Dad


Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things will 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.


by Judy Burnette (Read by HIs daughter Louise At service)

Alan is much loved by all his family and friends. He was always there to help anybody; he had a pure
heart of gold. He would do anything for anyone. I remember fondly the times he would just break out
into song any place any time. Also playing on his guitar making funny faces and being a total laugh
a minute. He was always the “loudest” person in the room and listening to him reminisce about
experiences he had in his life the good times and the bad. Telling us about how life used to be like
his time in the army, how places in Birmingham used to be before it was so built up, the woods,
fields, and the many things him and his brother used to get up to along the river Cole.
He was a joy to have around. Alan had many health problems but despite this he still managed to have
time, love and kindness for all those around him. If you ever had a query about anything he was
“the man to call”
He demonstrated what being a dad was all about, and became like a dad to me, I will miss his
singing, and stories and most of all him just being him. I miss him Alan had an extraordinary strong
will for life and his family will miss him so much. Nevertheless, he has left a lifetime of memories
so he will never, be forgotten. Alan was a huge fan of Aston villa football club and played it him
self he helped teach his grandchildren the fine art of kicking a football.
He was the kind of man who liked to be prepared, he liked to take care of things ahead of time; he
was the epitome of the old saying, "never put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today".
There is so much I could write about Alan but I would be here a very long time, He is going to be
sorely missed by everyone.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.


Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.



When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.


He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.



He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.


This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:


'LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me.'



The LORD replied:


'My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you.'

~☆ ~☆ -NAT KING COLE SMILE-~☆ ~☆


Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile



That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile






-~☆ ~☆ --~☆ ~☆ Amazing Grace,~☆ ~☆ --~☆ ~☆

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.



T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.



Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.



The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.



When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.



"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
