My dolphin baby

Sunday 3rd July

In my heart you will always be
My sweetest, most precious memory.

Our love will carry on and on
Though from this world, you’re gone.

The sadness never really leaves
Despair is what my mind perceives.

I can’t see you, but you’re there
Close by, all around and everywhere.

Watching dancing dolphins tonight
Were you there too, in the twilight?

Diving through the sparkling sea
No more pain, swimming carefree.

So was that you, my dolphin baby?
‘Cos we’re missing you like crazy.

So peacefully you slipped away
We miss you more each passing day.

Love you forever
My sweetheart
Darling Angel son.

Saturday 2nd July

Life goes on
That’s what people say.
It will get easier
That’s what people say.
The pain will lessen
That’s what people say.

Life does goes on,
But to me,
That’s the saddest part.
Life is going on
Without you.

Will it get easier?
Will the pain lessen?

No passing of time
Will change what you were,
What you meant to us,
Or how you changed our lives.

We miss you my darling
Dearest Angel son.
Love you forever
Always have, always will.
Moon and back.

Friday 1st July

“My thoughts go back to a heavenly dance
A moment of bliss we spent
Our hearts were filled with a song of romance
As into the night we went
And sang to our hearts’ content

The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on

The night was splendid
And the melody seemed to say
“summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may”

There ‘neath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended too soon

The moon descended
And I found with the break of dawn
You and the song had gone
But the melody lingers on.”

Song composed by Irving Berlin, lyrics by Leda Boehner, 1927

Your song may have ended
But the memories do linger on
In the words and melodies.

And although every song ends
That doesn’t mean
We shouldn’t enjoy the music
Over, and over again.

Love you my sweetheart
To the moon and back
Round the planets
And all the stars.
Love you my Angel
Always have, always will.

I must try

Thursday 30th June

I must try,
I must learn,
Not to live without you,
But to live with
The love,
The memories,
The precious moments,
You left behind.

But I’ll never really
Get used to
Being without you.
It’s so hard
To face the fact
That you’re gone.
You’re not coming back.

What we’ve lost
Cannot be returned.
So we look around
Trying to see signs
That you’re close by.
To find you
In what remains.

Loving you forever
Missing you every day
Thinking of you constantly
Trying to put a smile on my face
When there are tears in my heart.

Wednesday 29th June

In my dreams
Sadness is far away
In my heart
Is where you stay
In my thoughts
I miss you every day
In my mind
We laugh and play
In my head
You chase away the grey
In my soul
Keeping the demons at bay
In my subconscious
I love you forever, I say.

Sleep tight, sweet Starman
Precious Angel son.

Tuesday 28th June

I will always wonder
Who you might have been
What you would be like
How you would have grown.

And I sit here and whisper
I love you so much
And I try to believe somehow
You can still hear me.

You never, ever leave my mind
You are with me always
Our hearts beat in unison
That’s the way it will always be.

Love you sweetheart
Treasured Angel son.

More time

Sunday 26th June

I just wish
We had had more time.
That is all, really.

More time to laugh
More time to travel
More time to love
More time to explore
More time to cuddle
More time to grow
More time to live.

To watch the sunrise
To see the waves break
To hear the birds sing
To smell the fragrant air
To taste new flavours
To touch your sweet face
To feel great happiness.

To be.

More time with you.

I love you.
I miss you.
I just wish.

Saturday 25th June

Seconds, minutes, hours
Days, weeks, months.
Over a year has passed
Flying by so very fast.

Numbness, heartache, pain
Loss, grief, sorrow.
So much sad emotion
So much love and devotion.

Memories, thoughts, stories
Nostalgia, recall, musings.
Many reminders of you
Filled with a love so true.

Affection, fondness, care
Love, hope, tenderness.
We gave you all we could
Dedication was understood.

Love and miss you always.
Precious Angel son.

Friday 24th June

Your spirit soars on high
My little Starman in the sky.

Too soon to say goodbye
I often question, wonder why.

I will try not to cry
My falling tears I will dry

Because I know you’re nearby
Right there, in my mind’s eye.

My dearest sweetie pie
You really were a good guy.

And your spirit soars on high
My little Starman in the sky.

Love you.

Thursday 23rd June

It really hits home
When it’s set in stone
Our Starman has flown
But you’ll never be alone.

Looking upon your name
And the dates that proclaim
Your candle lost it’s flame
And we’re left with the pain.

A tribute just for you
We whisper a quiet adieu
A peaceful place we come to
Saying how much we love you.

Sweet Angel son
Fly high Starman
Forever in our hearts.
