When I lie in bed at night my vision is so clear,
I see a field of roses and I know that you are near.
And in a little clearing just beyond some trees,
I see a figure waving and he's looking straight at me.
With caution I step closer and what a sight I see,
my Dad is stood there smiling and he's coming closer to me.
He looks so young and happy, so well and so carefree
and as I stood there watching he gently said to me:
"My fight for breath is over,
of pain I am all free
there is so much that I can do
my soul is flying free.
So don't be sad and lonely
and do not cry for me,
I am very happy
I'm where I need to be.
So next time you feel lonely
and your thoughts are all with me,
just sit back and remember
this vision that you see.
Happy Birthday Granda Georgie xx
Hi Georgie, saw this poem and it made me think of you and what your girls meant to you and you to them...
My Dad, My Hero....
When I was a baby,
you would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness,
keeping me safe from harm.
I would look up into your eyes,
and all the love I would see.
How did I get so lucky,
you were the dad chosen for me.
There is something special
about a father's love.
Seems it was sent to me
from someplace up above.
Our love is everlasting,
I just wanted you to know.
That you’re my special hero
and I wanted to tell you so.
Happy Birthday Grandad, we all miss and love you every day; look after Gran and Angie for us (we know you will) and have a Keo or Stones for me ;) Love you, God Bless, all of your Grandkids and Great Grandkids xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
my brave, strong and lovely dad,
i wish i knew why god always takes the best, look in on us now and again, we miss you and the way you made us laugh,
love you, Louise, Andrew and Taz

My Christmas In Heaven....
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it's beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So, be happy for me dear ones, for you know I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above:
"My undying love!"
After all, "love" is the gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the many blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year
Dad ♥
