Thinking of the years we shared
Im so lost without you
I loved you from the very start
And this you always knew
You was my first love
And this you'l always be

I'l join you just you see
Wait for me in heaven dear
I believe its beautiful there
Cant wait to be with you again
When i climb those heavens stairs

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY MY LOVE.
I DONT WANT DIAMONDS
I DONT WANT GOLD
ALL I WANT IS YOU TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
I WANT YOU SO BAD TO BE BY MY SIDE
SO I DONT HAVE TO KEEP MY FEELING LOCKED INSIDE
INSIDE MY HEART WHERE NO-ONE CAN SEE
I SO WANT YOU TO BE PART OF ME
TO BE BY MY SIDE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
KEEP ME SAFE AND KEEP ME STRONG
I WANT TO BE HERE FOR YOU TOO
TO SHARE PRECOIUS MOMENTS THAT MUCH IS TRUE
TO GIVE YOU LOVE ALL YOUR HEART CAN HOLD
THAT TO ME IS BETTER THAN DIAMONDS OR GOLD

Dear lord before i sleep tonight,
I need a few answers please,
Ive asked so many times before,
But this time im begging on my knees.
Why did you take my loved ones away,
I just need to understand,
Are they all happy up there,
Walking in your land.
Do they know who i am,
And can they still see me,
Is there really life after death,
And are they flying free.
Lord alls i want is just one hug,
just one last little kiss,
To let them know that i still care,
Dear lord thats all i wish.
Well again i have no answers,
But i will try again tomorrow,
One day you must answer me lord,
And take away my sorrow.
But for now my lord,
I lay down to sleep,
Close my eyes,
And try not to weep
I WILL JOIN YOU........
MY DEAREST ANGEL I SEND YOU LOVE EACH DAY
I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR THE WORDS I HAVE TO SAY
FOR EACH AND EVERY WORD IS SO VERY TRUE
I WILL NEVER EVER GET OVER LOSING YOU
MY HEART IS SO FULL OF HEARTBREAK AND SO MUCH PAIN
YOU KNOW I WILL NEVER EVER BE THE SAME
FOR THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US SEEMS SO FAR
NOW FOR ME YOU ARE THE BRIGHTEST STAR
THOUGH THE BOND OF LOVE WILL NEVER BE BROKEN FOR ME
LOOK INTO MY HEART MY HUSBAND AND YOU WILL ALSO SEE
JUST HOW MUCH I MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH
I MISS YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE I LONG SO FOR YOUR TOUCH
THEY TELL ME THAT MY LOSS IS HEAVENS GAIN
MY HUSBAND EVER CALL YOUR NAME
FOR IN MY HEART YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER MORE
UNTIL WE CAN BE JOINED TOGETHER AT HEAVENS DOOR
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS WAIT FOR ME
UNTIL THE DAY THAT I AM FINALLY FREE
FREE TO SPEAD MY WINGS AND I WILL FLY
BACK TO MY ANGEL RESTING IN THE SKY.....
I wish I could see you one more time
Sitting on the couch or come walking through the door
But, I know that is impossible
I will hear your voice no more
I know you can feel my tears
And that you don’t want me to cry
Yet my heart is broken
Because I can’t understand why
My loving dad had to die
Though somehow I will get through
As I struggle with the heartache
That was caused by the loss of you
I love you dad
I don't know I've lived and breathed without you being here.
I've only just existed, and now its been another year.
Facing everyday is a messive task,
life without you feels like to much to ask.
I don't know how I'm surviving withgout you Harry.
The pain, the pain, go's over and over, and again and again.
Ripping at my heart is what I feel, smacks in the face.
Blows in the stomache, this pain is very real.
Live isn't fair as I now know, for this pain I know will never ever go,
Nothing can make this pain stop, thoughts and feelings of you are all I've got.
Dread, fear, loneliness the lot.
thoughts of you going around and round.
I wish I could curl up in a ball somewhere never to be found.
I can't go anywhere where your shoes may have trodden too many memories,
where you have been, what you have done,
memories of you hurt, but will never be foregotten,
I can go places where your shoes never did tred
Theres no memories of you b eing there in my head.
Photo's of you are everywhere, but I can't look at, its to hard to bere.
I miss you so much, it hurts and hurts, I think of your passing, the things
we will never share anymore.
I'm devastated, my worlds fell apart, I'm now living with a hole in my
broken heart,
This, me I, that I carry, is now my shell, for now I have died insife too,
This live im now living, is now my pure hell.
