My Dad passed away recently.It was a massive shock to us all. He was a well loved, respected and true gentleman, I could not have wished for a better Dad. I will miss him everyday, we all will. I will never ever forget him, and theres not a moment I dont miss him.
If tears were stairs,
and memories a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven,
and bring you home again.
As My Tear Softly Falls
© Breton Delayne White
And he puts his boat in the water for the last time
A tear will fall for the last time
I wipe the tears from my face with your old shirt for the last time
I cry about the last time I said goodbye to you
More then oceans separate us
More then continents themselves
But in my heart you will remain
Along with everything you taught me
Memories seep from my veins
Vivid pictures of you lay softly in the back of my mind
But you now rest in the arms of the angels
Everyday I wish you were here to hold me in your arms
And comfort me threw every obstacle in life
And such a thought brings me weeping on my knees
And everyday I picture you
I remember you
And everyday I struggle with the reality that you’re gone
And with that struggle I make it through another day
Everything happens for a reason
Yours was to build me up
And no one can ever tear me down
You taught me all you could in your short time with me
And now my only job is to remember and never forget
Rain is nothing but tears to me
Tears from a man who wasn’t good at sharing his emotions
Although going on without you upsets me
Everything reminds me
I’m not afraid to cry
I pretend to be ok everyday
And it’s always hard to deal with the pain of loosing you
And force that smile when it just won’t come.
The wake comes off the bow
The anchor is reeled in
Another tear falls softly for him.
R.I.P Dad, I hope your still looking after me.
I miss you so much.
Goodnight god bless. xx

Remember on that October day?
You were very determined
To have it your way.
Even though you cared
You didn’t want me there.
Daddy, I needed to be near.
Remember on that October day?
I wanted to have it my way.
Determined to stay.
You knew that I was scared
More than my heart could bare.
But, Daddy – I cared.
If I could have changed that day
I would have had it my way
Daddy, you would have stayed.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...
- Mary Frye
A year has passed
I’ll never forget the day
Someone rang to tell me
That you’d gone away
The hurt is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don’t utter a sound
Some days the pain is stronger
It makes me sick and weak
I can’t stand this much longer
I just sit here and weep
I’ve shut my private door
And let no one in
Locking myself in a box
They try, but I won’t give in
You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don’t have you
I was your first daughter
Daddy’s little girl
I took my own path
But was still part of your world
I was not the best
Guilty of neglect
But you know daddy dearest
I had so much respect
I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar
I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope... one day
I will see you again
I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked “how are you?”
There is no need to pretend
We all love and miss you so much, sleep well
and take care of all who went before you
Forever in my heart x
Dad
by Judy Burnette
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.
Missing You
No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you every day.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows;
How I miss you, nobody knows!
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name,
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame.
No one knows my sorrow,
No one sees me weep,
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep.
I've never stopped loving you
I'm sure I never will;
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches as I whisper low,
"I need you and I miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say,
But I just can't keep quiet any more,
So I'll tell you anyway.
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill;
I love you so, Dad,
And I always will.

Our Family Chain
We little knew that morning
That God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But 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 is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
I still cant believe your gone. I miss you so much. Im so sad about everything you will miss. I cant even watch rugby anymore.
I miss you Dad. The days dont get any easier. Everyday hurts more. Feels like an eternity since I last saw you. Theres this one star in the sky, it seems to be there all the time at night, and i console myself with the fact that you are watching over me. Catherine x
Father by Debbie Burgess
A Father is a special gift,
One you think will stay.
You never think the time will come,
When he is called away.
But when the moment comes,
And you never said goodbye.
The pain overwhelms you,
And all you do is cry.
You laughed with me in good times,
And cried with me, when sad.
You always went without for me,
You gave me all you had.
You taught me many things in life,
That I would have to do.
But, Dad, you never taught me,
How to cope with losing you.
