If I Had One More Chance

If I had one more chance to be able to say goodbye
I’d tell you how much I have always loved you,
and have one final cry.

I’d do all the things I never did
before I have to die.
I’d ask you to forgive those who hurt us too much
as that’s just the way they are as such.

If I had one more chance to say I love you,
and change back the troubles in the past.
I know we’d have another great day
which was nothing like our last.

I’d make love to you as if I never have before,
and go into Gods light to exit out his door.
I’d sing a song with the Angels and the skies
would turn from cloudy to blue;
to have one more chance again to say I love you.
If I had one more chance to change my evil ways
to only come to an conclusion to say…..

Look up and don’t ever look back,
don’t be afraid of failure in your life
as your strength will guide you on your way.
Don’t listen to those who say you can not succeed
as they are probley afraid themselves like a devil seed.

If I had one more chance I would hold your hand every day
to tell you there’s a better life your way.
Look up and see our new life where in Gods hand we will fly
 as we will be at peace to never again cry.

Diana Only Rests (In Memory of Princess Lady Diana)

One morning you passed away
well others may only sleep.
Your life it ended at 36
and now the world must weep.

Flowers and cards piled up high
sending messages of our sorrow.
Your beautiful smile will be missed
today and tomorrow.

You tried to help the world
in so many different ways.
You touched the hearts of many
each and every day.

And Elton John changed the words
to a song to show how he cared.
Why was my life not taken
so yours could be spared?

Keep your love and peace
and in heaven you'll be the best.
Some of us will continue your work
forever as you rest.

Memories and the Future

We’ve taken this rode to Manitoba
And seen the beauty and felt the cold.
Seen lakes to the East and West,
And now I am feeling old.

Seen a bear in riding mountain park,
But now it is time for a new start.
Thank-you for the memories these last two years
It’s a journey in our time.
What we can talk about it will be fine;
It was your fun times and mine.

Met family members here
Some which we never had met.
And over 3 million people have passed away from Covid 19
Which we can never forget.
It’s been happy and sad times these days
As time passes by,
But it is time to say goodbye.



To BC where mountains are everywhere.
To see the oceans and Gold River
Once again, so much is there.
We will get into a U-Haul truck and away we will go
to see beautiful BC we all know so well.

Thank-you, Marlene and Brandon, for
These memories in our life.
As we explore new and better things
to open new doors and see
What life will bring.

Our Son

Our Son little Brandon we love you so.
You're in our hearts more then you know.
We just want to hold you,
and we just want to mold you.

Our son is a joy who makes us laugh,
keeps us moving on in life just like that.
Kisses us and shows us affection,
helps us to move on in the right direction.

We just want you to have fun,
and learn what is wrong and right.
Help you to be a happy man,
and to not get so uptight.

We will try not to dwell when you fail;
for we know that all your success will prevail!
And when the day ends and it's time to go to sleep,
we want to know that your day was only happy;
and there's no reason to weep.

To prepare yourself for another happy day,
and to move forward with no obstacles in your way.
When tomorrow comes we will help you down the road
to help to bring a better life for you to unfold.
