He Gave Me Poetry

By Cigi Paige

This book is a collection of poems about everyday life. There are poems for those that are hopelessly in love. There are poems for those who are dealing with grief and the loss of a loved one. Some of the poems are about being triumphant in the midst of trouble. Though every poem in this book tells its own story, they all have a common goal. Each poem is aimed to inspire, motivate, and caress the mind and heart of the reader. I believe that God gives everyone a gift. Some are blessed with the gift of music. Some are blessed with the gift of creating beautiful canvases. As for my gift, he gave me poetry.

Cigi Paige

Cigi Paige is a licensed nurse who began writing poetry at a young age. She always kept a notebook and pencil ready to record her many thoughts. She would write poems as a means for all her thoughts and feeling to escape. Cigi never thought to share her poems with anyone. It was not until the death of her brother that she decided to share her poems. Her gift of poetry became known to many after her poem “If You Only Knew” was recited at her brother’s funeral. Since then, she has been requested to recite poetry at funerals, weddings, and other gatherings.

Saying Goodbye

"Never miss a chance to tell a person how u feel about them

because tomorrow isn't promise to anyone. Swallowing your pride will prevent you from getting choked on regret..." ~Cigi Paige

If You Only Knew

If you could see me now, I promise you wouldn't cry

There's so much fun that I'm having up here in the sky

I've never seen so much pearls and the streets are paved with gold

I am having a ball up here and the half is yet to be told

And Jesus, he's as sweet as he can be

When I first arrived here, he introduced the angels to me

I know your heart is in pain

Because you think that you won't see me again

If it was vice versa, I would cry for you too

I would want to hold you again, yes, this is true

But if I'd known how happy you would be

I would smile for you, so, please, smile for me

I dare not tell you not to cry just know that I am always
