ZACH

Let me take away your heartache,
Let me bear your unbound pain.
...

My Son.........

These words I write with tear filled eyes,
As a new dawn comes to light.
...

At a time of celebration,
Drinking lager in the bar.
Go home, get changed for the night ahead,
You decide to take the car.
...

..What Life Is This?

From a soldier who had served twelve years,
Every day has brought along more tears,
...

MY HEART BELONGS TO WALES..............

Where the seas blue waters rise and fall,
Where the velvet hills stand strong and tall.
...

River Bank Cottage...............
There are days within my life thus far,
I would gladly leave behind.
Though the day we saw this lovely place,
...

Dear Santa..............Iraq


Candles burning sure and bright,
...

Fields of woe........


Out there among the fields of woe,
...

The Best Poem Of Leighton Rees

Zach

ZACH

Let me take away your heartache,
Let me bear your unbound pain.
For I don't want you going through,
All that suffering again.

On the worst day of my life thus far,
We were standing side by side.
When we took our boy to hospital,
From Meningitis, there he died.

The pain I felt in my grieving heart,
I have never felt before.
I know those doctors tried to help,
And they could have done no more.

On the morning of Zach's funeral,
With a tear in my eye.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done,
As I bade our Son goodbye.

To have your child die in your arms,
And there's nothing you can do.
Is the hardest test this world can give,
But his love will see us through.

So heavenly Father I ask of you,
Don't cast my Son aside.
For that young lad who we love so dear,
I now give to you with pride.
