The Chain
They say there is no reason, they say that time will heal
But neither time or reason will change the way I feel
For no one knows the heartache that lies behind my smile,
No one knows how many times I have broken down and cried
I 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
I cannot bring the old days back when we were together
The chain is broken now but memories live on forever
Thinking of you at Christmas
Not a Christmas Day goes by when I don't miss you and think of you
Each thought is of you, everything I do reminds me of you
Each picture and each memory brings both a smile and a silent tear
Not a day goes by when I don't wish you were here, I wish I could spend this day with just one more time.
To my dearest Alan
Life has changed since losing you
Nothing is the same
All I have are memories
And photos in a frame
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why
All those years together
I thought we'd never part
But you will remain my darling
Forever in my heart
our DAD
If we could write a story
it would be the greastest story ever told
of a kind and loving father
who had a heart of gold
If we could write a million pages
but still be unable to say
just how much we love and miss him
every single day
we will remember all he taught us
we hurt but won't be sad
coz he send me down the answers
and he'll always be our dad
miss you denise
poem read out on the day you went to heaven
RIP X
For our loving Dad and Grandad x x
Remembrance is a golden chain,Death tries to break,but all in vain.
To have,to love and then to part,is the greatest sorrow in ones heart.
The years may wipe out many things,but some they wipe out never,like the memories of those happy times,when we were all together.
A year has gone by so quickly Dad,you are loved and missed so much by all of us. R.I.P XXXXX
For My Dear Husband
He's resting now, just beyond my view. In peace he sleeps, contented that his love will help me through. I look for him in rainbows and in every sunny day, and that reminds me that he's never far away.
My lovely husband
My dear Alan was a loving, caring, gentle man till the cruel illness of dementia took over. Although he changed in the last 4 years I still have the wonderful memories of a life with a lovely man, who would do anything for his family and friends. I feel very sad because he missed out on so much since his illness, although he was happy and content in his world, always had a smile, never sad, ask his carers!!
Dad
