Every first of every twelfth
We brave the Chelmsford cold
I'd like to say we toast your health
But we can't, if truth be told
It's a day like any other
But it's spent among the graves
I come to support your mother
As she cries the tears she's saved
This year you'd be twenty five
I'd have called you son
But you were not blessed to stay alive
Taken as life had begun
We'll leave a small toy car
We'll lay fresh flowers too
We'll wish upon a christmas star
Knowing angels care for you
But it's not a time for sadness
It's your birthday, and we remember
We visit you with gladness
On the first day of December

We miss you more. Each passing year. Twenty four now gone. Without you hear. Taken from us. Just eights months new. No life lived. So sad but true. Your present this year. Like each one before.

No One But You
A hand above the water. An angel reaching for the sky. Is it raining in heaven. Do you want us to cry. And everywhere the broken hearted. On every lonely avenue. No one could reach them.

When I'm Gone
Read my name on stone, forever here i lay. Look up to the night sky, i'm never far away. If i don't wake up, do not shed a tear for me. Decisions define us all, but right here i'll always be.

@eddie12309 I'll try that again, Good Morning ☕ Yes, sad but true. This is for Mrs Lee, the wee man passed before I came along, and would only have been my stepson, but it's been a part of my life too for 13 years now. Time as a healer has definitely worked for her, but she sheds a tear naturally. Xmas decs go up today and stay a month. I think you can probably understand why. 👍❤❤❤
@leelee101 morning to you too. I thought that by your choice of words, but nevertheless her feelings will be yours. It looks like it will be a beautiful day to remember. 🌈
@TheCodsPollocks it is sad jimmy, but as they say time is a healer, and seems to be that way for her. She still gets teary, but it's not so much the upset, more what may have been, and it's all about fondly remembering with a smile. ❤❤❤
@sarahgamal aw Sarah, don't be. It's sad of course, but we deal with it better each year. As the piece says its not really a sad time anymore, more a small happy birthday celebration. It's ok hunny, thank you. ❤❤❤🌹
I really feel this one, December is a sad time for us too but like you said times a great healer sending you lots of hugs my thoughts are with you both 😓❤
I have two to remember in the same way. I don't find it sad any more, they are still real to me and I know I will see them again one day. It's a lovely tribute Lee! ☺😘
@crowncottage thanks Linda. Yes I think the sadness and pain left her quite a while ago actually. But the visit still brings a tear naturally. Good day today tho. 👍❤🌹
