Our Father kept a garden.
A garden of the heart;
He planted all the good things,
That gave our lives their start.
He turned us to the sunshine,
And encouraged us to dream:
Fostering and nurturing the seeds of self-esteem.
And when the winds and rain came,
He protected us enough;
But not too much because she knew
We would stand up strong and tough.
His constant good example,
Always taught us right from wrong;
Markers for our pathway that will last
a lifetime long.
We are our Fathers garden,
We are his legacy.
Thank you Dad we love you.

My granddad died not so long ago this is what i read at the funeral;
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone,
Apart of us went with you,
The day god took you home.
But you didn’t go alone,
Apart of us went with you,
The day god took you home.
A million times we missed you,
A million times we cried,
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
A million times we cried,
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
To the grave we travel,
The flowers are placed with care,
No-one knows the heartache,
As we turn to leave you there.
The flowers are placed with care,
No-one knows the heartache,
As we turn to leave you there.
If tears could build a stairway,
And heartaches could make a lane,
We would walk a path to heaven,
And bring you back again.
And heartaches could make a lane,
We would walk a path to heaven,
And bring you back again.
