Loss of a child Their love was taken away from us,
At a time we needed more,
This really hurt our feelings,
Deep into our hearts core. With love and understanding,
We know that they are there,
And we talk to them everyday,
To show that we still care. Although we lost a loved one,
And we are feeling sad,
The love will never go away,
From a mother and a dad. This time we'd like to spend alone,
With the child we didn't meet,
They didn't touch this earthly ground,
With their little hands and feet, Written by Dave Boyce

Little CryWhen you are feeling very low,
Full of anger and the tension.
And you feel unhappy about things,
You don't want to mention. You don't think there is any thing,
To put all these things right.
Stand back and ask a question,
Look in a different light. Go into a quiet room,
Take a deep breath and a sigh.
To release all built up tension,
Sit down and have a cry. So next time you feel unhappy,
Give this a little try.
Help find your happiness,
And have a little cry. To help bring out those smiles again,
You need a little sorrow.
So have a little cry today,
Wake up happier tomorrow Written by David Boyce

Dancing with the Angels.When you're dancing with the angels,
And you're close up to the edge,
You think of things so positive,
To stop you falling off the ledge. The angels can only help you,
If you try to help yourself,
For earthly things don't matter,
Like belongings or your wealth. When you're dancing with the angels,
Brighter lights you will see,
It's up to you which way you go,
It is your own destiny. Which ever way you decide to go,
Angels will smother you with love,
If you decide to stay on earth,
Or go to the heavens up above.

OUR TROOPS IT IS NOT OUR WAR TO FIGHT
ON SOMEONE ELSES SOIL
THIS IS JUST POLITICAL
AND IS ONLY BECAUSE OF OIL THERE ARE LOADS OF RELIGIOUS FANATICS
WHO GO AROUND IN GROUPS
LED BY RELIGIOUS LEADERS
AND THEY TRY TO KILL OUR TROOPS TROOPS HAVE PHOTOS OF THEIR CHILDREN
WHO THEY CANT TUCK UP IN BED
LOOKING FORWARD TO THEIR RETURN HOME
AND PRAYING THEY WONT BE DEAD SO FOR THEIR LITTLE CHILDREN
PLEASE HELP US DEAR LORD
WE PRAY FOR THEIR SAFETY EVERYDAY
SO BRING OUR TROOPS HOME FROM ABROAD Written By David Boyce

Regain Composure. History is one thing,
Which you can never change,
Although some things will be resolved,
And even rearranged.
You must work through the troubled times,
And forget about what’s done,
Don’t hesitate or contemplate,
You think of number one.
You will then regain composure,
And refocus on your life,
Just think about your self for once,
And get rid of all the strife.

Bodywork. When your body really isn’t well,
It’s like an engine that is broke,
You need a boost of energy,
Like an engine has a choke.
You may need medication,
Like an engine needs its oil,
It also needs its coolant,
To stop it over boil.
So next time you’re not feeling well,
Think of yourself as a car,
If you look after the bodywork,
It will take you really far.

Elevated Thought. Elevate your thought process,
To a place that’s far away,
You only need a short time there,
You do not need to stay.
Sit there in the quietude,
When there is no one about,
Ask them to come and talk to you,
They will come through, without a doubt.
Think of all the things you see,
And what you don’t understand,
Ask for other messages,
Don’t expect or just demand.
The memories you will be sent,
Will be clear and distinct,
You will decipher these quite easily,
And you will not need to think.
So when you have the answers,
For you to just believe,
Thank them all for helping you,
And you’re ready then to leave.

LIFE IS LIKE A TRAIN DRIVER IN LIFE YOU'RE LIKE A TRAIN DRIVER
READY JUST TO DRIVE.
IN LIFE YOULL HAVE YOUR UPS AND DOWNS
YOULL LEARN JUST TO SURVIVE
YOU START THERE AT THE STATION
WAITING FOR THE WHISTLE TO BE BLOWN.
THE GREEN LIGHTS THERE AHEAD OF YOU
UNTIL YOUR FULLY GROWN
YOU'VE STARTED GOING FORWARD
THERE IS NO GOING BACK
THE ROUTE IS SET AHEAD OF YOU
JUST LIKE THE RAILWAY TRACK.
LIKE JUNCTIONS, THERE'S DECISIONS
WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE
ONCE YOU DECIDE WHICH WAY TO GO
THIS LIFE YOULL HAVE TO MAKE
LIKE TROUBLES THERE ARE TUNNELS
I KNOW THAT THIS IS TRUE
YOU NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE NOW
YOU NEED TO STRUGGLE THROUGH.
FOR JUST AROUND THE CORNER
THE WAY THAT LIFES TRACK BENDS
THERE WILL BE A STOP BLOCK
AND THAT'S WHERE LIFES JOURNEY ENDS

