Mum/Mom/Dad/Grandad/Nan/Grandma/Husband/Wife/Partner.
For all occassions: Christmas, Mother's Day, Father's Day,Anniversary and Birthdays.
Where you see words (in brackets), that suggests that the word can easily be changed to suit.e.g. The words in brackets may say (Mum) and (Christmas) but if you changed the words to (Dad) and (Birthday) the verse would still work.
We would love to wish you(Happy Birthday)
In the way we used to do
Nobody in the whole wide world
Could ever be like you.
We're thinking of you always
Our memories will never fade
We treasure all the little things
and all the love you gave.
But here it is, your (Birthday)
and presents we can't buy
Just a parcel full of teardrops
We send up to the sky.
I visit you at your graveside
and I tend to it with care.
(Dad) I hope you feel the heartache
when I turn and leave you there.
There's a very special gift in life
That's very rare and true
and it's the gift of special memories
especially the one's we have of you.
Thank you for our lovely memories
Which make us frequently laugh and cry.
All those times we spent together
That no money could ever buy.
I thought of you today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
and I will tomorrow too
Remembering you is easy
I do it every day
It's the realisation I've lost you
That never goes away.
Our bond was sadly broken
and for now we are apart.
But time, they say will help to mend
This ever aching heart.
I am missing you so very much
While we have this time apart
I can't escape this burning feeling
Deep within my heart
I long to hold you tightly
and once again, feel your warm embrace.
Every time I close my eyes
Before me is your face
Some day I will escape this
And then I won't feel so blue
For waiting there to welcome me
With loving arms is you.
Thinking of you today
Wishing you were here
Remembering you with smiles and love
And an ocean full of tears.
There are lots of special gifts in life
Some are great big and some are small
But having you as my (Dad/relative)
Was the greatest gift of all.
Thinking of you so much today
and wishing you were here
Remembering you with smiles and love
And an ocean full of tears.
(Christmas) thoughts are bitter sweet
But so lovely to recall
For (Dad/relative) it's times like this
You're missed the most of all.
An aching heart, some lovely thoughts
Maybe a little tear
Make all the things that keep you close
When (Christmas) time is here.
(Mother’s Day) is always a special time
For remembering you with love
I talk to you so much more
As if you’re listening from above.
I feel a certain comfort
In the thought that you’re with me
Sharing in our special day
Just like it used to be.
Whether or not it is your presence
That warms my home and heart
I like the feeling that it brings me
Back to before we were apart.
Thinking of you so much today
With so much love and pride
happy in my imagination
that you’re standing by my side.
These have been written for the little one's who have never met or remember meeting their Mummy or Daddy.
It's been (a year) now since you have passed
at least that's what I've been told
As I'm too young to understand-
time and just how it unfolds.
I'm not get capable of language
words yet I cannot speak
But my understanding
gets better week on week.
Mummy talks about you lots to me
she tells me you were such a special man
and we both know that you leaving us
was not the master plan.
As I get older I'll understand more
lots of stories I will be told
and I know that I will treasure them
more than silver and gold.
My darling Daddy, please understand
I am young with much to learn
But growing up and loving you
Will not be a concern.
I'm not capable of communicating fully
as proper words yet I cannot speak.
But Mummy talks to me a lot
and I understand more every week.
Mummy tells me lots about you too
and how you loved us so
and I feel that it makes Mummy sad
because you had to go.
As I get older I'll understand more
as stories I'll be told
and photographs I'll have of you
which I'll treasure more than gold.
Until then, my Daddy please understand
I am young with much to learn
But growing up and loving you
Should not be of concern.
My darling (Daddy), please understand
I am young with much to learn
But growing up and loving you
Will not be a concern.
(A year) has gone since you have passed
and I have never felt your touch
but lucky for me a year's not understood
as time yet doesn't mean that much.
I know (Mummy) misses you greatly
she talks about you a lot to me
and I know that a greater love
for me could never be.
But (Mummy) tells me all the time
just how much she loves me too
and she tells me she has enough love
for the both of you.
If I could have one lifetime wish
A dream that WOULD come true.
I'd pray so hard with all my heart
For yesterday and YOU!
In life I loved you dearly
and in death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no-one else can fill.
You left behind my broken heart
And happy memories too . . .
But I never wanted memories (DAD)
I only wanted YOU!
