:
There was none around
dusk was about to set in
a tender voice I heard
it hardly made a sound:
'Under our warm shades you frolicked
so often as a child--such lonely joys you found

Sanctuary of Solace
by Ela Omoosin
In the embrace of womanhood, a heart's warmth resides,
Kindness bestowed, where humanity confides.
Guiding lost souls through the sea's gentle sweep,
A sanctuary of solace, where hearts find retreat.
Seeds sown by your hand flourish and bloom,
Eden's dream realized, dispelling all gloom.
Love's uncharted depths, a treasure so rare,
A sunflower's triumph, petals unfurling with flair.

Seven Hearts
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
The first one is for laughter
And infinite romance.
For smiling and for hugging
For giving me a chance.
The second is for hope;
And longing for tomorrow.
She opens up this heart
Whenever we face sorrow.

Freak Accident Prone
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
I was a diligent safety engineer, modifying the hazardous work practices,
Like the thrilling festive celebrations, when you open up pretty packages!
I took my work very seriously, and my motto had long been safety first,
Like waiting all the livelong day, for gone currant sun's huge color burst.
My word was always trusted, for people valued my professional opinion,
As pearlescent moon values jet darkness, when gazing on her dominion.
I made sure workers abided by safety rules, and it gave me satisfaction,
