Ode Of Remembrance  / Dad &. Allison Ellis (Family)

They went with songs to the battle they were young.
Straight of limb true of eyes steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget

"Requiem For A Soldier"  / Dad &. Allison Ellis (Family)

You never lived to see
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company you will live forever
Here in our memory

In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men's wars
Gone to paradise

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see we can live together
When all the world is free

I wish you'd lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see - we can live together
When all the world is free

never forgotten  / Yvonne Richard Johnson's Mum

Never Be Forgotten


I’ll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight and know just where you are

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

The next place  / Yvonne Richard Johnson's Mum

The Next Place

By Warren Hanson



The next place that I go

Will be as peaceful and familiar

As a sleepy summer Sunday

And a sweet, untroubled mind.

And yet . . .

It won't be anything like any place I've ever been. . .

Or seen. . . or even dreamed of

In the place I leave behind.

I won't know where I'm going,

And I won't know where I've been

As I tumble through the always

And look back toward the when.

I'll glide beyond the rainbows.

I'll drift above the sky.

I'll fly into the wonder, without ever wondering why.

I won't remember getting there.

Somehow I'll just arrive.

But I'll know that I belong there

And will feel much more alive

Than I have ever felt before.

I will be absolutely free of the things that I held onto

That were holding onto me.

The next place that I go

Will be so quiet and so still

That the whispered song of sweet belonging will rise up to fill

The listening sky with joyful silence,

And with unheard harmonies

Of music made by no one playing,

Like a hush upon breeze.

There will be no room for darkness in that place of living light,

Where an ever-dawning morning pushes back the dying night.

The very air will fill with brilliance, as the brightly shining sun

And the moon and half a million stars are married into one.

The next place that I go Won't really be a place at all.

There won't be any seasons --

Winter, summer, spring or fall --

Nor a Monday, Nor a Friday,

Nor December, Nor July.

And the seconds will be standing still. . .

While hours hurry by.

I will not be a boy or girl,

A woman or man.

I'll simply be just, simply, me.

No worse or better than.

My skin will not be dark or light.

I won't be fat or tall.

The body I once lived in

Won't be part of me at all.

I will finally be perfect.

I will be without a flaw.

I will never make one more mistake,

Or break the smallest law.

And the me that was impatient,

Or was angry, or unkind,

Will simply be a memory.

The me I left behind.

I will travel empty-handed.

There is not a single thing

I have collected in my life

That I would ever want to bring Except. . .

The love of those who loved me,

And the warmth of those who cared.

The happiness and memories

And magic that we shared.

Though I will know the joy of solitude. . .

I'll never be alone. I'll be embraced

By all the family and friends I've ever known.

Although I might not see their faces,

All our hearts will beat as one,

And the circle of our spirits

Will shine brighter than the sun.

I will cherish all the friendship I was fortunate to find,

All love and all the laughter in the place I leave behind.

All these good things will go with me.

They will make my spirit glow.

And that light will shine forever In the next place that I go.

I release you to fly  / Yvonne Richard's Mum
I Release You to Fly

Today, as I sat on the edge of eternity,
and watched as life passed me by,
I wanted to feel your embrace again,
But couldn't no matter how hard I try.

Life is not as simple as we think.
Days seem to just come and go.
But the treasures of that loved one,
Oh, what a joy it is to know!

I overhear other mothers when they cry,
And wonder if their pain will ever ease.
Is that the way I was meant to live?
Oh tell me... tell me please.

I know that a child is a precious gift.
One that comes with few directions.
We try our best to follow the handbook of life.
But later see our imperfections.

Loving a child is surely a full time job.
And oh what blessings we receive!
There are no nine to five jobs here, my friend.
Never will there ever be, believe!

We just keep on giving to our children.
Even when they are no longer in sight.
The love we have for them continues to grow.
And prayers are said night after night.

So, today as I sat on the edge of eternity
and watched as time flew by.
I couldn't help but feel your embrace ...
Just before I released you to fly!

For ever  / Yvonne Richard's Mum

~~~~~~~Forever~~~~~~~

We cant let go of yesterday
Or part with all our thoughts
We drown in many tears that fall
Sometimes we cant be caught
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We fall from heights we cant get up
We feel were on the wrong track
But at the end of that tunnel
Theres a light that leads us back
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our hearts shattered like broken glass
No one can repair the damage thats done
For when you went and left us here
Thats the day our heartache begun
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We long to see your smiling face
To talk just a little while
Swap all we had to get you back
And see that cheeky smile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forever in our hearts you stay
Etched in our minds forever
We know that one day we will meet again
And for that we will wait for ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know how much I miss you  / DAD ELLIS (DAD)

I know how much I miss you

I feel an emptiness inside

it shows in everything I do

its something I cant hide

I simply miss you being there

life without you at times seems flat

I know life wont be the same 

I cant say more than that

but one day we will meet again

I know that this is true

but every day until then

I know I will  miss you

Love & miss you DAD xxx

My son my star  / Dad Ellis (DAD)

Lee I look around to see
The faces of my friends and family
I search and search my whole life through
And know my heart is missing you

I cry each day for you my son
I feel that life has got me on the run
I often don't know what to do
because my heart is missing you

I love you my dear son
But you left so young
No goodbyes were said
Just an emptiness instead

But I know for sure my son
Even though I know you're gone
I'll gaze the heaven's and know by far
You are my son, my star

Love & miss You Dad

Just you  / Richard Johnson's Mum

Simply Put


Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry

Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through

Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased

Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice

Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier

Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal

Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair

My Dad  / Richard Johnson's Mum

My Dad is a Survivor

My dad is a survivor too...
which is no surprise to me.
He's always been like a lighthouse
that helps you cross a stormy sea.

But, I walk with my dad each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others.
He cries when noone's around.

I watch him sit up late at night
with my picture in his hand.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wishes he could understand.

My dad is like a tower of strength.
He's the greatest of them all~!
But there are times when he needs to cry...
Please be there when he falls.

Hold his hand or pat his shoulder...
And tell him it's okay.
Be his strength when he's sad
Help him mourn in his own way.

Now, as I watch over my precious dad
from the Heavens up above...
I'm so proud that he's a survivor...
And, I can still feel his love~!
