(23/5/02– 4/9/02)

With aching heart and tears unseen
Wishing your absence was only a dream
Time goes by and emptiness grows
We miss you more than anyone knows.
What we would give your hand to hold,
your face to see
To be together as we used to be
Even though we never had a chance to say goodbye.

Love Mummy

GOD LENT CHILD

I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of mine, God said
For you to love him, while he lives
And mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty two or three.
But will you till I call him back
Take care of him for me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you
And shall his stay be brief
You’ll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lane
I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate me when I come to call
To take him back again.
I fancy that I heard them say
Dear Lord, thy will be done.
For all the joy the child shall bring
The risk of grief we’ll run.

 

From Father to Son

To my son, I love so dear
I will forever hold you near.
In my mind and in my heart,
We shall never be apart.

Till the day we meet again,
Life will never be the same.
A part of me has gone away
I shall miss you every day.

I love you my Son, my life will be better,
From our special time together.

The best part of my life has gone away,

To see Angels play.
