Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Remembering those we lost/Grief group 1 months agoTruck Stop in Heaven
Matthew L JablonskyI wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
With a restaurant attached.
A salad bar and a buffet,
And a payphone in the back.The coffee’s always hot,
And the food aint too bad.
I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
So I could talk to my Dad.He says “I’m flyin over Montana,
just dropped a load of rain.
I’m headed down to Dallas,
And then up to Maine.No more haulin’ produce,
Gasoline or TVs.
Cause up here in Heaven,
I’m haulin’ prayers and dreams!”I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
With a restaurant attached.
A salad bar and a buffet,
And a payphone in the back.The coffee’s always hot,
And the food aint too bad.
I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
So I could talk to my Dad.“This rigs as big as a mountain,
You can see me from where you are.
It’s no Freightliner, no Peterbilt,
It’s an actual Western Star!My Jake-brake is the thunder,
The exhaust makes tornadoes!
Man, it means so much more
to be the king of the road,
where the streets are paved with gold!”I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
With a restaurant attached.
A salad bar and a buffet,
And a payphone in the back.The coffee’s always hot,
And the food ain’t too bad.
I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
So I could talk to my Dad.I’d tell him that I miss him,
every single day.
“Wish you could just stop by,
and meet my wife,
when you pass by this way.”He tells me not to worry,
That one day he’ll meet her.
But if we look up at night,
we can see the lights,
of his 18 wheeler!I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
With a restaurant attached.
A salad bar and a buffet,
And a payphone in the back.The coffee’s always hot,
And the food ain’t too bad.
I wish there was a truck stop in Heaven,
So I could talk to my Dad. -

Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Poetry group 4 months agoValentine's Day
Matthew L Jablonsky“It’s no big deal.”
“It’s just another day.”
That’s what girls think,
or at least, that’s what they say.February 14th,
can come and go.
No need to make a fuss,
or put on a big show.But it doesn’t take much,
to put a smile on her face.
A stuffed animal, a box of chocolates,
and some roses in a vace.A little bit of effort,
goes a really long way.
To show her a piece of the love,
that you feel every day.Life moves so fast,
it can all start to blur.
So take a little time to show,
that you still choose her. ❤️-
Matthew, I absolutely love this poem! I’m sure that she would love you no matter what, but the fact that you take the time to show your lady that you care about her probably impacts her more than you know. You are right that Valentine’s Day is “just another day,” but it is also another opportunity to show her how much you care. Thank you for…read more

Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Poetry group 5 months agoHer Ex
Matthew L JablonskyI know I’m supposed to hate you,
and by all rights, I should.
You’re the man who loved her before me,
and you didn’t treat her good.She came to me so broken,
her trust was crushed to pieces.
I worked so hard to mend it,
Bringing her flowers and Reese’s.You never liked her laugh,
So she buried it like a coffin.
I love her wonderful cackle,
and I make her do it often.She told me about the fights,
all the yelling and the hurt.
The only time we raise our voice,
Is when we’re singing in church.You never liked her family,
and her family never liked you.
But when I walk in the door,
They all cheer “MATTHEW!”I’m glad you didn’t treat her right,
You taught her a valuable lesson.
And made me work for her love,
With a pure-heart intention.I’d like to say that losing her,
Was the biggest mistake of your life.
But you did all the right things,
to send me my wife.So I guess I can’t really hate you,
I don’t have a reason.
In a weird way, I love you, man…
and thank you for leavin!“Her Ex”
-Matty Jablonsky-
Matthew what a beautiful poem! I love it and hope someday I find a good, kind, compassionate and faith filled man like you. 🙂

Omg, another brilliant piece. I absolutely love this. May we all be with or find a partner who wants to heal our past wounds and loves our laugh. You are such a gem. I love your heart! Thank you for sharing your gift with us! <3 Lauren

Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Poetry group 5 months, 3 weeks agoChristmas Come-Down
Matthew L JablonskyThe tree is still lit,
the walls are adorned.
We celebrated the day,
our savior was born.The gifts are all opened,
The presents are done.
The family dinner,
is now left-overs for one.Everyone got home,
safe and sound.
There’s still a few shreds,
of wrapping on the ground.The house is so still,
everything is quiet.
I can hear my heart break,
amid all the silence.I already miss it,
having my family all there.
The sound of their laughter,
filling the air.But life must go on,
the world keeps on spinnin’!
I wish it would stop,
or slow down for a minute.Going back to work,
feels somewhat surreal.
Coworkers are great,
but family is real.One thing I’ve learned,
as I’ve gotten older;
The worst part of Christmas,
Is when it is over.-
Thank you Matthew for this wonderful heartwarming poem. It is sad when the holidays are over and we return to our normal lives until the next holiday. It is heart filling hearing family laughter and watching everyone enjoy their meals and gifts.

