We will always pray for you daily. I will take time out of my day, I will speak to you in a while, I will tell you all my troubles, As I remember your smile.
I will stop what I am doing, No matter if important or not, Because I need to let you know, You will never be forgot. We still need to think about, The times we had when you were here, Our daily lives are still very busy, But we need to keep our time together so pure.
We sometimes need some guidance, So we will still ask you for your advice, Although we won't always here you answer, Things normally seem to turn out nice.
You will always be in my memories, Although we are many miles apart, We will always pray for you daily, Because you're always in our hearts.

I look up into the sky today. I look up into the sky today, And wonder how different it would have been, If you were still here with us here, And life wasn't so mean. We know that loss hits everybody, Once in a while, But we cannot forget you ever, Or that beaming happy smile. For all parents are special, And have a very special bond together, The hurt of loss deep within, Our broken hearts forever.
Throughout life we learn many lessons, And served many bitter blows, But nothing will ever hurt as much, Than when your loved one goes. I look up into the sky and think, How different life would be, Feeling alone and forgotten, Like a solemn boat upon the sea. Written by David Boyce 07 July 2014
This place is known as Heaven.
Come ye' my friend to this place, A place so very pure, A place without any illness, So there is no need for a cure.
A land of many forefathers, A place full of so much knowledge, A place with many questions answered, Without needing to attend university or college.
A place so vast there is no border, A place without any needs, A place without any wealth, And therefore not any greed.
This place is known as Heaven, A place we will all go on our calling day, A place for those who have left us already, We will all kneel down to pray.

Divine Intervention. We all get divine intervention,
Throughout our required times in life,
Sometimes you may not be aware,
They have just saved you from strife. We all will suffer some sort of loss,
No matter who you are,
And when you ask for proof they are still there,
You may see a shouting star. We can all get divine intervention,
Asking rather than running to hide,
You simply need to find your connections,
With your own Spiritual Guides. Divine intervention is there,
From the day of your birth ,
And will be available to us all,
Until one day we return back into the earth.

The Warmth. The warmth upon my body,
The warmth upon my bare feet,
The lovely sunny weather,
In the Mediterranean heat. The warm winds blowing freely,
Swaying all the tall palms,
Blowing down my face ,
Down my body and my arms. My mind is so relaxed,
My body so at ease,
As I lay down to write,
In this early morning sea breeze.
The warmth of the sun,
Shines down upon my head,
No clouds up in the sky today,
And my body getting red. Written by David Boyce

As long as I sense you near me As long as I sense you near me,
I fear nothing bad,
I feel the loss inside,
Living without you dad. I feel a little shiver,
As I sense you near,
I feel so protected now,
And I have nothing to fear. As days go by without you,
In my solitary mind,
You were taken away too early,
And this world is so unkind. In my heart I will always miss you,
But I try not to be too sad,
Because we had some great memories,
Whilst I was with my dad. Written by David Boyce

There is a soft whisper There is a soft whisper,
At the moment it is too faint to hear,
I don't know if it is for me yet,
So I will wait for it to be much more clear. I can ask them questions in my mind,
Then wait for the answers to come through,
I get a tingle around my shoulder blades,
When I know the messages are true. Your spirit guides may need to speak to you,
And give you personal affirmations,
But if it is meant for someone else,
You may need to seek their confirmation. When I hear a spirits voice,
It may not last for very long,
The messages may start very faint,
But by the end it will be strong.

Shadows. Shadows cast upon the ground,
From the trees so high,
Moving along the grass,
As the sun moves in the sky. Shadows cast from every object,
Which makes them look distorted to the side,
As the sun manoeuvres through the day,
You have to change positions to hide. Shadows help some people,
To keep their bodies cool,
Staying out of the suns direct heat,
Whilst sunbathing by the pool. Shadows cast from early morning,
And all the day long,
Until the night time falls again,
When the sun has gone. Written by David Boyce

Windy palms.The palm trees moving violently,
Like the calm before the storm,
The high branches are bending,
From a windy early morn. The heat soaking up the water,
The sun heating up the ground,
As the wind still whistles through the trees,
With an intermittent swishing sound. Lots of leaves are falling off,
Under all of the strain,
The wind blowing high,
But there still is no rain. Just like a boats high sails,
The branches bending to their full extent,
Some slowly breaking and snapping off,
Under the pressure of being constantly bent.

