Your light has not faded Mum xx

We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed
and sore;
We did our best to the end,
'Til we could do no more.
In tears we watched
you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts
were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some
aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you Mother dear..

"Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.


I’ll love my mother all my days,
For enriching my life in so many ways.
She set me straight and then set me free,
And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.

Liams poem -: Sad School Days

Nan I found this in Liams English book.

Coming home from the beach is fun,
Even more when it's on a school day.
But sometimes it can turn into a grey day.
Mum saying "I've got some bad news,"
Starting to give me the blues.
When I was told my eyes went pop,
Because the news was my nans heart had stopped.
For a few days I tried to forget,
But when I remember my eyes go wet.
I just wish my Nan was here,
If she was it would fill me with cheer.

When I look on the silver moon
I remember my mother's smile,
The warmth of her arms around me
The breeze of her breath on my brow
And I want her hear with me NOW.

When I look on the silver moon
I forget the many times
My rebel ways and cheekiness
Made my mother frown
And I want her here with me NOW.

From beyond the moon, beyond the stars
Beyond the deep, dark sky
My mother calls to me each night
"Judith I am here,"
And I call back "So am I"

My precious angel Nan

At night when the birds have flown away,
And the butterflies are gone,
There's one with wings that stays with me,
Whose spirit still lives on.
My angel sent from heaven,
And claimed back all too soon,
The brightest star in my dark skies,
The glow that lights my moon.
I know she's by my side each day,
And guides me where she can,
She's been there since I first drew breath,
My precious angel NAN.

To think I'll never hug her again,
Or see her knowing smile,
And sit and laugh at silly things,
Or talk of nothing for a while.
To smell her smell or hear her voice,
Would be a dream come true,
To have her hold me in her arms,
And whisper 'I love you'.
I speak to her when I'm alone,
And listen when I can,
In hopes one day she'll answer me,
My precious angel Nan.

Written for my beautiful Nan with love always your ever loving Granddaughter Anna xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

For My nan-the wind beneath all our wings.

"Wind Beneath My Wings"
.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.


Love you Nan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Someone's watching over me
I feel it in the air
That someone can't be seen or heard
But I know that they are there
It's someone very special, all around me and above
I know that they'll take care of me
They're watching me with love!!! xxxx

ON THE WINGS OF ANGELS

As you close your eyes and drift off to sleep, I am with you ♥ღ♥
When you face your darkest hour, I shall be there to take your hand ♥ღ♥
When you feel desperate and alone, call my name and I will hold you ♥ღ♥
When you stumble along life’s road, I again will help you stand ♥ღ♥
You were born on the wings of angels. And kissed by God above ♥ღ♥
Beside you I walked in silence. Surrounding you with love ♥ღ♥
With a gentle breeze, I touched your cheek and wiped away your tears ♥ღ♥
Together with a band of angels We shall face the coming years ♥ღ♥

As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering...
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?

For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgement, courage, and honesty?

I wonder if I've ever thanked you
for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?

If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now...
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

I Love you Mum!

♥ Stepping Stones ♥

The Lord came to me
Like a dream one day and asked
"Why do you sorrow?"
I answered
"Lord my life is so full of pain
I can't face one more tomorrow"
The Lord sat down beside me
And gently took my hand
He said
"Let me explain to you
And then you'll understand
Each sorrow is a stepping stone
You must surmount each day
And every stepping stone you climb
Is a sorrow that's passed away
The road of life is a mountainside
With crevices in which to be caught
But as you struggle on your way
I the Rock, will lend support
Every stepping stone you climb,
Makes spirit and heart grow strong
Exercising character and faith
This road seems painful and long
The way is paved with stepping stones
To uplift your heart and soul
Though difficult they aid your way
To a City paved with gold
I know that you are tired
For I too have walked this way
My sorrows did they multiply
But I cleared many stones away
I left my rock to lift you up
I left behind my story
To give you strength to make your climb
To that special place in glory
And never fear the Rock is here
You'll never climb this mountain alone
Surmount life's sorrows
Continue on
For they are but stepping stones
And you'll live on through me
I'll build a fortress by the sea
Where earth can touch the sky!
Where sunlight dances on the leaves
And dreams can never die
Where peace becomes a promise
And truth man's greatest cause
I'll stand today, I'll show the way….
And live for those I loved!