As always, I love your poetry. And I love the sentiment in this piece. I featured it in our newsletter today. <3 Lauren

Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Remembering those we lost/Grief group 7 months agoBroken New Years
Matthew L JablonskyThe year is almost over,
And another will soon start.
This year, however,
I’ll begin with a broken heart.I’m missing my loved ones,
My friends who’ve recently passed.
I miss their sweet voices,
Their smiles and their laughs.It was supposed to be a Merry Christmas!
Another photo in the album!
Then suddenly that changed,
to the first Christmas without ’em…I screamed up at God,
“CAN YOU JUST TELL ME WHY?”
“ARE YOU EVEN UP THERE?!”
“AM I JUST YELLING AT THE SKY?!?!”I fell to my knees,
and started punching at the ground.
When suddenly I realized…
My loved one’s are all around…They’re right here with me,
Feeling all this pain.
Does that mean they feel the sunshine?
Does it mean they feel the rain?Maybe they’re not as gone,
As the world seems to say.
Maybe they’re right beside me…
Every night and every day!If they’re here with me,
Guiding my every move…
Then I know that I can make it!
Because there’s nothing they can’t do!This poem is dedicated in loving memory to my friends Alex Wisniewski, Joe Ewer, and Tammy Pouliot, but it goes out to anyone who has lost a loved one.
You are not alone. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow, this poem almost brought me to tears. Your words are very heartfelt and gave me insight that I am not alone on this grieving journey. At times, I scream and feel alone. But I am learning that there are other people who understand the grieving process and that it is not easy. Thank you for your kind words and confidence in sharing your…read more

Hey Matt, I watched my father slowly pass from lung cancer. And my mom is only getting older. Three cousins passed,2 were younger than me and passed due to drug addiction. And a bunch of guys I grew up around do to gun violence. But one thing I learned in recovery is life don’t get better we get better at life.

Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months agoMan's Best Friend
Matthew L JablonskyI love my dogs,
I really really do…
But there are some aspects,
like when you take a back-step,
and wind up stepping in pooh!They chew, they bite,
they scratch, they knaw.
When you’re watching a movie,
they’re licking their paw!You’re sitting at the table,
waiting for dinner to start,
when along comes your dog,
and lets out a fart!You all start gagging,
and gasping for air.
His tail starts wagging,
He doesn’t even care!When you meet new friends,
and go to their door.
Your dog walks in,
and pees on the floor!They dig, they shed,
they claw, they shred.
They get in your laundry,
and make their bed!With all that they break,
and all they destroy,
they’re still the best little girls,
and good little boys.When you come home,
from a long hard day,
they’re always right there,
and ready to play.They love us so good.
They love us so well.
Even when our world,
is going to hell.When my heart is broken,
and the tears start to flow,
I run to your shoulder,
and let it all go.You won’t be here forever,
so I try to make it the best.
I focus on the good things,
and forget about the rest.Whenever our bond is broken,
I know it always will mend.
That’s why they call you,
“Man’s Best Friend”.-
Hey Matthew. Thank you for sharing your humorous story about your best friend! I needed this laugh today. Dogs are almost like children. They torment through our belongings without a care in the world, but it’s absolutely out of genuine curiosity. “They chew, they bite” reminds me of my father’s American Bully that he had. Our dog would chew right…read more

Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months, 1 weeks agoWrong Side of The Bed
Matthew L JablonskyThis morning I woke up,
on the wrong side of the bed.
I found myself where
my wife lays here head.The pillow smelled like her,
and her shampoo.
The blankets were still warm,
so what did I do?I cuddled in,
as tight as I could.
I thought about her,
and it felt so good.This is the place,
where she finds her rest.
Right beside me,
with her head on my chest.At the end of her day,
when her worries are done.
She lays right here,
like the setting of the sun.This pillow is guilty,
of messing up her hair.
It’s her place to hide,
when I come to “wake the bear”.These blankets keep her warm,
through the winters bite.
They shelter her from bad dreams,
that haunt her in the night.I dont know it was,
but I don’t feel the same,
Someone somewhere,
Gave waking up on the wrong side of the bed a bad name. -
Matthew Jablonsky shared a letter in the
Poetry group 7 months, 1 weeks agoWhen the Trees Lose Their Leaves
Matthew L JablonskyWhen the trees lose their leaves,
their vail falls away.
They stand before us, naked,
and the skies all turn gray.Trees don’t go out looking,
for something to fill the space.
They wait through the winter,
wrapped in its cold embrace.They don’t waste time worrying,
wishing that they were warm.
They know it’s just a season,
and soon new growth will form.I’m sure they miss the foliage,
they had the year before.
But when God takes something away,
He always gives back more!So when you face a loss,
that brings you to your knees,
know that it’s just a season.
Like when the trees lose their leaves. -
