They say that time is a healer, Dear Lord that is not true, The day you took my dad, You broke my

If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving father
Who had a heart of gold
If could write a million pages
But still be unable to say, just how
Much I love and miss him
Every single day
I will remember all he taught me
I'm hurt but won't be sad
‘cos he'll send me down the answers
And he'll always be MY DAD

Please go look after my dad
I miss and love him so
He was such a lovely man
It hurt that he had to go

They say there is no reason
they say time will heal
but neither time nor reason
will change the way we feel...
For no-one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles
no-one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried...
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
you're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without...♥

Grandad was the best.
With his grey hair.
Always there.
And head of the chair.
You never ever missed a trick
Nothing ever got past you I knew.
You always made me smile
Even when I was sad.
You could make my sun shine.
Now your chair is empty
Im all alone
I miss you so much.
Why did life take you back?
You were my friend.
You always listened
Now you have gone
Nothing is the same.
Im so lonely.
But I love you still
I love you every single day.

THE Angels are here,
I heard my Dad say.
There are three on the roof
Their not leaving today.
There is one very tall one
And one to each side,
Could they possibly be my guides?
Go and get my glasses so I can see.
I think the angels Are here for me.
Though IM afraid,I will go even though
I know You will be missing me so.
I need a white balloon that I can ride.
To fly with the angels Across the sky.
Remember I Love You, And it was all not in vain.
My name has been written And gone is my pain.

This Poem is What My Brother Wrote to Discribe Our Wonderful DAD,
Just after my Dad Died
·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:·
God had to take you from us,
He wants to make you well,
He wants to make you better,
Away from your painfull hell,
He will give you peace and comfort,
He will give you eternal rest,
Because god only takes the ones he loves,
He only takes the best,
Dad we know thats we will never part,
Your there right now inside our heart,
I know the doctors they did lie,
You did not moan,you did not cry,
You took it all in your giant stride,
You did no cower,you did not hide,
You took the news just like a man,
You took it only just like my dad can,
You kept your dignity all through your pain,
But not once did you complain,
So go on dad have a rest,
Go on and let your new lungs fill your chest,
Your now back to normal after your rest.
God bless you dad

The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures, he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his
name's sake,
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with
me, thy rod and staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; my
cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever

Light a Candle
Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the gravesite.
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.

ALTHOUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN US
MEANS WERE MILES AND MILES APART
I'LL KEEP YOU CLOSE BESIDE ME
AND FOREVER IN MY HEART.

Tributes For Week Starting 2nd November
FOR MONDAY
There's a special kind of feeling,
That's meant for you alone,
A special place within our hearts,
That only you can own.
FOR TUESDAY
If only prayers were answered,
& wishes did come true,
Our only wishes with all our hearts,
Would be to still have you
FOR WEDNESDAY
We send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of our precious angels
And give them all our love
FOR THURSDAY
I lit a candle for you today
May it's light reflect my love your way
Now I must go until next time
I will forever keep you, gently on my mind
FOR FRIDAY
Angels
When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings.
FOR SATURDAY
Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,
"I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed
While you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
FOR SUNDAY
Reply to "Letter from Heaven"
My Dearest Loved one:
I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.
I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear.
I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.
When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.
The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.
I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.
I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go.
And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky.

♥ The Only Way ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
• The only way we can be protected from the pain of loss and the grief we feel, is by having never loved.
• How empty our lives would be, and what a lot of wonderful shared moments we would have missed, if we had not known.
• So, although what we feel at the moment is terrible, we must try to remember that it is because we have all been privileged to have known and loved, that we now feel the pain and sadness.

Prayer of Faith.
We trust that beyond absence there is a presence.
That beyond the pain there can be healing.
That beyond the brokenness there can be wholeness.
That beyond the anger there may be peace.
That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness.
That beyond the silence there may be the word.
That beyond the word there may be understanding.
That through understanding there is love.
