God looked around his garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered ‘Peace be thine’
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

The Flying Scotsman 20/06/25
I boarded this train at the station
With a seat just reserved for me
So excited about it’s destination
As I heard it would set you free.

I hope that you were there
To have wished me on my way
You couldn’t have joined me
It wasn’t your time that day.

Many friends and family were waiting
Who had taken an earlier train
They greeted and reassured me
That nothing had really changed.

One day you’ll take your journey
Maybe on a train like me
I promise I’ll be there to greet you
And you yourself will see:

That life is just a journey
Enriched by love and those you meet
No one can take that from you
It’s always yours to keep.

But for now no more seats are vacant
So you’ll have to muddle through
Treat all those you know with kindness
Make sure you live your life
As you know I’ll be watching over you.

X In memory of Dave love Carole Allen x
