My Mum was a wonderful person and I never really realised how wonderful she was until she wasn't
there for me to tell her so. I never realised that losing her would be so hard. Thank you Mum for
making me the person I am today. I love and miss you more than words can ever say. Good night, god
bless


Mum it's almost a year since you left us, it gets no easier, love you loads

My grief still swells up inside me,
like an overflowing well.
To no longer see your lovely face
Smiling at me is pure agony.
To no longer hear your gentle voice
Cuts me like a knife.

I sometimes feel the sun
Will never shine for me again,
Then it bursts through,
Just like your smile did,
And I can see the light again,
Just for a little while.

My Mum love for all you did always!

My Mother Kept a Garden

My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.

She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem...

And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough-
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong-
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.

I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me

1 year ago today we lost you............time is no healer!

You Always

You always are there when I feel bad,
You always help when times are bad.
You always encourage me when I'm down,
You raised me to never frown.
You always are near when I'm far,
You always are in my heart.

My Dearest Mum

Mother you were the nicest, you were always there for me
You sung me nursery rhymes as you bounced me on your knee
You did everything that you could for me then left me on my own
The angels wanted you with them so they came and took you home
No one could ask more from their mum than what you did for me
Every day you gave me time, our closeness all could see
You cuddled and cherished me as a mother always does
Supported me in everything and often gave me a shove
You wiped my tears when I cried and laughed at all my ways
I reminded you of you when you were in your youthful days
I know I tried you with my moments as every child does
When life can get too much to bear in all the tear and rush
But you were there for me whenever I needed you
Sadly I never told you just how much I loved you too
And now it is too late, for your arms I can no longer feel
I should have told you when I could that my love for you was real.

To day seems harder that i imagine sunday will be, love and miss you more than words could ever say

miss you too much xxx

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.
P.S. God sends His Love

For you Mum......................

If I could have a lifetime wish
a dream that would come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart
and happy memories too
I never wanted memories...
I only wanted you.

For My Mum

I Love You Mum!

Of all the mums in the world, I am proud to be able to say
My mum is one in a million and I miss her more each day

I can’t believe that she’s gone, it has come as such a shock
There’s so much I want to tell her, I wish I could turn back the clock

From being a little girl, she taught me right from wrong
No matter what mistakes I made, her love for me stayed strong

A beautiful, caring lady, so gentle and very kind
Well liked and loved by everyone, she’s sadly left behind

Although I cannot see her, I’ll keep her locked in my heart
As I’m finding it hard to carry on, now we’ve been torn apart

Mum I’ll keep those precious memories, your love will be my guide
Until we meet again someday, I need you by my side!

Love you always, miss you for ever

Happy New Year Mum

If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

Love & Miss you more than words can say

Jean

To Mum This First New Years Eve Without You

New Years Eve

This is the last day of the year
they call it new years eve
look back at all the memories
this year you’re going to leave

Some you will cherish always
and keep for all it’s worth
because someone close to you
has been gifted with a birth

Some others you wish to forget
but know you never will
for someone close passed over
and some were never ill

Some will be very pleasant
and close to your heart
sit down and list the good things
back to january make a start

So when you feel unhappy
in the new upcoming year
sit down and read your memories
and smile from ear to ear

Don’t ponder on the bad things now
only tears will be shed
for tomorrow is a new start
a new year is ahead

All My love Helen
