Wish you were here, my darling

Missing you so much today

Can’t seem to shake off the sadness

But the memories won’t fade away

Still can’t believe this has happened

Our lives are in disarray

Standing beside you daily

“We love you so much” we say.

  

Forever in our hearts

Beloved Angel son

Monday 27th February
  

It has to be dark to see the stars

And the brightest of those is you

Twinkling away in the heavens

In the black night, shining through.

  

Fly high Starman

Touch the clouds

Dance with Angels

Treasured son

Sunday 26th February
  

I try so hard to hide my sorrow

(You’re not supposed to cry)

Instead I speak of you everyday

And the memories intensify.

  

Remembering all your qualities

That made you so individual

Such a quirky personality

An enigma, a true original.

  

When you were born, the doctors said

“They broke the mould upon your birth”

You grew up into someone special

We loved you beyond all our worth.

  

And so it was, when you breathed your last

A massive veil of heartache descended

Obliterating our future plans

With broken lives that can’t be mended.

  

And so we try to pick up the pieces

A rollercoaster of love and grief

Some days are better than others

We just have to have a strong belief.

  

Truly grateful for those thirty years

To watch you develop and grow

Our dearest, darling Angel son

Love you more than you’ll ever know.

Angel of mine

I think of you

Morning and noon

At night-time, too.

  

Beloved son

Friday 24th February
   

Two o’clock this morning

I was suddenly awoken

Thought I heard voices

The sentences, broken.

  

Thought it was the neighbours

Talking in the street

Wish they could be quiet

And beat a hasty retreat.

  

Struggling out of bed

Drowsy, not quite with it

Lights and sounds downstairs

Television was on transmit.

  

I found Adele singing 

Setting fire to the rain

I had a little chuckle

And turned it off again.

  

I know I’d switched it off

Before I went to bed

So who was the cheeky monkey

Who turned it back on instead?

  

Was that you my darling?

Playing a trick on us

Turning on the television

Causing a bit of fuss.

  

No other explanation

Just you making your mark

Getting me up at night

To go stumbling in the dark.

  

Sweetheart Angel

Fly high Starman

Love you forever

Thursday 23rd February
  

You’re my Angel in the wind

Whispering through the trees

Dancing across the wave crests

And flying high in the breeze

Up there in the passing clouds

Rustling with the fallen leaves

All around and round about

Way above the stormy seas.

   

Love you forever

To the moon and back

Beloved Angel son

Wednesday 22nd February
  

Gone for now

But not forever

Always missed

Forgotten, never.

  

Love you poppet

My Angel son

Beyond the clouds

Precious loved one.

  

Safe in my heart

Walking together

That’s where you’ll stay

Forever and ever.

  

Love you sweetheart

Blowing kisses to you

Tuesday 21st February
  

“Wish you were here”

I know that’s true

It’s a bit of a cliché

But it’s what I say to you.

  

“I miss you so much”

That’s also true

My heart is broken

There is no glue.

  

“I love you forever”

That’s the way it’ll stay

You’re my precious son

Though you’ve flown away.

  

Fly high sweetheart

My Angel Starman.

Sunday 19th February
  

The day you went to heaven

Was when the chasm appeared

And I fell, tumbling down

A new future that I feared.

  

I’ll never stop grieving for you

Because my love won’t cease

So I’m stuck in the chasm

But I know you’re at peace.

   

Precious Angel son

With me always
