It's nearly four years to that very sad day,
when the angels flew down and took you away.
from the pain on this earth they made you anew,
and up into heaven, you hurriedly flew

and once up in heaven beautiful white wings you did grow,
and spread them so wide again, you're an angel, I know.
and happy I am that your pain has now gone,
but sadness has fallen on me and my mom.

so up in the sky you will watch over us,
and say as you used too, 'Julie don't fuss'
but dad that's how we were, so loving and giving,
a feeling we shared whilst here, when still living
'singing in the rain' a film I remember,
with sadness and heartache, our last time together,
your beaming wide smile, made me feel oh so safe,
I still see it now, from your heavenly place

your wish has come true, dad, that’s how you're remembered,
as that 'good person' our hearts they are tendered
so many friends, and a special family's love
we send it to you, up there, up above.
so dad, catch this kiss as I send it to you,
and hold it and keep it, my heart is so blue.
and when it is time I will be at your side,
to close your white wings and wrap me inside.

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 daddy dear

If you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say;
Do not wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent;
The long forgotten message,
The wealth of love unspent.
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them,
Before it is too late.

A Letter to Dad
We left you Peacefully asleep in your armchair
after spending the day with you,
That day you had drifted in and out of sleep
but you had woken with a smile,
a few words or a sing a long to a film
Little did we know that was the last day
that you had with us Dad.
You Passed away in the early hours of the next morning.
28th Febuary 2004
Our Hearts were broken.


God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

We little Knew that day
God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly
In death,we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us beautiful memories
Your love still our guide
And though we cannot see you
You are always by our side
Our family chain is broken
But as God calls us one by one
The Chain will link again
