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, 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.

Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in our shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let us shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
So we were the ones with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did you ever know that you're our hero,
and everything we would like to be?
We can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but we've got it all here in our hearts.
We want you to know we know the truth, of course we know it.
We would be nothing without you,
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did you ever know that you're our hero?
You're everything we wish we could be.
we could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did we ever tell you you're our hero?
You're everything, everything we wish we could be.
Oh, and we, we could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath our wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let us fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath our wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath our wings.

so high we almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath our wings.

I Still Miss You
by Angela Craig
This yearning in my heart
This confusion in my mind
The words left unspoken
Haunts me all the time
Everyday I watch pass by
With an emptiness in my life
And a hole in my heart
Where only you belong
There are nights I wake up crying
And wishing you were here
To hold me in your arms
And kiss away my tears
There is something that keeps me holding on -
What I'll never know
But one day things will go my way
And I'll have you in my arms

THIS IS FOR SATURDAY 18-7-09
Gifts From Heaven
A tiny golden butterfly
Perched upon my sill
His wings he fluttered gently
To give my heart a thrill.
On the wind I heard a song
Sung with pure delight
Trilled by a tiny bluebird
Such a lovely sight!
Through my window drifted
A fragrance oh so sweet
From newly blooming flowers
Came this lovely special treat.
I'm touched by gentle breezes
The sun warms my frame
I feel the gentle raindrops
I count them all the same.
They are gifts to us from heaven
To cheer us each new day
Sent by someone special
With love in everyway.

THIS IS FOR SUNDAY 19-7-09
cherished memories
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.
*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •*• ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ .•**•.. ♥ •
Rest your weary head and drift off into dreams,
Frolic in the sunshine and bathe in God's moonbeams.
Use the stars as stepping-stones to take you to your peace,
The pain of life forgotten now you have found release.
Without rain a flower folds, the petals drop and die,
There was no way to save you, you couldn't even cry.
So we cry all the tears instead as we must let you go
To Heaven, and God's garden to blossom and to grow.
The little seed is planted, you'll be watered every day,
The angels will tend all your needs as in their arms you lay.
Your life will be amazing now and full of wondrous things,
Rest in peace, my love and fly on angels wings.

I WISH YOU ALL A LOVELY WEEKEND MY FRIEND,
I WILL BE BACK ON MONDAY AS I'M SPENDING
TIME WITH MY BROTHER,GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX
I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege
Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon
As I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here;
I recognize a lot of them,
There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no more separations,
For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears;
I've fought the battle, run the race,
And I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven,
And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And oh, this place is grand!
No one could have ever told me
Of all the beauty in this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the many trials
To live here for all eternity!

The Lord needed a flower
and that flower was you
so he picked you up from down here
and up and up you flew
He planted you in his garden
he said 'You'll stay here now with me'
and there you'll stay away from harm
the prettiest flower you'll always be
goodnight angel sweet dreams

~⊱~♥~⊰ ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR... ⊱~♥~⊰~
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥~⊱~♥~⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥~⊱~♥⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥~⊱~♥~⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥~⊱~♥~⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥~⊱~♥~⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥~⊱~♥~⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥~⊱~♥~⊰~⊱~♥~⊰~♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.

Im giving you this message & it’s sent from god above
He says that he is with you & he’s sending you his love.
Im to tell you that your loved one is not that far away
He’s waiting up in heaven where you’ll unite again one day.
Do not stop the tears you cry for there sent from god above.
They are not a sign of weakness, but a representation of your love.
Each tear is filled with memories of a time that you both shared
So when a tear runs down your face, gods reminding you they’re there.
That’s why at night when your alone & you toss & turn to sleep
That the pain inside overwhelms your heart & it cuts so hard & deep.
If you stop & look inside your heart, it’s not the pain you bear,
It’s all the good times god let you have & allowed you all to share.
Death is a graduation of life on earth & the memories are the tears.
Each tear represents a moment in time that will last throughout the years.
Now close your eyes & be at peace & know you’ll meet again.
God love’s you so , He wont let go & his grace will never end.