Life go's on for other people, rushing around with their feet firmly on the ground
To me its a big wide world out there, I hate it when they look or stare,
Feels like groundhog day,thats what it is.
everyday the same hurt and pain.
I'm stuck in this rut, and I can't get up.
I'll carry on dreaming, searching for you,
crying out you name, trying to find you everywhere,
I will look for you my beautiful husband.
One day, Harry my Love, I will find you somewere in the
big blue sky.
And then I will know, that we don't die,
Cuz, I've found your face, I've ot to the right place.
When I've found you, I know that you'll be waiting for
me at heavens gate.
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
I always told you that you were the apple of my
eye. and without you I could not go on.
But now that sparkleis gone, because I thought
you would always be with me.
From the first day that you came into my world
I'll never forget how we held each other close
to our hearts.
I could still remember all our years togather.
There were many good ones, and yes there were the tears.
How I long to hold you close again.
I never wanted this to end.
If I would have known it was your time to go.
I would have asked God and pleaded to take me too.
You're gentle heart and kind words.
And I still remember that you liked to eat
all kinds of chineese food.
You were loveing and you were funny.
And now I sit here alone.
Wondering if I would have left first,
what would you have done?
And oh how I miss you but this isn't how it was
supposed to be
Since you left there's not one day that goes by that
you're not in my mind
I talked to you often, greet you in the morning, and how I
long to have you in my bed at night.
In front of family and friends. I put on my happy face.
But when I'm alone, the tears just pour and pour.
I feel them as they race.
When people tell me that I am strong.
I think are they kidding me pretending as if there is
nothing wrong?
I would never want anybody to go through this I ponder.
I still question God and ask Him why he took you away.
But you were here for a while. He say's that's why you
couldn't stay.
I think I was left here alone for a reason.
I'm still trying to figure out why, after each season?
I have held you in my arms and done the best I can.
I pray that God will hold you close.
Just remember in my heart you are a special one.
and I will always proudly tell the world.
"That you were my husband.
Each and every day.I feel my heart that aches.
And that's pretty much each morning as to how I wake.
I try to keep a happy heart and remember all the funny
things you did and said.
Like when you made me laugh or told me something funny
that you made my face so red.
There are tons and tons of great memories
I'll keep close to my heart.
I'm told that being and is how you wouldn't want me,
nor to lose it or fall apart.
But why so soon, I keep asking why.
God only knew that it was your time.
I will do all the right things so that in Heaven
I'll be welcomed in.
I know I cry and cry each day.
But please forgive me if I cause you any pain.
And when it's my time to leave this world.
And everyone will say she's gone.
I know my Love you will be waiting for me to
say Welcome Home.
And that's the plan that God has for us.
Love you hon, and miss you will all my heart.
It's been four years since you left and it
seems like just yesterday. Rest in Peace
my Love.
~~~~~~~~~~GRANDAD~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This man taught me lots of things
When I was only small
How to wield a cricket bat
And how to catch a ball
He was the one who nurtured me
Inspired me to thrive
He taught me how to ride a bike
Much later how to drive
He’d sit with me and read
Explaining many things
And so I came to understand
The joy that books can bring
He walked with me down leafy lanes
We would talk for hours on end
At one time I would even say
That he was my best friend
He told me many a story
A moral there within
I learned so very much
So very much from him
I remember as I grew
He was my inspiration
My Grandad who had helped me
Develop my imagination
I think of all the rides on
your wheelchair, and all
the fun we had riding through
the stores and being so proud
in telling everybody this is my
Grandad.
And so I thank you Grandad
As I say goodbye to you
I’ll remember you with love
Till we meet again we two
Destiny and Dakota
Grandchildren
