For Rosie

Rosie
Your smile, you laugh, your face, your eyes
He sang about almost every part of your from his heart
I know he waits for you to be together
I know you wish when that happens will be forever
That time will come, soon when is right
But mum, please let me be selfish a little while
Wait for me, to see you off
I need to kiss you, to hug you to show my love
I know that you are aware, that you think of us
Do not worry, do not despair,
Send those thoughts away!
Rosie the Ix kan lol
The one with tender heart
The brightest smile
The one who gave me life
Just wait a little while
I need to kiss you, see your face, your eyes your smile
Then I know that he and you happy will be
Just as you wish, just as your dream
Walking hand in hand for eternity
Once more, in a once upon a time
Together at last
Wait for me mum.

Forever

Can you believe in forever?

Looking at an endless sky of stars, can you believe in forever?

Not knowing from where you came, or where you’ll finally end

Can you believe in forever?

And in all the clues given to you by the hand of outmost creation,

Still searching, walking with hope

Can you believe in forever?

Whether it be friendship or love past, present or future,

Almost every day your senses seen them all

Can you believe in forever?

One thing I can tell you without a moment’s thought

We live in a very short time, a snapshot.

And what we choose to call ours, transcends all

Here and now, future and beyond

Can you believe in forever as can I?

I believe that forever is love!

Father's day

Words of wisdom, words you passed
Every day of your life, the whole of your stance
Advice to follow you always gave
Gifts we always had here and there
The love you shown is what I recall... See More
The tender stroke upon my head
The smile you gave to encourage me to forget
The failing thoughts went away, disappeared, dispersed
You chased them all for me, and then as I rested
Vigilant of my dreams you became
Your heart had an infinite storage
For memories, mementoes that matter you said
Amongst those happy things were
Mental copies of the cards I painted
Especially the one that said “Happy Father’s day”
And like you, now I keep a mental treasure cove
Full of mementoes a world of its’ own
A place where I cannot never ever be alone
Everything that you taught me I will always know
Every lesson of the heart I will always remember
The lessons I have learnt with you always help
And even now we are apart; the hope is that one day
We can meet again and the tender stroke upon my head
Once more be felt and vigilant you become as I rest
A card with the girl handing you a Rose I will paint
Once more it will say “Happy Father’s day”
No matter where I go or who will I end up be
I will always say to ME, “How lucky I have been to be loved by THEE”
