My Dad John Turner was 81 when he died that doesn't mean it was easier to lose him my heart is broken never to be mended, I know you are watching over us Dad you are the little robin that sits on my fence giving me the strength to go on I will love you forever and a day, wait at the gate for me Dad because one day we will meet again I know. Love you forever Pat
Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

My Star

When I looked out over the garden tonight I noticed a single star, With fog so dense I couldn't see the moon, I new it could only be you I stared at you for a while hoping for a reason,
Then realized at that very moment that you weren't gone at all, xXx

Missing You

As I Lie Awake At Night
: Whilst Others Are Asleep,
: I Take A Trip Down Memory Lane
: With Tears Upon My Cheek.
: No One Knows The Heartache
: I've Tried So Hard To Hide.
: No One Knows How Many Times
: I've Broken Down and Cried.
: I Cried Because I Love You
: I Cried Because I Care
: I Cried Because When I Wake Up
: I Know You Won't Be There!!

If roses
grow in Heaven, Lord, pick a bunch for me Place them in my Dads arms & tell him they're from me Tell him that I love & miss him And when he turns to smile Place a kiss upon his cheek & hold him for awhile Because remembering him is easy I do it everyday There's an ache within my heart that will never go away. I Love and Miss you Dadxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I MISS YOU X

Memories are a special house
We build inside ourselves
Where love and laughter linger,
Where all our past life dwells.
On holidays like Christmas
We can draw upon the store,
Reliving happy times
And feeling all that warmth once more.
Wherever we may travel,
This house is always there
To help to blend the old and new,
To build on...grow...and share.
This house can never get too full,
Just grow from floor to floor,
Because the joy of memories
Is always making more.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
and He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes I watched you.
I watched you fade away.
Although I loved you dearly,
I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
I miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
and everything goes wrong,
I seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Each time I see your picture
you seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
we’ll meet again someday!”

My Dad

If roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my daddy's arms
and tell him they’re from me.

Tell him that I love and miss him
and when he turns to smile,
place a kiss upon his cheek
and hold him for awhile.

Because remembering him is easy,
I do it everyday,
but there’s an ache within my heart
that will never go away.

Yesterday was a difficult day Dad I wish now I had never let them take you to hospital I should have let you die in your own bed at home I'm so sorry I let you down.

I thought of you today.
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
Now all I have are memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake.
With which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
I have you in my heart.
xxxxxxx
