Yellow Roses

Yellow Roses
Feel so sad
Cherishing memories
Of the time we had

Yellow Roses
Symbol of love 
Sharing them with you
Can you see from above?

Yellow Roses
Fill my heart
Bridging the gap
Now we're apart

Yellow Roses
Bloom so bright
Spreading sunshine
A beautiful sight

The Silence In the Room

It was the longest goodbye
But it came too soon 
Nothing could prepare us
For the silence in the room

We wanted you for longer
You held on for a while
But parts of you were leaving
Long before we lost your smile

The joy your smile brought us
And the memory of your face
Will stay with us forever
And help fill our empty space

Choices

I choose to believe you're smiling
Somewhere on a cloud
Sharing a joke with Nan and Lil
I hear you laugh out loud

I choose to believe you're happy
Somewhere in the sky
Playing games with Grandad Joe
I see you wink your eye

I choose to believe you're dancing
Somewhere by the moon
Teaching the slosh to Auntie Eve
I sing you a little tune

I choose to believe you're living 
Somewhere near a star
Hanging out with those we love
I feel you aren't that far

Half Left

I feared you would forget me
You often said my name
Not always the right person
But remembered all the same

Though your memory faltered
Your spirit shined within
You loved to laugh and joke
And your smile became a grin

You had your little sayings
Maybe this one was your best
I ask, are you alright Mum?
And you say no, I'm half left
