MY SON TERRY WAS THE MOST INOFFENSIVE PERSON YOU COULD EVER WISH TO MEET HE HAD A HEART OF GOLD NO
ONE HAD A BAD WORD TO SAY ABOUT HIM
MY SON HAD A GOOD JOB FANTASTIC ARTIST COULD DRAW ANYTHING PEOPLE USED TO ASK HIM TO DRAW FOR THEM.
BUT THE EVIL DRINK GOT A HOLD OF HIM AN D HE JUST WENT DOWN THE WRONG ROAD I SAW MY SON BEING
RAVAGED BY THE DRINK HE GOT THE SACK FROM WORK EVEN THOUGH THEY GAVE HIM LOADS OF CHANCES TO PULL
HIM SELF TOGETHER ,HE STARTED HAVING FITS WE TOOK HIM TO THE HOSPITAL BUT HE WAS HAVING NONE OF IT
,THAT PARTICULAR DAY HE RANG ME UP IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING ASKING ME TO GO TO THIS PUBLIC
PHONEBOX TO PICK HIM UP,IT WAS BEYOND MY IMAGINATION WHAT I WAS HEADING INTO,THERE IN THE PHONE BOX
WAS MY SON BLOOD POURING OUT OF HIS HAND WHERE HE HAD PULLED THE DRIP OUT FROM THE HOSPITAL NO SHOES
ON FREEZING COLD I SHOUTED AT HIM CRIED WITH HIMBEGGED HIM TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF BUT IT ALWAYS
FELL ON DEAF EARS
HIS BROTHER SISTER AND UNCLE PAUL TRIED TO REASON WITH HIM BUT TO NO AVAIL THE DRINK HAD GOT A GOOD
HOLD OF HIM
HE USED TO MAKE ME LAUGH MAKING EXCUSES THAT HE NEEDED MONEY FOR HIS ELETRIC OR FOOD I KNEW THAT IT
WAS FOR BEER I USED TO GET TOLD OFF BY MY FAMILY BUT WHAT MOTHER CAN WATCH HER SON IN FRONT OF HER
HAVING THE SHAKES I LAST SAW MY SON ALIVE ON THE DAY AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY THE 15TH OF OCTOBER HE CAME
FOR HIS BIRTHDAY CARD AND HIS BIRTHDAY MONEY ,WHEN HE C AME HERE HE WOULD ALWAYS SMARTEN HIMSELF UP
,AND I KNEW I WOULD BE SEEING HIM OVER THE XMAS HOLIDAYS BUT IT WASNT MEANT TO BE.NOBODY HAD SEEN
HIM FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WE BEGAN TO GET WORRIED COS HE WOULD GO AND SEE ONE OF US BUT HE HAD
NOT BEEN TO NO ONE SO I DECIDED TO GO WITH MY HUSBAND TO HIS HOUSE AND IF HE WASNT IN LEAVE A NOTE
THROUGH THE DOOR TELLING HIM TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME ,BUT MY DAUGHTER GOT THERE BEFORE ME AND CAME
AND TOLD ME ME SHE FOUND MY SON DEAD IN HIS HOUSE .WHAT A SIGHT FOR MY DAUGHTER TO FIND HER BROTHER
LIKE SHE DID WE DONT KNOW AT THE MINUTE HOW LONG HE HAD BEEN THERE LIKE THAT AS WE ARE WAITING FOR
THE CORONERS REPORT TO COME THROUGH .
I THINK HE HAD A FIT ONLY THIS TIME THERE WAS NO ONE THERE TO HELP HIM
IF YOU KNOW OF ANY ONE GOING DOWN THAT SAME ROAD AS MY SON TRY AND GET THEM TO READ THIS
I COULD WRITE A LOT MORE BUT THE TEARS ARE FALLING DOWN SO I CANT GO ON , LIFE WONT BE THE SAME
WITHOUT HIM AND HIS SILLY JOKES SON IF YOU ARE READING THIS
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU KNEW IT XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ALL THE CUDDLES AND KISSES WHAT I
KNEW YOU LOVED XXXXXXMUM
BROTHER TO DARREN, JULIE, KELLIE AND PAUL.

** Tranquil Thoughts **

Through the gentle breeze and the stormy seas
Your love comes flooding through
A sense of your surroundings
Letting us know that it is you
A heavenly sky with sparkling flames
Becomes visible in the skies
Appearing is your shadows
As you turned to wave goodbye
A mellow whisper in my ear
Thanking all for whats been done
And letting us know that youre ok
As you glide towards the sun
No matter what the outcome
No matter how much we cried
You're letting us know that your still here
It was only the body that died
For your memory holds no boundaries
Everyday it is kept alive
Its gives us warmth and energy
That encourages our days to thrive
Just keep on remembering me
In your shadows I'll walk with you
And guide you through your darkest hours
In everything you say or do
For absence cannot be changed for us
We accept what had to be done
We cannot change the wishes of God
If he wants you to be the one
When you reach the golden promised land
And the gates are open wide
It will be there you'll find great comfort
And your tears you'll try to hide
As you settle in your new found world
You'll send us a glittering prize
It will brighten up the darkest day
And bring a tear to our eyes
Thank you for your presence
And for all the memories too
You left this world something beautiful
It was the fact that we had you.

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

For our Angel that we miss

Kath Kelly (Mum) Wednesday afternoon

Lord Alfred Tennyson


Dark house, by which once more I stand
Here in the long unlovely street,
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, waiting for a hand,
A hand that can be clasp'd no more—
Behold me, for I cannot sleep,
And like a guilty thing I creep
At earliest morning to the door.
He is not here; but far away
The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.
