Sweet Memories Of You
I shall think of you when the stars twinkle
and the rain softly showers
when the trees blossom and bluebirds sing.
Thoughts of you shall not bring sorrow
sometimes reason is not ours to borrow
you could have been spared certain things.
Oh what Joy shall be Ours
when we see each-other once more
beyond those distant Shores.
Oh what tranquil Peace this brings
cares of earth my soul shall fling
when I think of this, my heart sings.
I LOVE YOU

Sister and Mum
in Heaven
Sister and Mum

My Sister and Mum
now they're young.
No more resting on rocking chairs
in beautiful fields, they're frolicking there.
Nineties and fifties, they're now the same age
they trusted Jesus' Promises great.
They sought for healing, His Presence more
He opened to each that Heavenly door.
Death is not to be feared, it is the Bell Boy
to the Top Floor where you have such Joy.
Yes when you love Jesus, you are taken up
there with Jesus to feast and sup.
Certain beauty here is rare
but plentiful there
No sorrow's in sight
for everything's bright.
Smiling faces and trickles of laughter
enjoying each moment in the Hereafter.
One day I'll be with them, blessed moment divine
then all the Joy that is theirs will also be mine.
Yes and a wonderful Reunion
no more, the world's intrusion.
A perfect memory I will have
remembering things glad and nothing sad.
We'll have so much to share of our glad times
here and also there
Blissful there I shall be
in that Land of the Free.
My Mum and my Sister are waiting for me
one day their joyful faces I'll See!

A Wonderful Aunty
A Wonderful Aunty
Our Aunty Kath was a wonderful girl
she had things about her that were really swell.
If there was something up, she was there in a flash
yes, out her door, she would dash.
A wonderful woman of compassion and care
she had such a heart from her Maker Upstairs.
She enjoyed getting together with her friends
a helping hand, she would lend.
She was a very good keeper of her home
from her loving husband, she did not roam
(where he was, she was)
Family was her vision for life
her children and grandchildren always in sight.
How we love you, Aunty of ours
in Heaven, you're with Camelia flowers!

Such A Lovely Sister(A Medley Of Poems)
(A Medley Of Poems)
You went away so suddenly
we did not say goodbye ..
But Sisters can’t be parted
precious memories never die.
You played a big part of my life,
but now that you are gone ..
The love that I still have for you
will just go on and on.
It broke my heart to lose you, Sis
but to stay just brought you pain ..
Love alone could not save you
but I know we’ll meet again.
Our pathway changes
as life goes along ..
but the bond between us
remains forever strong. ”
I miss you Sister
Goodbye to you dear Sister
you deserve eternal rest ..
You cared so much for everyone
and always did your best.

A Cheery Uncle
A Cheery Uncle
Our Uncle Alan was a wonderful man
to me, he was one of the best in our Land.
He was always thankful, he never complained
would that all folks were just the same.
Something did not work out for him in life
but sadness and sorrow were out of sight.
For his countenance was always cheerful
a gift from God
while walking on this earthly sod.
If you were down, he would make you feel bright
something that bothered you would just take flight.
He loved his garden with grapes and roses
he would treat each one of us as if he chose us.
He always greeted us with a keen smile
when he came to the door
He was one of a kind, I could say more.
He gave life his best, he always enjoyed it
a good example, we should employ it.

Mum's Birthday In Heaven
Mum's Birthday In Heaven
You really were a wonderful Mum
and you still are beyond those wonderful stars.
You're praying for me and wishing me well
in the Arms of Jesus I am held
until the day I see your face again
my wonderful Mum and my best friend.
When I hear your voice I shall rejoice
we shall converse once more
beyond those Heavenly shores.
We shall walk together, this I treasure
through fields of flowers
where leisure lasts for hours.
Until then, keep enjoying Jesus
who came to release us
into a New Day, He paved the way.
Joy comes in the Morning Light
we're precious in His sight.

Our Aunty Kath
she could make the kiddies feet dance and swirl
She always had a cheery presence
through the years, she had that essence
She loved to help others like no other
she was always there with love and care
She showed her care in practical ways
such caring one could not repay
For she loved from the heart
right from the start!

Mum's Qualities
Mum's Qualities
I miss you Mum
your smiley eyes
were sparkly like the sun.
Your voice so cheerful
and your ways so endearing.
There is no mum endearing like mine
she had Grace divine
always a kind word
and guidance to prayer.
She would take things with you
to God upstairs.
She was one for fortitude and gratitude
and stood the tests of time.
Her rewards were waiting
now she has mirth.
Love you Mum!

My Nephew
Friend and Brother
My Nephew
Friend and Brother
My Nephew and Friend, he was both to me
a wonderful Brother, he was always for me.
Just like Jesus, he would always be there
many secrets we did share.
Sometimes the glad and sometimes the sad.
From the impositions of this world he is free
now he can sing blessed melodies.
He sang some here but many more there
Joyful steps have replaced his chair.
He frolics in the meadows, he has taken on youth
all because he trusted in Truth......
he would be with Jesus who Came to Free us.
His love for Jesus was fervent, unmatched
when often experiencing a rough patch.
For he had challenges with health
but Heavenly wealth.
In his spirit, he did not have to feel it.
To him, we have a choice to be glad or sad
so he chose to be glad instead of mad......
If something upset him, he would look to his Lord
and His Praises he would afford.
That's why most times, he sounded cheery
sometimes he would be a little weary.
Now he has his Reward beyond that Shore
all his wishes in sight, who could ask for more?
For Jesus has a Measuring Rod
Gladness for sadness on this earthly sod.
I can imagine how rich he would be
Rejoicing with Jesus in that Land of the Free.
Spiritual riches, how many there are
and physical comforts beyond those stars.
Beauty for ashes, that's what they say
in that Blessed Homeland, Jesus paved the way.
A Field of Blossoms for your front yard
a glorious waterfall at your back
My Nephew, my Brother, my Friend
there is nothing you lack.
I am rejoicing for you and I love you!

A Wonderful Man
he was full of thankfulness with a grateful heart
He would welcome us with a courteous smile
he had a contagious grin, your heart he would win
He had joy in his spirit, he did not conceal it
A positive outlook on life, one without discord or strife
He had a simple belief in God
he said keep your heart clean and don't be mean
He had many hours to think on his own
and his generosity was always shown
Yes he would welcome you in, your affections to win
he was a wonderful man and so endearing.

Heaven and Nature Sing they do
whenever I think of you
Heaven and Nature Sing they do
I love you, I love you, I love you!
I will not be sad but glad
each time I think of you
You're sending me this greeting from Heaven
I love you, I love you, I love you!
The sun shines on my window seal
and it's warmth I feel
"come out for a walk today"
your love has paved the way
to come out and be blessed
in this I rest
we're one in spirit
sometimes I feel it
Yes, Heaven and Nature Sing
such Peace this brings!

My Aunty Kath
she looked like a baby doll when I saw her last
In her late eighties, standing by her door
Such a wonderful greeting, who could ask for more?
Only more of her company, she had such charm
many children she held in her arms
She loved kids and cared for them, she would cheer them up
if there was something on their little minds, joy would erupt
She was so contagious and very gracious
That is my Aunt, her race is run!
(Our Aunty Kath)

A Noble Soul
sometimes he felt less than whole
But he would play his roll in an Old Folks Home
giving a cheery word and smile, keep you company for a while
He often sat by a window singing songs
he had such contentment for which many long
His circumstances were less than ideal
he made the most of things, joy to your heart he would bring
Showing himself friendly and thinking of others
treating everyone like sisters and brothers
A courteous man and so polite
his contagious grin was the best in sight!
