He cherished me, Protected me, Sheltered me from harm. He lit up my world Like my very own sun. He shone light On the very shadows of my life. He gave me flowers, Beautiful white lilies. My favourite. But then they died, Wilted before my very eyes. He tore away my joy, And told me bittersweet lies. He’s gone. But he left a ghost. He stained my skin, my life, my heart. But my lily boy Is who I love the most.

The Lily Boy

He cherished me, Protected me, Sheltered me from harm. He lit up my world Like my very own sun. He shone light On the very shadows of my life. He gave me flowers, Beautiful white lilies. My favourite. But then they died, Wilted before my very eyes. He tore away my joy, And told me bittersweet lies. He’s gone. But he left a ghost. He stained my skin, my life, my heart. But my lily boy Is who I love the most.

If you should die in battle, I just want you to know: That without you in our lives, Clocks are ticking much too slow. If tomorrow starts without you, A part of me will die. If you never come back home, An ocean will fall from my eyes. If you die on foreign soil, And our house is no longer a home, I’ll be living, breathing, But never alive, only alone. Every day, I miss you, And I wish you were here with me. It’s really not very fair How you were taken by the sea. Mum misses you every minute, every day, She’s a shadow of who you love. She struggles to survive each day, Knowing you’re in heaven up above. My children will never meet you, Now you’re not here to watch them grow, But, when they point to pictures of you, I’ll say, ‘My Daddy, my hero.’

The Daughter

If you should die in battle, I just want you to know: That without you in our lives, Clocks are ticking much too slow. If tomorrow starts without you, A part of me will die. If you never come back home, An ocean will fall from my eyes. If you die on foreign soil, And our house is no longer a home, I’ll be living, breathing, But never alive, only alone. Every day, I miss you, And I wish you were here with me. It’s really not very fair How you were taken by the sea. Mum misses you every minute, every day, She’s a shadow of who you love. She struggles to survive each day, Knowing you’re in heaven up above. My children will never meet you, Now you’re not here to watch them grow, But, when they point to pictures of you, I’ll say, ‘My Daddy, my hero.’

If I should die in battle, I just want you to know: That I will always be with you, Wherever you may go. If tomorrow starts without me, Please don’t shed a single tear. Just smile at the letters that I wrote And keep memories close and dear. If I die on foreign soil, And never come back home, Please tell our beautiful children That they’ll never be alone. If our angels ever miss me, Just tell them to close their eyes And I’ll be there for them, Watching from the sky. If you, Darling, ever miss me Please know that I miss you, too. I will forever shine a light On everything you do. When our children grow up, If they don’t remember me, Show them our many pictures And tell them I’m their Daddy.

You’re now sleeping among the stars, Winking down at me every night. You walk among the constellations, Dancing with the moon. Since the first moment that we met, You were my falling star, My own piece of heaven With drops of sunlight in your hair. I look to the sky to see your face, To see you shine so bright. I see your eyes in shooting stars And your smile in the moonlight. If I could wish to go anywhere, I’d fly to the stars because I know that you’re there.

Fly Me To The Moon

You’re now sleeping among the stars, Winking down at me every night. You walk among the constellations, Dancing with the moon. Since the first moment that we met, You were my falling star, My own piece of heaven With drops of sunlight in your hair. I look to the sky to see your face, To see you shine so bright. I see your eyes in shooting stars And your smile in the moonlight. If I could wish to go anywhere, I’d fly to the stars because I know that you’re there.

How patient He must be. He sculpted the stars And moulded the mountains. He painted the rivers, the oceans, And carved the continents. They’re perfect. Just how He imagined. He made them in a mere week. But me? I’m the unfinished masterpiece. Eighteen years on And I’m still not complete. He’s so loving, Not to give up on me. I’m a work in progress, An unfinished painting. But the artist loves me so. The planets and the mountains were the easy part But now He has to finish this incomplete heart.

Work In Progress

He made them in a mere week. But me? I’m the unfinished masterpiece. Eighteen years on And I’m still not complete. He’s so loving, Not to give up on me.

I’m a fallen mirror. Shattered. Broken. Unfixable. You could glue me back together. If you wanted to. But I know that you won’t. Even if you did, I would still have cracks, Scars. Your words were knives, sinking into My back, my heart, my wrists. You’re a vulture, Preying on my soul Until I’m only a Scarred reflection Of who I once was.

