My Angel Marirose |

Hello,

My name is Hiram Gensler. This site is a memorial to my wife and partner of sixty-six years, Marirose Lind (Lawrence) Gensler, who passed away from Alzheimer’s disease on September 15, 2008.

She was a very loving and kind person; always ready to help someone. She inspired me to write about our lives together through poetry. I can only say good things about her, and have many memories of the times we shared together. These memories are the basis of all these poems, which reflect my feelings for My Angel Marirose.

She enjoyed life; was a good sport and would always do her part. Through the good times and the bad, we stayed together and made things work. These poems are a testimony of those years. She was the mother of six great children who love her dearly.

We hope you enjoy spending time here reading the story of our lives, and our love affair that is still ongoing…it will last forever.

Please read the Legal Document below in case you wish to use any of these poems.

Please come back often!

Thank you.,

Hiram Gensler

Happy Birthday Neil my friend, I pray we're friends until the end. Protect that smile and happy face, For you are one we can't replace. You're a joy to be around, For our circle of life needs a clown. To cheer us up when we get sad, Through all our trials, both good...

Five years have passed, since I held you last, And felt your kiss as light as a feather. Truly I say with an aching heart, I miss you now more than ever. I scan the sky as each day goes by, I see your beauty as the clouds float by. As your image is formed in a cloud...

The Reason for the Christmas Season

by Hiram Gensler | January 19, 2014 | 2012, All Poems | 0 Comments

It's not the pretty Christmas tree, all decked out so bright, It's not the deer out in the yard, with all the pretty lights. It's not the shopping with it's rush, push, rush about, Buying selfish things for us, we just can't live without. Don't let yourself get caught...

Park Hill South’s Powerful Panthers

Those fighting Panthers are on the prowl with a hiss, They want to be tops, the best that there is. They work as a team, in all that they do, To the team and each other, they're Loyal and True. As a volleyball team, they're something to fear, They competed like...

School was out in '42 . and we were ready to soar, An exciting life lay ahead, but the world was now at war. We lived with guidance from above, We were truly and helplessly in love. Right on the heels of the great depression, We joined the fight to save our battered...

This morning as the sun arose, I thought of my lovely Marirose. The longing of my lonely heart, Made my day so hard to start. Then I thought about other times, When we were young and things were fine. We were in love, we really cared, As we lived our life, our love...

Walk Again With Me

I'd like to take you by the hand, And walk our paths again. Sharing memories of all we've done, Since our lives had first begun. We'd visit the past of years gone by, Back to our teens our minds would fly. We'd remember important little things, That we had forgotten,...
