POEMS
Thank You for Leaving Us Your Sons
They bring us life, as once you did for them.
Although we cannot hope to salve their grief,
Nor fill their cup of joy back to the brim,
Know your flame of love has been passed on
Your memory will help our love along
Out of pain their happiness to win
Upon the sweet green fields of our belief.
loving you forever your daughters Lisa & Cassie
A Poem for Mum
My weighty burdens you helped carry
And led me across a perilous journey
Till I was soundly safe and comfy
And then you left me quietly
The infinite pain in my heart
When we reluctantly had to part
Flung me into sorrow and despair
And made each day difficult to bear
Exactly 2 and a half weeks since you left
17 days I have been bereft
Of your loving motherly touch
That I yearned for so very much
It felt as if it was only yesterday
We had much to share and say
To bring joy into each other’s life
Where laughter and bliss were rife
You are one truly remarkable being
Versatile, intelligent and inspiring
In you I found the strength of mind
To overcome obstacles of every kind
Yet now I am forlornly searching
For that very strength in surmounting
This difficult trial that has come to pass
The pain that is so hard to get over alas
So with tears of blood and anguish
I tender my most heartfelt wish
That you have found perpetual calm
In the comfort of Jesus’ loving arms.
LOVE JASON
Holding Hands
As I sit and hold your hand,
I think of how I became a man.
It was your love that nourished me
And made me what I chose to be.
Now that you will soon be leaving,
Know that I will spend a lifetime grieving;
For you, my mother, gave to me
A lifetime of love so naturally.
Reflecting on memories of our past,
The love you gave will always last.
Always mindful of my needs,
To succeed in life you planted seed.
The hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is to say goodbye when your life is through;
For you have been my dearest friend,
And it breaks my heart to see it end.
LOVE MAL
May the winds of love blow softly
Whispering for you to hear
That we will always love and
Remember you
And forever keep you near
There’s a place in our hearts
That is yours alone
A piece of our lives no one else can own.
You are here with us when the sun comes up
And when the sun goes down
You’ll guide us through the winding roads
And look down on us when we feel alone.
Tears we’ll cry so many times
For the heartache that we feel
We’ll miss you with each breath we take
And keep our memories real.
To you with love we send you this
A message to tell you this
No matter how far apart we are
You’ll always be greatly missed.
With all our love Heath & family
