Alan was my partner and best friend for 19 years. He was my right arm and i miss him so much We met at the bingo hall where he worked and we hit it off straight away.He had a fantastic sense of humour and could make me smile even when i was in a bad mood.He loved to be out and about as he used to put it and would get up on his day off from work or at weekends and say get up lazy its a lovely day and off we would go to the railway station, see whichever destination took our fancy and hop on a train.He took on the upkeep of my four children and sometimes had a hard time with them but in time they began to love and respect him.Alan had been ill in the January 07 he had been in hospital with a heart condition his heart was beating to fast and the hospital were trying to regulate this. they took him to theatre and stopped his heart then restarted it which worked. Alan recovered well and two weeks before he passed away he went back nto work. On the thursday 6th september i was at work and Alan came to the shop to do the shopping, he looked great,that evening i went home and my son who was visiting with his daughter told me that Alan had gone for a nap and that he had only been in bed for half hour so i left him for a hour then went up to wake him. As soon as i went into the room i knew something was wrong.Alan had passed away in his sleep.

~♥ With Love ♥~

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

Will i always feel like this
That life is so unfair
Im so sad and so lonely
When i need you,youre not there

Nothing can ever change this
For time is moving on
Now all i have are memories
Happy days now long gone

*~~*~~*~~*~~*

All the love you gave me
I keep deep in my heart
For sure i know that one day
We will make a brand new start

*~~*~~*~~*~~*

You know just how im feeling
So ill say nothing more
Just be there to guide me
Walking through Gods golden door

Tears instead of wishes,
Flowers instead of cards,
You left us precious memories
That will stay within our Hearts

~♥~

Instead of a card
We send our love
Instead of a gift, a Prayer
To the one we thought the world of
And miss beyond compare

The tears streamed down and I let them flow as freely as they would,
making of them a pillow for my heart...♥ On them it rested.

♥ Walk Slowly ♥

If you should go before me, dear, walk slowly
Down the ways of death, well-worn and wide,
For I would want to overtake you quickly
And seek the journey’s ending by your side.
I would be so forlorn not to descry you
Down some shining highroad when I came;
Walk slowly, dear, and often look behind you
And pause to hear if someone calls your name.

♥ By Adelaide Love ♥

You're Gone

You're gone ~ now I'm alone.
Quiet mourns with lonely sigh.
My heartbeat echoes softly,
as I watch a lifetime die.

You took with you tomorrow,
and you left me with today.
Today that's softly crying,
crying out for yesterday.

You left behind your memories.
Bittersweet, they call my name.
They don't realize you left them,
in the wind from which you came.

You took with you my laughter,
and you left me with my tears,
to cry upon dream's pillow,
when I want to hold you near.

You left behind your easy chair,
and the favorite book you read,
your slippers and your favorite shirt,
now rest upon the bed.

You took with you a lifetime.
You left behind your soul.
A soul that fills my lifetime,
with this little band of gold.

The Reddened Rose

The beauty of the single rose
That lay below the brambled stem
It gently dies at sweet day’s end
No more to feel ~ life’s warmth within

~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~ ** ~ ~

My heart is like the reddened rose
Whose life has bled upon the ground
Fading with each passing breath
A heart that beats ~ without a sound

A silent silence ~ no one can hear
As deep within the pain grows strong
While thorns do prick the heart’s veneer
Sorrow sings ~ its lasting song

The bleeding heart that beats in me
With silent grief ~ of roses past
That lived in gardens of my life
Oh, they have breathed their earthly last

Withered petals’ sweet repose
Now undisturbed ~ they rest alone
As memory caries on the wind
Their beauty rests beneath the stone

I walk upon this hallowed ground
Where the lonesome wildwood grows
My heart will ever linger here
To bleed upon the reddened rose…..

Leaf after leaf drops off,
flower after flower,
Some in the chill,
some in the warmer hour:
Alike they flourish,
and alike they fall,
And the Earth who nourished them
receives them all.
Should we, her wiser sons,
be less content
To sink into her lap
when life is spent?

ღ Signs ღ
(By Jamie Van Der Meer)

My angel sends a butterfly,
To land upon my arm.
They send me signs to let me know,
They’re safe & loved & warm.

My angel sends me rainbows
On a cloudy day.
I understand that they are near,
And things will be okay.

Today they sent me snowflakes,
From a sunny sky above.
I could feel their presence,
And the power of their love.

My angel sends me little signs
In the moon and skies
The signs are subtle, yet I know,
They're meant just for my eyes.

I look for all these little signs,
To comfort me each day.
The signs can even make me laugh,
My angel loves to play!

These signs are The Creator's things,
And you might think it's odd,
To believe my angel sends these signs,
They do...they’re one with God.
︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽︽☆︽
ღ Pax ღ
(By D.H. Lawrence)

All that matters is to be at one with the living God
To be a creature in the house of the God of Life.

Like a cat asleep on a chair
at peace, in peace
and at one with the master of the house,
with the mistress at home,
at home in the house of the living,
sleeping on the hearth, and yawning before the fire.

Sleeping on the hearth of the living world,
yawning at home before the fire of life
feeling the presence of the living God
like a great reassurance
a deep calm in the heart
a presence
as of a master sitting at the board
in his own and greater being,
in the house of life.
