BIG HUGS SHAUN

in my thoughts
If tomorrow starts without me

If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.

But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.

He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”

“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”

My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
love you take care big hugs to you
and your family that miss you ever
day more then words can say take
care bye for now love from me

I have searched in vain for you so long,
only to find that you have gone,
In the hearts of us, that knew you well,
Will your memory firmly dwell,
Its with sadness and a heavy heart,
I say fairwell for you must part,
To guard the way for us who follow,
good by my freind untill tomorrow,
look down on us who loved you most,
for a freind of yours i am proud to boast,

God bless

For Shirley x

My mum the survivor
My Mum is a Survivor

My Mum is a survivor,
Or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night,
When all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night,
And go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her,
To help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach,
That never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mum,

Who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
A smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see,
Tears flowing from her eyes.
My mum tries to cope with death,
To keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows,
It is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mum,
Through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels,
Protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her...
Or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
And show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
No matter what she feels,
My surviving mum has a broken heart,
That time won't ever heal.

Big brother

What can i say there is no easy way to write quite how i feel.
I still have to ask myself is it really real.

I will miss our chats about rubbish topics and putting the world to rights. Your aches ans paind a little tales of woh


Having a laugh about silly things .

I have a million conversations that i still would love to have with you and one day i will.

You and me we shared 4 years in the army and only i now can tell the tales .( might bend the truth now to make me look a bit better not that you would have )

Each day i have a little though but still it is so tough to think that you are not on the end of the phone .

Till we meet again big bruv brother or bro.

Love you bruv always have and i always bloody will

miss you uncle erk

shaun i still can't believe that you are not here.

I am really going to miss seeing you round at nans pinching one of rolfs beers and tucking into one of nans big roast dinners.

I will miss you making me laugh with your moaning about anything and everything and putting the world to rights.

I will miss that cough of yours and your tales from the golf course.

I always looked forward to seeing you and would say to my dad can we see uncle erky this weekend.

I liked the way you always wanted to know how my drumming was comming along and constantley laughed at my dad because he had to put up with the noise.

I will always remember you as you where a part of my life and always will be.

IF is a small word with a big meaning and IF i could turn back the clock i would

Love you uncle erk

He's not gone away........His journey has just begun!

Don't think of them as gone away-

Their journey's just begun,

Life holds so many facets-

This earth is only one.

Just think of them as resting

From the sorrows and the tears

In a place of warmth and comfort

Where there are no days and years.

Think how they must be wishing

That we could know today

How nothing but our sadness

Can really pass away.

And think of them as living

In the hearts of those they touched...

For nothing loved is ever lost

And they were loved so much.

poems for Erk xx

Trying to find a way to understand
Is one of the hardest things to do,
The pain, the sadness, the despair,
Waking every morning knowing your not there.

Life was full of love and living
But now its seems all gone
Life is an evil thing Erk
Taking you away from everyone was wrong.

You have left your loved ones behind you,
We cant see a future at all,
But knowing your up there in heaven
Waiting by our sides to catch us if we fall.

Your mum is a broken flower babe,
Her petals have fallen to the ground,
Stand by and hold her tightly Shaun
Give her comfort with signs you are around.

Your brothers are missing you deeply,
They need help to find their way,
To find comfort, love and healing
And relieve their pain day by day.

Shine upon your loved one’s Erk,
Stand by them and keep them safe,
Laugh at their antics, and hug them in their grief
And know they miss you every day.

Your children did you proud today
Your mum and brothers too,
You saw how many people came
To celebrate your life for you.

There were tears and some laughter,
It was the saddest day of time,
But knowing your up their waiting,
Will keep them ticking over just fine.

They say that time is a great healer,
And the memories never die,
So helps us all in our dark days,
And shine your love through the sun in the sky.

You are the warmth of sunshine,
You are the dampness of the rain,
You are the wind that blows each day
And the healing to take away the pain.

Shine down on us from heaven Erk
Watch us all make our mistakes,
Just send a sign to say your laughing
And we can live with love another day.

You were taken way too early Shaun
Your job on earth was not done,
Your yet to see your boys graduate
And your Princess act on the stage and have fun.

Sit up in Heaven with Daniel now,
With your Dad, Wick and Nan,
Keep sending your love upon us Shaun
And we will be up there with you
As soon as we can………

written by Allison (ex wife)


Read by the children at his funeral... written by me.
Our hearts are broken
Our lives are in tatters
You were the best Dad
And that really matters
You gave to us
A life so special
You loved us to very much
You were our Dad, our friend our mate
We will forever miss your touch
You were taken away so suddenly
And it's left a hole so deep
But your memory lives forever Dad
And our love it's for keeps
Look down on us from time to time
Check that we are doing fine
We will make you proud forever
But for now Da, play with our brother Daniel
until we can be together
Miss you and Love you Dad.
