In Memory Of My Gran.

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, 'Peace be Thine'.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Im Free

Dont grieve for me, for now im free. Im following the path God laid for me, i took His hand when i heard Him call, i turned my back and left it all.

Still Missing You...

I lost you twenty years ago Yet I still shed a tear. It's been awhile but oh I miss you lots, I fear. Although I cry And sigh and moan Although you died I never feel alone.

R.I.P.

Goodbye to you I say, my sweet, You were caring, kind so here I tell you R.I.P.

Forever Young

So much hope and ambition, i remember the day. Taken too early, now so far away. Life emptied out, memories all thats left. Reality hits me, takes the breath from my chest.

R.I.P.

I'll miss you so much I thought of you as a friend. And I hope this life wasn't your end. You where so pretty with your blonde hair. And I bet you look even more pretty in heaven up there.

RIP Grandad

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

Cancer Is A B*tch

I'll stand here and listen Just a little while To the world waking up With a heartbroken smile It's not that you left me You had no choice I've lost you now That it stole your voice Imagine...

You Are Love

If I wrote a book it would be about you And how everything you tried to save just fell through.
