When we lose a loved one
Our world just falls apart,
We think that we can't carry on
With this broken heart.
Everything is different now
You're upset and you're annoyed,
Your world it seems is shattered
There's such an awful void.
There's got to be a reason
And we have to understand,
God made us and at any time
He'll reach down for our hand.
There might not be a warning
We won't know where or when.
The only thing I'm certain of
Is we'll meet them once again.
Another year has passed us by,
and still we think of you and cry;
Precious are you in our hearts,
which are very much still torn apart.
Our angel in heaven is what you are,
Far, far beyond a distant star;
But one day soon again we’ll meet,
and YOU will be the one to greet,
each of us at Heaven’s gate,
with a hug and kiss, we just can’t wait!
I FEEL A WARMTH AROUND ME
LIKE YOUR PRESENCE IS SO NEAR
AND I CLOSE MY EYES TO VISUALISE
YOUR FACE WHEN YOU WERE HERE
I ENDURE THE TIMES WE SPENT TOGETHER
AND THEY ARE LOCKED INSIDE MY HEART
FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE THOSE MEMORIES
WE WILL NEVER BE APART
EVEN THOUGH WE CANNOT SPEAK NO MORE
MY VOICE IS ALWAYS THERE
BECAUSE EVERY NIGHT BEFORE I SLEEP
I HAVE YOU IN MY PRAYERS
Your in my thoughts x
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

My son Ian took his own life in september 2006, so I understand some of the pain you may be going through
Reflection
Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn't my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn't my intention to go without words said.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention to never see you again.
Despair and confusion left my aching mind unsure
It wasn't my intention to suddenly close life's door
If only I could give you reasons and brush the tears away
It wasn't my intention to leave you and not stay.
I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn't my intention to leave you, forever asking why
As the burdens of life's worries slowly ebb from my heart
it wasn't my intention to tear your soul apart
