Poems





We smiled - Dedicated to my wonderful dad who passed away suddenly 1st August 2015.

The day you left us
The Sun went down
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

We felt you wrap your arms around our shoulders
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

We didn't make it in time for goodbye,
You would say it doesn't matter,
You'll always be by our side.
We cried

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

Such a courageous man,
Who lived for us,
A selfless person, family was enough.
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

You created a life so bespoke and admirable,
So many memories to cherish,
The pain is indescribable.
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

What was this feeling that shook us to our core.
 It made No sense it was too early, confused,
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

We saw mountains, and skis,
We saw boats, we saw you,
So happy up high
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

You guided us home that day,
Our bodies so empty, our minds so full.
We slept with no dreams,
We walked with no direction at all
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

You held our hands, we knew you were there,
Every decision, every step, we knew you were aware
The day you left us the sun went down
We cried 

Don't cry my darlings we heard you say,

Because the sun will rise again
And the pain will fade,
You'll remind us we're alive
With new memories to be made.

You'll wrap your arms around us soon dad,
Because one day we'll meet again,
But until that time is with us
Heaven has another angel to gain. 
We Smiled

I wrote this poem after my dad suddenly passed away in august 2016, and read it at his funeral. My dad inspired me so much and i miss him every singly day. There isn't a day that goes by that i don't think of him. He was the bravest, most clever person i had ever met and he taught me so much! Miss you dad!


You're holding my hand.

You're holding my hand 
You're guiding me through 
There's so much to learn 
About all of you


Sometimes I struggle 
Struggle to see 
That it's not your fault 
Nor the fault of me

We blame ourselves 
So little time
Not enough energy 
It's like we're blind. 

You're holding my hand 
You're guiding me through 
There's so much to learn 
About all of you


That beautiful face, you're caring and kind
Determined, strong willed and cheeky springs to mind. 

We have lots of good times, but then lots of bad. It's only just recently it's made me so sad. 

The fight for you, has ground me down. Everything is in place I can rest now. 
I wouldn't change it though, and I would do it again, I will fight for you Till the very end. 

You're holding my hand 
You're guiding me through 
There's so much to learn 
About all of you


Someone once asked me 
What strengths do you have. 
I stumbled, and stuttered, couldn't think I said! 

Silly me! Like I said I was blind I was deaf! Really and truly I should have said.. 

You're funny, you're kind, so determined it's crazy
Your caring, ambitious, and never lazy. Your silly and wonderful. So sweet too, that you make me so proud just by looking at you! 

You're holding my hand 
You're guiding me through 
There's so much to learn 
About all of you


The poem reads that I can rest now, everything is in place. I think this is very significant to our future, because since I wrote it so much has changed, so much more support has been put in place including a specialist provision and this just proves that my fight, and my work, and everything that needs to be put in place for my children will never
 ever end! I will continue fighting. I will continue to be the very best that I can be to achieve everything for my children that I possibly can.

I hope you like the poem. We
 love it.
