Treasured memories, Oh so dear!
Oh how I wish that you were here
You're in mind both night and day
I'll never understand why you were taken away.
...

We laughed, we cried
We struggled and tried
Always there for each other
We had children three
...

Their camper van was ready to go
A countryside trip was their aim
The final destination they did not know
But their enjoyment was very plain
...

Love comes in many different ways,
It penetrates deeper than a kiss,
Love is in the air we breath,
In the things we touch and see.
...

Although she's gone you're not alone
She's in your heart, your mind, your home
Be not afraid or feel depressed
Her love of you will swell your breast.
...

I thought of you with love to-day that is nothing new
I dreamed about you yesterday and most days before that too
I think of you in silence and often speak your name
All I have are memories and you picture in a frame
...

I look all around the house
Things are pretty much still the same
Its eerie, quiet, just like a mouse
Alas everything speaks your name.
...

Airs and graces were not your style
Down to earth was more like you
With your captivating knowing smile
You seemed to know just what to do
...

You were there when I awoke
and at the breakfast table
Very quiet you hardly spoke
Not that you weren't able.
...

It doesn't matter what you do
Life is now all about you
Now you have the ultimate power
Of when and if you take a shower.
...

The days are really long without you
I must be extra strong without you
I will do my very best
In lifes' sternest test
...

Your passing was so hard to take
I felt I had been cast away
In a sea of despair and uncertainty
Not knowing night from day.
...

Mum, where are you now,
You were there when I was born,
and there when I was teething,
you were there when I was crawling,
...

Life is full opf joy and sorrow
We should be able to live our lives
for to-day and not tomorrow,
to take each as it arrives.
...

Threoughout the winter I've lain asleep
But with the spring my appointment I keep
When the warmth begins to descend at last
Then winter becomes a thing of the past.
...

...

Its time for e change
Sometimes said with alaugh
Our dogs got the mange
Let's give it a bath!
...

Your worlds' just been shattered
There's chaos all around
Your wifes had a brain haemorrhage
She's lying dead on the ground
...

Red Lion Caistor on Friday night
Was the truckers place to be seen
To air their stories was their right
Of things they'd done and seen.
...

I feel I want to celebrate
Iv'e won some money just of late
I've also lost my wife you see
It seems just wrong to spend on me!
...
