"To Those I Loved"
If I should ever leave you...
whom I love to go
along the silent way, grieve not
nor speak of me with tears.
I'd come...I'd come,
could I but find away.
But would not tears
and grief be barriers?
And when you hear a song
or see a bird I loved,
please do not let
the thought of me be sad....
for I am loving you
just as I always have.....
you were so good to me.
There are so many things
I wanted to still do....
so many things to say to you.
Remember I did not fear,
it was just leaving you
that was so hard to face.
We cannot see beyond,
but this I know, I loved you so......
twas heaven here with you.....

A Time To Rest
Dear daddy you have
Started the foundation
For us to carry on
You have always been a strong
Father and husband
Just as the frame of
A house supports
You have supported all of us
But the time has come for you to
Pass down your tools
To the one's to follow in your place
This is a time for you to watch
The fruits of your work
So as we carry on with what
You started we will
Wait for that gentle breeze
Or the smell of sweet roses
To assure us that you
Are pleased with us
A time to watch, a time
To relax, a time to rest
This was written by my son Michael
in memory of his Father.
