If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

and beg your lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time

that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I could play them back each day.

If I knew it would be the last time,

I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would know I do.

If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

Sadly I never knew it was

so I must let this one slip away.

My friend.....words are hard to find at times like this so instead heres something for you and please remember we are all here for you sweetheartxxx

You meant so very much to me,

And I want you to know

That you are always in my heart,

No matter where I go.

You were always giving, always there

To help in any way;

The loving things you've done for me,

I never could repay.

Without the l ove you gave.

I'll treasure your sweet heart of gold

As long as I shall live...............................(((((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))))

Abbey, im so very sorry to hear your sad news,,, you must be heartbroken:-1

This is a favourite poem of mine that helped me a little when i lost a loved on last year:-4



What Is Dying?

What is dying?

A ship sails and i stand

watching till she fades on the horizon

and someone at my side says " she is gone"

Gone where? Gone from my sight

that is all, she is just as large

as when i last saw her.

The diminished size and total loss of sight is within me,

not in her, and just at the moment

when someone at my side says,

" she is gone", there are others

who are waiting for her coming,

and other voices take up a glad shout

"There She Comes".........

and that is dying.
