My dearest Mum, one of twins born Christams Day, brother Noel.
She had 4 children, 1 son and 3 daurghters.
Lived to a ripe old age as she would say, 93years. Although times were hard and she didn't have
much, mum gave us children so much to remember her by. Thanks to Mum us 3 girls all went to dancing
lessons, we can all knit, sew and crochet. We all play music. Even my brother learnt to knit and
plays music. From the age of 12 I went on to become a roller skater. For all this Mum must have gone
without. And I thank her from the bottom of my heart.
She was a fun loving person and would do anything for anyone. Never one to miss out on anything. As
my older brother and sisters left home I was there to look after her.In her later life Mum went to
live near my brother. My brother and oldest sister would have her for holidays. She loved to travel.
It was at this time I got closest to her, and to know her and love her so much. The day she had her
final stroke I was admitted to hospital for major surgery. I'd made a promise to her years earlier
not to let the dr's keep her on life support. She didn't want to be left on a machine. Sorry MUM
this didn't happen, I wasn't well enough to be told and Mum layed for a week, my brother and sister
not knowing what she wanted. The day I came home we had a call, it was my brother. Wanting my
permission to take Mum of the machine. She had gone, it was the machine keeping her body going.
They took the tubes out and darling Mum you left.
To this day I regret not being well enough to go to her funeral.
Also years ago, we made a pact about another life after passing, and if there was such a life she
would find a way to come to me.
True to her word, I now know she is somewhere better and happy and forgiven me for not being at her
funeral.
I love you Mum more than anything else in this world and always will, and thankyou for all you
taught me in life.
Always remembered. RIP.

Mum i have been told by brenda, it was a drip in your arm that needed to come out, to allow you to
pass over. not a machine as i thought.
Love you mum EvelynXXXXXXXXX
IITH NOVEMBER 2009
✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿
✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿
✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿
✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿
✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿
✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿
✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿
✿'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your Son-- did he come back alright?'✿
✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿
✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿
✿ Lest we forget......✿

♥ In the quiet of the evening ♥
♥ I sit and think of you, ♥
♥ I open up my memory book, ♥
♥ Of the things we used to do, ♥
♥ And as I turn the pages, ♥
♥ My eyes are filled with tears, ♥
♥ For, although I have my memories, ♥
♥ I can't hold back the years ♥
♥♥Wings Of God♥♥
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I felt the soft feather touch
As I lay sleeping in my bed
Softly brush across my face
And linger on my head.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I thought I might be dreaming
An Angel in my view
More beautiful than words can say
I thought, what should I do?
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I laid there in deep silence
My eyes so big and wide
The smile was oh so glorious
As she sat down by my side.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I did not come to hurt you
I came from up above
To watch you and protect you
And cover you with love.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
She wrapped her wings around me
A vigilance she would keep
She held me in her sweet embrace
Until I fell asleep.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆
I know I wasn't dreaming
It is clear to me you see
The Angel in my vision
Was God watching over me.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥ ☆

Come, dry your tears, smile again, love,
I’m only a whisper away,
Near in the dusk of the evening,
Just out of sight through the day.
Watching you waking and sleeping,
Hearing each prayer that you pray,
Sending my love to surround you,
I’m only a whisper away.
Come, dry your tears, smile again, love,
Remember the good times
we’ve known,
Cherish the joy we discovered -
Love that was planted and grown.
Your road may seem lonely ahead,
And distant horizons look grey,
You won’t be walking alone, dear,
I’m only a whisper away.
♥ A Letter From Heaven ♥
I am writing this from heaven,
where I dwell with God above,
where there’s no more tears or sadness,
there is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
because I’m out of sight,
remember that I’m with you,
every morning, noon and night.
And I will be beside you,
every day, and week, and year,
and when you’re sad I’m standing there
to wipe away the tear.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth’s no more,
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before.
And when its time for you to go,
from that body to be free,
remember that you’re not going away,
you’re coming home to me.
And I will always love you,
from this happy land above,
I’ll soon be in touch again
with you; PS God sends his love.
1998 Ruth Ann Mahaffey
