Whatever
Forever
hope to recover
to rediscover
living in the past
time passing fast
need to let go
everything so slow
life moves on
need to move on
easy to hang on
harder to move on
no need to forget
always will regret
have to realise
the need to finalise
yeh right whatever |

|
|

This was read at Antony's funeral. It brings me a great deal of comfort. I hope it might help bring some comfort to someone else.xx
And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
--behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
--both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.

|
|
|
I sit and I cry, lonely tears in vain
I'm crying for all of my lost children and the pain
My two precious sons who never had a chance
What did I do to deserve this
My beautiful angel who I lost so young
And now I go through it again and again
To lose my little girl but it's not the same
You see Davy my love she's going away
Leaving me to live through each frightening day
She found her true love and it hurts like hell
Because I know that I made it happen
I used to think he'd be like you
He was sweet and kind and mummy's friend
I never knew then that he'd take her away
Far across the ocean to a better life
I wish you were here to comfort me but you're not
My life's such a mess
Such a hell to be in
I can't carry on but I have to
You see I have others
My mind's a complete jumble
Oh how can I let go
Let her fly away from me just like you boys did
Leaving me heartbroken.....
Please boys give me the strength that I seek
The comfort and solace as I feel my heart break
Watch over your sister in her new home far away
Take pity on me too as I try to live on
One day it will be over and I won't have to think
Of all my children both dead and alive

|
|
We are just two of many parents
Whose wonderful child has died.
We may find support and kindness
But still we hurt deep down inside.
There are also so many children
Whose parents are no longer at their side
They too feel the pain and sadness
In everything they do in their lives
We walk a path not chosen
We live each day with grief
Still the days come and go
and we feel there's no relief.
We can’t change what has happened
Although we wish we could go back
To a time when we could hug our kids
And talk, and love and laugh.
Our friends will never realize
What they have added to our lives
Their our angels who can share our grief
And let us talk and ask the “Whys”
This Mother’s Day my wish would be
That we share the love we’ve lost
With those that need that helping hand
For kindness and caring have no monetary cost.
Mother’s Day 2007

|
|

Elle
Elle, though we never met,
(A fact that I will always regret)
I find myself often thinking of you,
And of all the simple things you’ll never do.
You’ll never get to see the world
Or go to school with other boys and girls,
You’ll never hold a teddy bear,
Or feel the breeze run through your hair.
You’ll never smell fresh baking bread,
Or spend a cold night tucked warm in your bed,
You’ll never wish on a shooting star,
Or know how precious you really are.
And though we’ll never know for sure,
What your life had in store,
We can be certain of this at least:
You will always be loved and rest in peace.
So hush my darling, you won’t cry,
Let our hymns be your lullaby,
Sleep well, angel, we hope that you knew,
That now and forever, we’ll always love you.
In loving memory of Elle Anne Murden (22nd–24th April 2007).

It was love at first sight
Your tiny fingers curled around your father's thumb,
Nestled in my arms you said hello to your mum.
Welcome son, we'll enfold you with our love
We'll try and protect you & show you what's right.
As you grew from babe to boy
Your smiles and laughter enriched our lives.
Late to walk, early to talk we watched you thrive
We watched you stumble get up and go on
We watched you learn & shared your joy.
As you grew from boy to man
We shared your achievements & uncertainties
We watched with pride as you left university
Your stride longer your grip firmer
A boy no more but a comapssionate man.
We knew it was inevitable that you would go traveling
You went with our blessing and with our love
Should I have sent a prayer to the Lord above?
You'll never be lonely for that we are certain
As you went on your way we did'nt know our life was unraveling.
There is constant change everywhere
We see your tears in the rain
We see your smile in the sun & stars, this eases the pain.
We remember the love you gave to us all
And know that your spirit is with us here.
Please stay with us always through all of our days.
We know with certainty we will meet again
This helps a little to ease the pain.
We know you are with us in the sound of the wind
We feel your presence in the warmth of sunrays. |

Missing You
No words I write can ever say, How much I miss you everyday
As time goes by the loneliness grows, How I miss you nobody knows.
I think of you in silence, and I speak your name,
But all I have is memories, and a photo in a frame.
No one sees me weep as I cry myself to sleep.
The Love I have for you is in my heart to keep.
I will never stop Loving you, I know I never will
Deep inside my heart, you’re with me still.
My heart still aches as I whisper low. I need you Jemahl, and miss you so
But I know you are in Gods precious arms
And he is protecting you from any harm
There is a place in my heart. That no one can fill. I love you and I always will.
Happy Birthday - Love Ma

As the days flutter away,
Like autumn leaves falling,
My sunshine has gone,
Dark clouds are all I can see
Now you’ve been taken from me
The flowers have wilted
Colours seeped away,
All I can see is black and grey
Stuck in this monochrome existence
My rainbows been wiped away,
Never to come out and play
To light up my day and make me smile
But shining up in the clouds
As dazzling and beautiful as ever
Some day I shall see my rainbow again
And I shall be able to smile
As the colours return.

