Still See You

Sail away on the tears we shed
On a voyage of destiny
Fading from sight on the ebb
We'll cherish your memory

You've sailed your ship through heavy swell
Nurtured all your crew
There to always reassure and quell
Loyal through and through

Sail off
Still see you
A gentle heart turned guiding light
Precious to all your crew

Enriched the lives of those you met
Cherished your friendships so
Leave behind a massive void
Leave behind a warming glow

Battled with courage,steadfast in your faith
An Inspiration to us all
Care for others was a gift you gave
A true captain of your yawl

Sail off
Still see you
Feel you in our beating hearts
A mother of great virtue

Cloaked in mist on your final voyage
Your soul beams out so strong
Gave such strength,spoke nuggets of gold
It's dusk so sleep,all night long

Sail off
Still see you
Safe now,sealed in our hearts
Deeply loved by all your crew

How you lived through raging seas
Made our dreams come true
Sailed to the end of the earth for us
Now your faith will take care of you

We'll laugh together as the tears subside
Recall your life and times
Watching over us, our celestial guide
A breeze singing in the chimes

Andy,Thank You for sharing those beautiful words with us all.Your Mum would be so proud of them and she will always be with you.God Bless to you and all your family.Stay Strong mate.
Best regards Stewart.

Hi Andy - you dont know me at all as I have only just joined the site. I lost my Mum four years ago - the pain doesnt go away but you find help in little things that make you know they are still there for you - my Mum is there for me through a robin in our garden - I'm not nuts honestly! He is always there when I'm sad. Its Mum's way of telling me she is fine and I must be too. God bless xxx

Andy what you wrote is absolutely beautiful. I too lost my Mum in 2007 so your words touched me too. Keep the precious memories of her in your heart ... She will always be with you & looking down on you with much pride & love.
God bless

Andy. Thanks for sharing that beautiful poem with us. Most of us feel the same way about our mothers and it's damn hard when we lose them (lost mine in 2007) but time is a great healer and we learn to move on and we do still see and feel lost loved ones all around us in one way or anotherMichele2013 wrote:Michele....my mum is a blackbird....a male one...which is weird but she is there in the garden every morning......checking up on me.

She taught me from birth never fear the loss death brings, weep not at a grave., we are only here for a short while . And that our bodies are only a vessel to carry us through life. Live and learn from this school of life ! Love never dies , our bodies break down , wear out or just fail to support our souls we sleep we recover we will be resurrected ! Then and only then we really need to worry ! Who will be waiting for us all