The Water. The water shines and glistens,
With all the light refractions,
The glow constantly changing directions,
With all the waves reactions. The relaxing sound of the water,
On the nearby rocks it lightly lashes,
The delicate sound of small fish,
As the water bubbles and splashes. As the sun shines over the moving fish,
And they slowly swim around,
Making the numbers of fish look more,
From the casting shadows upon the ground. The movement on the water surface,
Is very slow within this place,
As the sunlight on the water sparkles,
And falls upon your face. Written by David Boyce

In life we need to be prepared In life we need to be prepared,
To be down trodden from many places,
By people who think they own you,
With their inherited heirs and graces. Just because they are wealthy,
They think they can treat you like dirt,
With no thought of you as a person,
Or how much inside you hurt. Doing all the remedial work,
Treating you like slave labour.
Paying you the bare minimum required,
And think they are doing you a favour. Sometimes we have to bite our tongues,
To stop us losing any work,
But just because you're employed by them,
They don't need to treat you like a jerk. In life you must be prepared,
To stick up for yourself,
Living with your own self-respect,
Is far better than any wealth.

We live in hope We live in hope for those around us,
To keep them safe every day,
We will sit in solitude,
For them all we will pray. We live in hope for good health,
And for cures for those who are not well,
And those with chronic illnesses,
Who daily have to go through hell ! We live in hope for those missing,
Away from their families care.
We pray for their safe keeping,
No matter why or where ! We live in hope for worldwide peace,
And the end of religious wars,
Killing and injuring innocent people,
Just to settle old scores. We live in hope that just one day,
This world will be a safer place,
Where instead of drought and famine,
We will see just smiles on every child's face.

Life goes on Some people are inconsolable,
When their loved ones has departed,
They feel they are in a void now,
And their downfall has started. This life is just like a book,
And this chapter had to end,
But a new one will be starting,
Just around the bend !
You will undoubtedly feel emotional,
As your life has been torn apart.
And it feels like a game of snakes and ladders,
Being sent right back to restart.
The memories of your loved one,
Will be with you until your demise,
No matter how long this happens to be,
You will have many tears in your eyes.
Your loved one wouldn't want you to stop,
Just because they have now gone,
If they were sat beside you now,
They would tell you " Life goes on ".

Divorce I feel I am on the road to ruins,
I have been blown off course,
My marriage is breaking down,
And we are having a divorce.
We need to split belongings,
Purchased together over many years,
Some things are very precious,
Which may cause some fallen tears.
There was nobody else involved,
We have just simply grown apart.
The love is no longer there,
Deep within our tender hearts.
Although it starts out amicable,
I fear anger will soon set in,
For it's hard for both sides,
Once the legalities starts to begin. There will be family who will be upset,
About the break up and divorce,
But look forward to the future,
And get your life back on course.

We all wish we could turn back time
In hindsight there are many things,
We would probably change,
Things we would have done for our loved ones,
And our priorities rearranged.
We don't realise until they've gone,
To the heavens up above,
That you wish you could've spent more time,
With the ones you loved.
Sadly it is not possible,
To later turn back the clock.
For once their final breath has lapsed,
On heaven's door they will need to knock. We all wish we could turn back time,
To give them one final kiss,
To tell them how much you love them,
And how much they will be missed.

Domestic violence You beat me up for no reason,
You beat me black and blue,
I ask you why you do this,
But even you're not sure.
You beat me full of bruises,
But they are always out of sight,
You beat me when you're drinking,
So it could be any day or night.
These bruises are all purple,
Before going orange and brown.
These are hidden by my clothing,
When you hit me whilst being down.
When you sober up you say you don't remember,
All the things you did to me,
But when I show you all the injuries,
It's quite clear for you to see.
I loved you when we first met,
But this violence is a drag,
No woman should have to go through this,
Just leave now , I've already packed your bag!

Holiday flight abroad. We taxi down the runway,
The plane engines roaring loud,
Hearing the undercarriage lifting,
As we go up into the clouds. As we fly quickly forward,
We hit a patch of turbulence,
The people walking inside the plane ,
Are all knocked off balance. Food isn't served like old times,
Not everybody has a cooked meal,
Many people having snacks instead,
It's not a massive deal. The blue skies and the clouds outside,
The horizon glowing orange and yellow,
Looking through the port hole type windows,
Passengers just being very mellow. The descent was long and slow,
As we hear the lowering of the landing gear,
Not long until we touch down at the airport,
And the resort is quite near.