"Your child's death was one second in his/her life. If you stay focused on that one second, you will erase all the precious memories Your Child has brought to Your Life"
Those words meant absolutely nothing to me 12 years ago. I was engulfed in grief and my only focus was to be with my son. For seven years there wasn't a moment that went by where I did not wish my heart to just stop. Stop Beating!! Please Just Stop!!
The guilt I felt at the thought that someone might see me smile, or be seen out having a good time...they would probably think that I had forgotten about my son. I remember speaking to a mom who had walked in my shoes but she was further down the road in her grieving and after a lengthy talk I was appalled..."I coud never feel like that"...."I could never possibly go on with my life"...and...How Could She!
Then on December 7, 2001 I received a phone call telling me that I had a beautiful little grandson. I made a 3-1/2 hour trip the following morning and walked into a hospital where they put this precious little boy in my arms. For the first time in seven years I looked up and said "thank you".
Joshua Robbie can never replace Robbie however the joy my grandson has brought to a very empty and dark soul is unbelievable. Joshua has resurrected all those wonderful memories Robbie left us with. Now stories are told and Joshua has come to love and truly know an uncle he will never get to meet.
I do know that one day my heart will stop beating and on that day my son will be waiting for me.
For now, I could not picture Joshua's life without me in it.
Remember, "Your Child LIVES" in those who speak his/her name. |

the love between a mother and daughter is a bond of the strongest kind. it is a love of the present, interwoven with memories of the past and dreams of the future. it is strengthened by overcoming obstacles and facing fears together. it is having pride in each other and knowing that our love can withstand anything. it is sacrifice and tears, laughter and hugs. it is understanding,patient and believing in each other. it is wanting only the best for each other and wanting to help anytime there is a need. it is respect, a hug and kindness, it is making time to be together. it is an unconditional, forever kind of love. all this i have lost and i am bereft. |

Robbie Dunbar
One winter day, I awoke to a son
The most beautiful gift, all rolled into one
Our bond was deep, not like any other
The deepest of love, known only to a mother
As a youngster, Mom had to be in sight
Or Rob would cry and put up a fight
As a teen, he would come and go
The places he went, Mom had to know
Sharing, caring, endless giving...
Is the way my son believed in living
His dreams and goals, for now a young man
So often we talked about life's great plan
In a single heartbeat, left behind to grieve
Wondering why my son had to leave
No hug, no kiss, no words of goodbye
How does Mom go on, or do I even try?
I still have your sister, this is true
We both agree, she can't be you
For with each child a mother bears
A special bond forms, which only theirs
Sixteen forever you will be
Your dreams now buried inside of me
Never to share another year
Memories I'll hold forever dear
This indescribable pain of losing my child
Does not go away, not even for a while
All four seasons still come and go
My precious son, I miss you so
All so often I feel the stone
That bears your name, not yours alone
For right beside you, will lie your mother
Then peace and serenity will be like no other
Love Always Mom xxxooo |

IN LOVING MEMORY OF A WONDERFUL SON AND LOVING DADDY
LIFE IS JUST A RIDE
""The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people.
"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you very much, you've been great."

Its your birthday today Ricky, you would have been 30 years old. It will be 2 years July 8th since you left me and I miss you so. These are the words to the song by G4 which I will always think of as my song to you.
"To Where You Are"
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

|
|
|
This is a song not a poem, but it has been the only thing that has given me comfort since my Grandmother passed almost a month ago. She raised me, and made sure we watched at least one old movie a day. This was our song, and I have always thought of it as poetry. I hope now she is in heaven, and finally got her dance with Fred Astaire.
Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note
Though by tomorrow your gone
The song has ended, but as the song writer
wrote, the melody lingers on
They may take you from me, I'll miss your
fond caress
But though they take you from me I'll
still posses
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no they can’t take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No no they can’t take that away from me
We may never, never meet again, on
the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No no they can’t take that away from me no,
They can't take that away from me

Don't cry, baby sister.
Big sister is here.
Don't cry, my baby sister.
And please don't feel my fear.
I never hold hands.
But I'm doing it today.
I'm holding your trembling hands.
What's that I hear you say?
I'm here, baby sister!
Getting pushed behind these people.
I won't leave you, you're my sister.
Still I hold your hand tight.
And don't let go.
How will I tell my family?
Do they even know?
I can't face them, not now.
Its all my fault.
I'll tell you how...
I took you to that busy road.
Didn't think you would go..
I gave you a push, to get you across.
Never knew what would follow.
I should have paid more attention!
I could have lost you for good!
This feeling to too horrible to even mention.
If I could turn back time, I would.
If it had of been me.
And it almost was.
I would now be up in heaven, that's where I wouls be.
But you were different.
They don't know how you survived.
This is a sin, from which I can't repent.
Into a pool of darkness, I have dived.
So young, yet so broken.
Don't cry, baby sister.
Please don't cry anymore...

|
|
|
A message to my colleagues, who will never understand.
As you stand there and watch me,
I wonder what you see.
You see me from the outside,
That’s not the real me.
I go about my business,
Turn up for work each day,
I try to be efficient -
But my thoughts get in the way.
Sometimes you see me laughing,
At the funny times we share,
Sometimes you see me happy,
As if I haven’t got a care.
But as you stand there and watch me,
As I go about my day,
You see me from the outside,
So what else can I say?
I see me from the inside,
My heart is split in two.
You go about so happily –
I wish I could be like you.
For being on the inside
Of me with all my grief,
Makes getting up each morning
Harder than belief.
There are reasons to be happy -
My family, my health.
But I’m tired of being an actress,
I want to be myself.
When I see me from the inside,
I see a big black hole.
There’s nothing there but darkness,
No heart, no mind, no soul.
So as you stand there and watch me,
Please don’t just sympathise,
Try looking from the inside,
Try looking through my eyes.

Will someone answer these questions please.........
Is there a better place you have been taken to?
Do you no longer feel any pain?
Is there really a place called heaven?
Can someone please help me and try to explain.
I have been left with many questions and no answers
My heart broken now for the last five years
I feel empty inside, I exist from day to day
Yet still forced to shed so many tears.
One question I can answer though,Is that my love will never fade
That you brought happiness and joy to my heart
I hope these questions in time will not haunt me
Till that day, when we shall never be apart.
