When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever the years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder, thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk, chill on my brow,
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me...
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well..
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

A CHILD LOANED

"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he's dead.

It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, til I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;

Now will you give him all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand'.

Sometimes I feel sad and sometimes I feel blue
but whenever I see you, I'm as happy as can be
for you bring a smile upon my face
and a feeling of joy within my heart
you're like my sunshine in the morning
and my stars that glow at night
you're like the waves in the ocean
the cool breeze in the wind
like the call of the birds in the morning dew
like the sounds of beauty in the night
you see all of these things are of beauty and love
that's how I feel whenever you are near
for it was the passion and desire from both of us
that opened up the world for our eyes to see
for our love of each other will grow and grow
and our needs and desires will be more everyday
for a friend you once were and will always be
has turned into love as it should have been
so I want you to know as a friend and lover
that in my heart and arms you'll always stay
for our love for each other will never fade.

When western slopes become first lit

I'll to the tops where the wild wind blows

To watch the sky

To feel the earth

To wander by the wild hedge

And there I'll feed my soul


So future man do not fear

When my ghost to you is near

For just like you upon a time

I walked this way and dreamt my dreams

It's lonely here without you
I miss you more each day
For life is not the same for me
Since you went away
If I could have one lifetime wish
One dream that could come true
I would pray to god with all my heart
For yesterday & you

God bless you Martin
Watch over your loving family xxxx

Something will remind me
I never know just when
It might be something someone says
And it all comes back again
The times we spent together
The happiness, the fun
Once again I feel the pain
Of life without my son
It's said that times a healer
I'm not sure that is true
There is not a day goes by son
That i don't cry for you

God bless you Martin xx

Sending Hugs

I'm so sorry Martin has left this side and gone to join the heavenly host of Angels - he is in good company and will be met by all our Angels who will keep him safe until you are all together once again.
It is an awful journey you are starting but know you are not alone - sometimes only other Angel Mums can understand the pain. Please know I am here if you need to talk or rant. We may be strangers but we share a common bond - the eternal love for our children.
God bless you and your precious Angel
love Gail x