Railway Track Danger. They don't understand the dangers,
Whilst playing on the railway track,
If they get hit by the train,
There is no coming back. Just hope to god that they will see,
As the train is getting near,
Although they will be frightened,
With a body full of fear. Hopefully, the driver will see them,
And take a second glance,
Then the brakes will be applied,
This is their second chance. Please help and stop your children,
From playing on the railway track,
There will be a bigger chance tonight,
That your child will be coming back. Written by David Boyce

The Night.
As darkness falls,
full of sorrow.
For night is here,
Until the morrow.
As darkness falls,
Across the land.
Across the sea,
Across the sand.
The moon comes out,
In all its might.
It shines on earth,
Throughout the night
As dusk arrives.
The sun does rise.
A new day starts,
Another, Surprise.

The Sounds of drums are calling.
The Sounds of drums are calling,
Up and down the street,
Calling all those who need to go,
Where loved ones, once again will meet. The Sounds of drums are calling,
With a prominent beat,
Loved ones are waiting patiently,
On the other side to greet. The Sounds of drums are calling,
To the ill and the infirm,
This is your chance to leave this life,
Now this is your turn. The Sounds of drums are calling,
You will hear until you leave,
You need to walk in to the light,
And leave your family grieve. Written By David Boyce ©

Don't be frightened of dying.
Don't be frightened of dying,
We all have to go,
Some people do get warnings,
So they already know. So when you've had an illness,
And the whispers you hear are true,
This will be your loved ones,
Telling you they are there for you. When you see the shadows,
Of people standing within sight,
They are there to show you,
We are waiting within the light. So when you think you're ready,
Talk to your loved ones there,
When you pass through the white light,
They will all be there. Written by David Boyce ©

When I lay down beside you.
When I lay down beside you,
Sometimes, late at night,
I look at your face,
That is shining so bright. I think of the times,
We have had together,
On all different days,
In all kinds of weather. I look at your smile,
Whilst you dream, still asleep,
And inside your head,
Many of them will keep. I look at you breathe,
Some shallow, some deep,
I watch you in silence,
Until I fall asleep. Written By David Boyce

Your Own Ability.
Only you know your ability,
Only you can make it strong,
If you take time and concentrate,
It shouldn't take you very long.
You will get out, what you put in,
And it's all within your grasp,
Sometimes you will learn all alone,
And sometimes you will have to ask. There will be times you'll need to sit,
In a group and not alone,
You can learn from others,
With experiences, of their own. Written by David Boyce ©

NEW YEARS EVE
THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR
THEY CALL IT NEW YEARS EVE
LOOK BACK AT ALL THE MEMORIES
THIS YEAR YOU’RE GOING TO LEAVE
SOME YOU WILL CHERISH ALWAYS
AND KEEP FOR ALL IT’S WORTH
BECAUSE SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU
HAS BEEN GIFTED WITH A BIRTH
SOME OTHERS YOU WISH TO FORGET
BUT KNOW YOU NEVER WILL
FOR SOMEONE CLOSE PASSED OVER
AND SOME WERE NEVER ILL
SOME WILL BE VERY PLEASANT
AND CLOSE TO YOUR HEART
SIT DOWN AND LIST THE GOOD THINGS
BACK TO JANUARY MAKE A START
SO WHEN YOU FEEL UNHAPPY
IN THE NEW UPCOMING YEAR
SIT DOWN AND READ YOUR MEMORIES
AND SMILE FROM EAR TO EAR
DON’T PONDER ON THE BAD THINGS NOW
ONLY TEARS WILL BE SHED
FOR TOMORROW IS A NEW START
A NEW YEAR IS AHEAD

Winters day.
Today the sun is shining,
With an ever brighter glow,
The temperatures gone really cold,
And they say it may even snow.
Everything is frozen white,
A blanket of frost across the floor,
The brightness of the sun reflects,
And makes it look like snow.
If you’re taking photographs,
The scenery looks really nice,
But it is very dangerous,
As the water turns to ice.
By afternoon the frost has gone,
You feel the heat upon your face,
The Gritting Lorries will be out tonight,
For your safety, just in case.