Within nature's own charms. In this calm and tranquil place, Not far away from the sea, Is a great place to relax, And a peaceful place to be. With the natural silence, And the early morning sounds of birds, The splashing of the oceans waves, Can also just be heard. The sound of local insects, Singing out from their trees, A continuous chirping sound, As I sit relaxed and at ease. The slight rustling sounds, From the bushes and the palms, So peaceful just to sit down, Within nature's own charms. Written by David Boyce 10 August 2014
Just them and me. I am glad that I can communicate, Whilst I sit here and pray, And thank the lord for the memories, Wishing they were here today. On the hot sunny mornings, I close my eyes and recall, Many holidays in the past, With the family as a whole. The sound of the rippling pool water, So relaxing and tranquil, Bringing back the clear memories, As though they are still here. The cool breezes blowing, Up from the local sea, It helps to change my mind-set, With just them and me. Written by David Boyce 12 August 2014
With a smile and loving wink. I knew that I was passing over, And soon my time to die, I had to use all my energy, To try to open up my eyes. I could feel a sense of silence, And the brightest of white glow, But I needed to see my loved ones, Just before I would go. I managed to just open them, And prise my eyelids apart, As I sensed an overwhelming feeling, Of my slowly beating heart. I managed to see my loved ones, As life's end came to the brink, With a tear in my eye, I left you all, With a smile and a loving wink. Written by David Boyce 23 August 14
How different life would’ve been. I sometimes sit down and wonder, How different life would’ve been, The obstacles we would have overcome, And celebrations you would’ve seen.
The birth of Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren, And pushing them in their prams, Congratulating them all doing well, In their sports and their exams.
But all that we can do, Now that you have gone, Is live in hope that these messages, Our god just passes on.
For now all we can do is hope, That one day we will all meet again, Sending you all our love and messages, And our prayers until them.

A happier life it will be.
Throughout like you will have arguments, And some disagreements too, Sometimes the outcome may change , By decisions made by you.
This may be caused by bickering, Or something said by another, But family bonds are precious, Between children, fathers and mothers.
Arguments can split up families, It may become a missive rift, Some may not speak for years, And apart the bonds will drift.
You will all need to talk together, Sit down with a cup of tea, For life is made to live with love, And a happier life it will be.

Fight for peace. In a world of deceit and anger, And what are deemed as religious rights, With many civilians killed each day, Because they feel they need to fight. With so many fanatical leaders, Brainwashed from a low age, With their personal anger and frustrations, They use others to release their rage. Religion is not about fighting, Or sending people to war, It should be used for peace and harmony, And not killing more and more. We all have individual rights, We all have our own beliefs, Our religion will tell us to love each other, Don't fight for war , Fight for peace!
Written by David Boyce 28 August 14
When you are happy to move forward.
When you are happy to move forward, And forget about the rocky past, Coming from a relationship, Which was never going to last.
Both partners need to work at it, All the way from the start, Because love isn't guaranteed forever, It's set deep within your heart.
We will all go through rocky times, Feeling down and really sad, But if you both work at it, You can gain what you both once had.
A relationship is like a magnet, It takes the two poles to react, If this is no longer the case, It will simply just retract.
If you both believe you're unhappy, And you think this isn't it, Don't mellow in the past any longer, And make a decision just to split.
Written by David Boyce 15 September 2014
Where your life once shone.
Our aura glows out many colours, Bright yellows and gold, From the day we are born, Until we all grow old.
Like a torch we will shine, With a light so bright, To help us see clearer, In the dark of night.
Like a well-used torch, Your energy burns much quicker. Same as when bad health takes over, It starts to go dim and flicker.
Your soul will live eternally, When your physical life has gone, Your spirit energy continues, Where your life once shone.
Written by David Boyce 19 September 2014
The Sea from hell.
I have never known, Of such a water swell, Waves so high and rough, A sea from hell.
The waves so violent, Giving the ships a thrashing, Rolling towards land, Where they come in crashing.
Causing chaos everywhere it flows, So many people in strife, But we prayer with hope, There is no loss of life.
Buildings and homes damaged, Some beyond any repair, Causing so much stress, Upset and despair.
We all need to treat the seas, With a bit of respect, It has a lot more power and force, Than we can ever expect.
