THIS IS WHAT YOUR LOVED ONES WOULD SAY IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY TO YOUR HEART XXX

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me,let me go–
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for our many beautiful years.
I gave to you my love,You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
I won’t be far away,for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch me,I’ll be near
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say–
“Welcome Home”

We Remember Them
In the rising of the sun
and in its going down,
we remember them;
In the blowing of the wind
and in the chill of winter,
we remember them;
In the opening of buds
and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them;
In the blueness of the sky
and the warmth of summer,
we remember them;
In the rustling of leaves
and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember them;
In the beginning of the year
and when it ends,
we remember them;
When we are weary
and in need of strength,
we remember them;
When we are lost
and sick at heart,
we remember them;
When we have joys
we yearn to share,
we remember them;
So long as we live,
they too shall live,
for they are now a part of us,
as we remember them.

love always and thank you

Rest in Peace

You're not just my father,
Dad, you're my hero

You have been there
Since I was a kid

You know everything I said
And everything I did

Whenever I need you
You always understand

I've always thought you were perfect
With the world in your hands

It never matters what it is
Whatever I say or do

You are always there right by my side
With my problems I always come to you

I could never keep anything from you
Nor could I ever lie

When I tell you all my faults
You never ask me why

Happy, Sad, Depressed, Upset
You've been there for all the moods

You've somehow learned to put up with
Some of my know-it-all attitudes

In my eyes you are always right
Never are you wrong

Somehow you have this thing with me
Where we always get along

When I am upset, or mad at the world
You know exactly how to respond

That's because you are my dad
With that certain special bond

You know exactly what to say
When my life is a complete trauma

And when my friends mess my life up
With there silly little drama

You know doing things wrong
Really isn't my style

I know in bad situations I'm in
Your phone number is all I have to dial

I have always talked to you
Your trust is what I confide in

Dad, you're like my brother
you're something I have to abide in

When i hate myself for something
And just wished that I could die

I know your shoulder is always there
Just for me to cry

Dad, you are my best friend
Something I always can look up to

I said I'd always be your little girl
And that's exactly what I'll do

I know you have to let go of me,
as the years go by

But dad, that's not such a bad thing
But you know when I have trouble

in my life
I'll always fly right back underneath your wing

No matter if we argue or disagree
or whatever we may do

Dad, you're my hero
And never forget that I Love you
