I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.


Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November



FOR MONDAY



The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.


FOR TUESDAY


Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.


FOR WEDNESDAY


A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.


FOR THURSDAY


Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.



FOR FRIDAY


The Watcher

They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.

Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.



FOR SATURDAY


As We Look Back


As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems

And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things

Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.



FOR SUNDAY


To Those Whom 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 must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear

Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09

♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥

One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥

It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09

Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09

♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx

Lord Alfred Tennyson


Dark house, by which once more I stand
Here in the long unlovely street,
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, waiting for a hand,
A hand that can be clasp'd no more—
Behold me, for I cannot sleep,
And like a guilty thing I creep
At earliest morning to the door.
He is not here; but far away
The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November


FOR MONDAY

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.


FOR FRIDAY

Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home

The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain

But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace

Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.


FOR SATURDAY

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...

It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.

My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.


FOR SUNDAY

When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

GONE TOO SOON

I know that i went to early
And that god took me too soon
But sometimes angels are needed
To fly over that silvery moon

I know that i was only young
i had many years ahead
But god needed an extra angel
they had to be the best he said

But dont be sad im happy
Even though ive gone too soon
Look for me each night
In the light of that silvery moon

IITH NOVEMBER 2009

✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿

✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿

✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿

✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿

✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿

✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿

✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿

✿'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your Son-- did he come back alright?'✿

✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿

✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿

✿ Lest we forget......✿

Love Shines Through
Like a shadow in the moonlight
Like the whisper of the seas
Like the echoes of a melody
Just beyond our reach
In the shadow of our sorrow
Past the whisper of goodbye
Love shines through eternity
A heartbeat from our eye

TIME WILL EASE THE HURT
by Bruce B. Wilmer

The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time,
And meaning to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can't hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away;
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind;
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won't let the sadness
Simply slide away,
The echoes will diminish
Even though the memories stay.

Memories ?

Memories fill the empty space
Where you used to lie
Tears flood my eyes
As I see your face
Your smile
I hear your voice
The humour
I smile...
God Bless You Beautiful Angel
With me all the while
My memories
Take me straight to you
Bridge time and space
Uniting us forever
In an unbroken embrace

Have A Lovely Week My Friends.
With Love Always Linda.xxx
