Thinking of all our loved ones who have past, Christmas can sometimes make us miss them even more, may they all have a fantastic party up in heaven, heres hoping it's a swinging one :angel:
This is a poem that I wrote for my aunty Ger who passed away at a young age of 39
God said to noah there's gona be a floody woody
God said to naoh there's gona be a floody woody
Get those out of the muddy woody chidren of the Lord
Strolling beside the canal
This is the song we sang
Leading us was your Mum
Oh boy did we have fun
Smiles on our faces
Laughter echoed the air
Happy to be alive with out aunt how didn't have a care
Listening to her tell a story, tears would roll from our eyes
She had qualities that no one could touch
And that is why she was loved so much
Her curly brown hair and gap in her teeth are the memories everyone will keep
Her passion was fashion, colours everywhere
Remember the suade patched jacket she ran everywhere
Poppies vivid in the golden sun
Memories flow back of Ger and Mum
Oh how our summer times were filled with fun
Her children were her life
Even if they caused her strive
She kept them near
Chasing away their childhood fear
As the stars twinkled at night
Ger would be out of sight
Singing and dancing in her favourite bar
Shining like a star
As the leaf fell from the tree
And hit the wet ground
It was then we realised what we had found
A soul filled with cheer
A happy face in sight
It was just too early to say goodnight
"When we live, enjoy the love for some its too late"

Remembering our past loved ones at Christmas
MsHotkatt ,
Beautifully written hun …………
With sorrow in my heart I have nothing to say as I hope this poem says it all …………
Gifts for you ill lay ……….
I did not get to hold you gently , to show how much I cared,
I would have done for hours and have done nothing but stared.
Not your tiny little hands no bigger than my thumb, did I get to see,
Nor your tiny little face to look upon as you should have with me .
Nor will i see you grow to be a success at everything you should ,
You was not a quitter , the lord knows you were good ,
it was I who failed …… You my son this my heart is broken ,
The tears I cry are for lost , the sorrow off what should have been ,
The tears I do not cry ill carry to heaven to with me …
And there at Our Lords gate , I shed them for you to see ,
There my son ill hold you , never to set you free ,
There my son I pray you’ll see I never meant to fail thee ,
You are everything to me ……………..
You will always be remembered and as gifts for you ill lay …
This and very Christmas ,
until the angels come to bring me to thee …………………………

Tomirs :kiss: *You were vibrant, full of life,
always laughing.
You looked out for me,
Hauled my hay in,
You loved wild birds,
Always rescuing injured and abandoned ones
You never showed your softer side
Only to me.....
Your little sister,
You left so quickly,
I never got to say goodbye,
And I think of you always
And carry you in that special place in my heart
Reserved for you
You loved Christmas
Merry Christmas
Big Brother*

This is a wonderful thread, this is a poem a friend sent me on the passing of my baby, it made me angry at my friend at first but when i read it properly it made me cry with the thought that was in it. my friend didnt write it.
The Existence Of Love
I had thought that your death
was a waste and destruction,
A pain of grief hardly to be endured.
I am only beginning to learn
That your life was a gift, a growing
And a loving left with me.
The desperation of death
Destroyed the existence of love,
But the fact of death
Cannot destroy what has been given.
I am learning to look at your life again
Instead of your death and your departing.

God’s Lent Child
I’ll lend you for a little while
A child of mine†God said –
For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be six or seven years
or forty 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, should his stay be brief,
you’ll have his nicest memories
as solace for his grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return
but, there are lessons taught below,
I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the whole world over,
in my search for teachers true,
and from the things that crowd life’s lane
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love,
nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I come to take
this lent child back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
“Dear Lord Thy Will Be Doneâ€
for all the joys thy child will bring
the risk of grief will run.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness,
we’ll love him while we may,
and for the happiness we’ve known
forever grateful stay.
But, should thy Angels call for him
much sooner than we planned,
we’ll brave the grief that comes
and try to understand.
Angel Flying To Close To The Ground
If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tried to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up
Than see you down
Leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.
An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.
A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.
Many memories in my mind,
Some I laugh, Some I cry.
The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.
Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
Only memories, Of what once was you.
Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.
No more smile on your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...
To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.
A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.

No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...
To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.
A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!
My Grandmother
In my Rose Garden of memories
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care
I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I am missing you so much these days
how empty my world seems
People say time heals all wounds
that someday the pain will subside
But Grandma I can tell you
I think they musr have lied
The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak
These days go by without you
so deary and so bleak
In my Rose Garden of memories
I know you'll always be
for though your're gone
from this mortal world
In my heart you'll always be
Thinking of you at this time loveheart
In my Rose Garden of memories
I see you standing there
An angel in disguise
Who taught me how to care
I long to hear your voice
for real not in my dreams
I am missing you so much these days
how empty my world seems
People say time heals all wounds
that someday the pain will subside
But Grandma I can tell you
I think they musr have lied
The emptiness I am feeling now
is strong and I am weak
These days go by without you
so deary and so bleak
In my Rose Garden of memories
I know you'll always be
for though your're gone
from this mortal world
In my heart you'll always be
Thinking of you at this time loveheart
Little Angel Unknown
A little angel unknown I, am, my place is as an angel in a secret land.
I didn't have a name as such, you didn't get the chance,
I wasn't meant to live on earth just touch you by the hand.
I've been sent to touch your lives and I know you’ll think that cruel,
but its only special people that are chosen exceptions to the rules.
I knew you would love me from the very start,
from that first sighting & beating of my tiny heart,
so I know that it will hurt you that you have to say goodbye,
but I am your guardian angel now and I'll dry the tears from your eyes.
I'll be there by your side wherever you now go,
I will hear you speak of me often & what I might have been if I'd grown,
I'll be the special angel in the picture that you have,
I'll remind you of my brother & my dad,
I'll have your little features all of you as one
& I'll love you always as my special mum.
You might not have got to see me as a living breathing thing,
but I'll be the ribbon around your heart and my love will be deep within,
this pleasure I promise will be mine,
to be your guardian angel from now until the end of time.
I'll gift you with my presence every night within your dreams,
walk always as your special unknown angel
gifted to you within just for a short while,
so think of me often and smile,
For I, am your very own special unknown gifted child.
