Remembering you is easy
I do it every day
It's just the pain of losing you
That never goes away

Happy 21st Birthday Sweetie

There are some we meet in passing
And forget as soon as they go
There are some we remember with pleasure
And feel honoured and privileged to know
You were that kind of person
Who leaves beautiful memories behind
And there will be many days
Which will bring fond memories to mind

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?

Remembrance Day

**************************************

We wear a poppy on Remembrance Day
and at eleven we stand and pray.
Wreaths are put upon a grave
as we remember our soldiers brave.

Thinking of you and your family today Joshua.
With Love Always Jan xxx

Demi so angry even more since you've been gone she has lost her brother who she adored crying silently in her room thinking no one can see her tear stained face

For Josh

A searing flash, a dreadful boom,
No more thoughts of bride and groom,
The future gone, all plans awry,
He was not meant to go, and die.

His job is done, the tributes say,
Yet colleagues stay there, in harms way,
And will remain, for years to come,
To fight, under a hostile sun.

Like all the soldiers, brave and bold,
They go and do as they are told,
Whilst we, the safe, whom they protect,
Can offer little, but respect.

The pain we feel for the departed,
The left, the lost, the broken-hearted,
Will lessen, maybe, given time,
For we've not sacrificed our prime.

But they will never slip too far,
From mind, no matter where we are,
The brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers,
Children, friends and grieving lovers.

Such promise now stays unfulfilled,
Their future stopped when they were killed,
The irony is - WE soldier on,
And love them still, though they are gone.

Fear Naught - advice we all should take,
Regardless how our hearts may break,
For we have learned that life is brief,
Our dreams were stolen, death the thief.

The hero, now, and evermore,
Stands just beyond life's fragile door,
He smiles his smile, looks down, and then,
He waits 'till we all meet again.

Miss you mate x