The Scarred Mirror

I’m a fallen mirror. Shattered. Broken. Unfixable. You could glue me back together. If you wanted to. But I know that you won’t. Even if you did, I would still have cracks, Scars. Your words were knives, sinking into My back, my heart, my wrists. You’re a vulture, Preying on my soul Until I’m only a Scarred reflection Of who I once was.

You caged me in your game of chess, But you never taught me the rules. I was only ever a mere pawn, Never a courageous Queen. You painted my entire life But you blurred the lines and shapes. I saw rainbows throughout my time But you took away my colours. You trapped me in a glass jar, Like a lonely caterpillar. When I bloomed into a butterfly, You never let me spread my wings. But now you’re losing power, You’re controlling me no more. I’m now getting stronger And I’m evening the score. My queen is moving in Upon your mere pawn. And all the colours have been drained, From your life that you have drawn. My butterfly spread her wings, And she flew away from you. And then she said ‘Checkmate!’ Because your chess game is now through.

Checkmate

You caged me in your game of chess, But you never taught me the rules. I was only ever a mere pawn, Never a courageous Queen. You painted my entire life But you blurred the lines and shapes. I saw rainbows throughout my time But you took away my colours. You trapped me in a glass jar, Like a lonely caterpillar. When I bloomed into a butterfly, You never let me spread my wings. But now you’re losing power, You’re controlling me no more. I’m now getting stronger And I’m evening the score. My queen is moving in Upon your mere pawn. And all the colours have been drained, From your life that you have drawn. My butterfly spread her wings, And she flew away from you.

I met you in a world of colour, But you left me in black and white. I used to hear the birdsong, the beautiful sounds of spring, Now, the lonely silence is all I ever hear. Remember all the songs we sang, The games we used to play? How we would draw pictures on the stars, A paint palette sky to see? Wherever you are, If you watch the life I've come to live, I hope, through the good times and the bad, You're always proud of me. Every song I ever sing, I feel you here with me. I think of you every time, The paint palette sky, I see.

The Paint Palette Sky

I met you in a world of colour, But you left me in black and white. I used to hear the birdsong, the beautiful sounds of spring, Now, the lonely silence is all I ever hear. Remember all the songs we sang, The games we used to play? How we would draw pictures on the stars, A paint palette sky to see? Wherever you are, If you watch the life I've come to live, I hope, through the good times and the bad, You're always proud of me. Every song I ever sing, I feel you here with me. I think of you every time, The paint palette sky, I see.

Clocks kept ticking, The world kept spinning, Time marched on. It’s now that I realise how long that you’ve been gone. I can’t see your beautiful smile Your melodic laugh, a memory Every time I believe you’re still around You’re slipping away from me. Every time I want to see you, I have to imagine that you’re there. Every time I want to hug you, The cold breeze embraces me instead. Clocks keep ticking, The world is always spinning, Time marches on. And still you’re gone.

Unfair Clocks

Clocks kept ticking, The world kept spinning, Time marched on. It’s now that I realise how long that you’ve been gone. I can’t see your beautiful smile Your melodic laugh, a memory Every time I believe you’re still around You’re slipping away from me. Every time I want to see you, I have to imagine that you’re there. Every time I want to hug you, The cold breeze embraces me instead. Clocks keep ticking, The world is always spinning, Time marches on. And still you’re gone.

I lived a life of storms in a world of bright sunshine, You ensured that everything I wanted never could be mine. I thought you always heard me whenever I would cry, But when you didn’t help me, I could only ask, ‘Why?’ I’m in a constant battle, just to try to get my way, Never did you give me colours, just a life of grey. I wanted to see you every time I looked up to the sky But when I only saw the clouds, I had to wonder, ‘Why?’ You went and tore my Gran away, before my very eyes, You never even gave me time to say all of my goodbyes. I can never quite hear your voice, no matter how hard I try And when I start to miss my Gran, I always ask you, ‘Why?’

Why?

I thought you always heard me whenever I would cry, But when you didn’t help me, I could only ask, ‘Why?’ I’m in a constant battle, just to try to get my way, Never did you give me colours, just a life of grey.
