Forgive me Lord for what I say
But I wish there were no Christmas day
Without my Liam here with me
There doesn't seem much point you see
But if in Heaven it still goes on
Then please make sure he has lots of fun
Make sure he has all he requires
And please give him his hearts desires
When I awake each morning Liam
I have to face the fact
No matter how many tears I cry
You won't be coming back
The next time that we meet son
Will be at Heavens door
Where I will wrap you in my arms
And I won't cry anymore.
My only adored son Liam was taken from me
suddenly and without warning on
Christmas eve 1987 aged 2 1/2 years
nite~nite borrowed angel
my broken heart will never mend
may bring a tear to my eyes
but it never fails
to bring music to my ears.
If you are really a friend
let me hear the beautiful music
of my childs name.
It soothes my brokenheart
and sings to my soul.

I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away.
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today !
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
Each hill you have to climb,
So take my hand, lets face the world,
Live one day at a time !
You're not alone, for I'm still here
I'll go that extra mile,
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!
I dedicate the above poem to my forever friend
Jeanette Hirst, who lost her only adored child
Martin aged 12 years on 2nd November 1993
I had a lovely dream last night
I wish it could come true
There were just two people in it
and that was me and you.
I didn't want to wake up
I wanted it to last
but morning came to quickly
and my lovely dream had passed.
Meet me in my dreams Liam
please hold my hand once more
help me let go of this grief
that makes my heart so sore.
If only you would come to me
and tell me you're alright
maybe then this pain would ease
and I could sleep at night.
*~~nite~nite Liam cuddle in tight son~~*
Look around your garden Lord
for the Angel with a smile
It won't be hard to find him
my Liam will stand out a mile.
He has big blue eyes
and a dimpled chin
You can't mistake his cheeky grin.
Tell him how much I love him so
and make sure he hears
so he will always know
my love for him will never die
for the rest of my life
I will ask God
WHY ???
I stood beside your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.
I touched your face so softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much
you were missing me.
I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your shopping,
II wish I could do more.
I was withyou at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.
I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
You sat there very quietly,
then smiled,I think you knew ...
in the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over ...
I smile and watch you yawning
and say "goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you
and we'll stand, side by side.
I have many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see,.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.