I ASK OF YOU
I ASK OF YOU
TO SPEAK WITH ME
WHEN IT IS SAFE
AND I AM FREE
I ASK OF YOU
TO BRING TO ME
FRIENDS, RELATIVES
AND FAMILY
I ASK OF YOU
TO SAY TO ME
A SECRET THING
OR MEMORY
I ASK OF YOU
TO HELP ME LEARN
TO SEND ME THOUGHTS
I CAN CONFIRM

WATERS EDGE
I AM SITTING HERE
AT THE WATERS EDGE MY BODY PERCHED UP ON THIS LEDGE
THE WATERS DEEP AND LOOKS SO COLD MY MIND DRIFTS OFF TO MEMORIES OF OLD
I THINK OF THE TIMES WHEN WE WOULD MEET AS THE WATER FLOWS AROUND MY FEET
WE WOULD STROLE AROUND BOTH ARM IN ARM AS I CONCENTRATE ON THE WATERS CALM

Walking the dogs.
Many times we’d take the dogs out,
For their daily walk.
We’d go out for a wonder,
On the way we’d have a talk.
The dogs ran round so happily
Sometimes they’d even clash
They’d run around like idiots
In the big field and long grass.
I remember like its yesterday
As if a big long dream
On the way home we’d stop for five
So the dogs drank at the stream.
The memories of yesteryear
When I was but a child
When we had a laugh and a joke
With the dogs just running wild.

Anniversary.
An anniversary is a confirmation,
Of the time you’ve had together.
Things change, for both of you constantly,
Just like the daily weather.
Both of you have lots of love
In the time, which you have spent.
Only the two of you will know,
What that love really meant.
An anniversary is a stepping stone,
To help you through your life.
It shows love and commitment,
Between a husband and a wife.

I REMEMBER
I REMEMBER THE DAY,
YOU WAVED ME OFF, GOODBYE.
YOUR GRINNING SMILE,
AND TEAR IN YOUR EYE.
I REMEMBER THE THINGS YOU SAID TO ME,
COS YOU SAID THEM OUT SO LOUD.
“SON YOU MAKE ME HAPPY,
YOU REALLY MAKE ME PROUD"
I WORE MY UNIFORM AT GROUND ZERO,
WITH YOUR SMILE STILL IN MY HEAD.
AS I THOUGHT HOW I MISSED YOU ALL,
LIKE THE FAMILIES OF ZEROS DEAD.

Lifes challenges. As long as you are happy,
That is all that counts,
Don’t worry about the rumours,
Happiness is paramount.
Some think they know everything,
About you and your life,
But there are certain things kept,
Between a husband and a wife.
Ahead, the time is challenging,
And things you must decide,
Look forward and think carefully,
These choices you’ll have to abide.
Life is full of decisions,
Nobody knows what’s around the bend,
Remember you’re not all alone,
Things will turn ok in the end.

Tranquil surroundings.
When you know you are dieing,
And you don’t have very long,
Talk to those already there,
To help keep you very strong.
Your faith is irrelevant,
And the same you are all treated,
Your faith will help you through this life,
Until the day that you are greeted.
The day that you feel ready,
Just walk towards the light,
Your illness will be taken away,
And your soul will feel so bright.
A totally different feeling,
No fear or alarm,
Just tranquil surroundings,
This will make you very calm.

If I don’t wake up in the morning.
If I don’t wake up in the morning,
Give everyone my love,
I will be watching over you,
From the heavens up above.
Thank them for the help they gave,
To me whilst I was there,
For the happiness and laughter,
We had together each year.
To my lovely children,
Who will be crying for some time?
I will be beside you forever,
As you go along your own lifeline.
Don’t be hard on others,
Don’t swear or rant and rave,
Remember all the times we had,
And all the love we gave.
If I don’t wake up in the morning,
I will be waiting next to god,
We will meet again some day,
When you’re ready, give me the nod.
