Forever in our hearts and memories xx
Basking and Bathing

When the sun comes out,
It helps us cope,
We all start to smile,
Instead of sitting down to mope.

The sun really helps us,
To bring out the happiness,
Helping people to relax,
Full of calmness and less stress.

People's moods can change,
Like the daily weather will,
Hope the sun keeps shining,
Cos it's like having a happy pill.

When the sun shines really hot,
Giving you a radiant tan,
Basking and bathing,
Should be your only plan.

I spoke to you this morning.

I spoke to you this morning,
And it's wrong what people say,
Because I still miss you so much,
Since the day you passed away.

The feelings of loss has never left me,
Some days I miss you more than others,
And I talk about the memories,
With my sister and my brothers.

There are many days throughout the year,
I will have tears in my eyes,
There will be days full of emotion,
And I just feel I need to cry.

We know you had to leave us,
Because the illness was so bad,
But I need to let you know,
We really miss you, Dad !

We will keep asking a question why !

As I stare out of the window,
To a place out far beyond the sky,
Full of loss and sadness
Asking the question why !

We will all lose someone special,
Who we will meet within our time here,
Some we will know all our lives,
With many memories to share.

At times we will feel emotional,
Many times we will cry,
And through life we will not understand,
We will keep asking a question why !

As I stare out of the window,
Thinking of the years gone past,
I thank the lord for crossing our paths,
For those memories will forever last.

We all feel down at some point.

We all feel down at some point
Because a loved one has gone,
We grieve for those we lost to spirit,
As life has to now move on.

The heartaches and emotions,
Can lead to your own ill health,
But remember they wouldn't want you to be this way,
And not to look after yourself.

We can all remember our loved ones,
At those special times throughout the year,
And sometimes it's good to speak to others,
With all the memories to share.

Don't ever feel you're all alone,
Or feel people no longer care,
Because you only need to ask for help,
And those who love you, will be there !

Until we are all one day together.

Our father who art in heaven,
Who we loved every day,
We talk about you all the time,
And at night for you we pray.

We lost you to an illness,
And we knew you were unwell,
But the day you passed away,
Our lives were shattered and turned to hell.

We know you didn't want to leave,
But you simply had no choice,
We know you winked to show you loved us,
Because you had no voice.

Our father who art in heaven,
You're in our memories forever,
We will love you with all our hearts,
Until we are all one day together.

When you are ready.

We will come to visit you,
At your time of need,
You may or may not recognise us,
But we will be there indeed.

In our spiritual visitations,
We will bring loved ones along,
So you can see for yourself,
That your soul still lives on.

When you're in your final stages,
And ready to come over,
It's a swift move from your body,
Just like a super nova.

Throughout your earthly life,
You have never really been alone,
So we will be here to meet you,
On you final journey to come home.

We are known as Guides and Angels,
To those who do believe,
But we will be there for everyone,
When it is your time to leave.

Dear lord I have some questions.

Dear lord, I have some questions,
I really need to ask,
Before my life is over,
And I complete my final tasks.

Will I meet my dear father ?,
And the ones I love,
When it's my day to cross over,
To the heavens up above.

Will I leave my illness behind ?,
When I have to move on,
And when I leave my body,
Will the pain and suffering be gone ?

I know we all can make mistakes,
Sometimes led down the wrong pathways,
And forgiveness may be asked for those,
Upon my final days.

Dear lord, I have done so much good,
To overshadow any bad sins,
I hope when my soul returns to you,
My purification will begin.

When you are feeling nervous.

When you are feeling nervous,
Coiled up and all on edge,
Your heart is beating fast,
Just like being on a ledge.

The anxiety starts to take over,
Your heart rate will increase more,
Your body will start to tremor
Right deep down into the core.

You will start to heat up faster,
Your brow will start to perspire,
Your mind now works overtime,
And then you will start to tire.

So when you are feeling very nervous,
Or feeling you're going into a panic attack,
Set down and breathe slowly and deeply,
Close your eyes and just lay back.

Your body is very complex,
It's an amazing bit of kit,
But it can only work correctly,
As long as you look after it.

Give you more memories to keep.

I no longer have any questions,
I no longer have any fears,
I no longer have any doubts,
I can no longer cry any tears.

I now look down upon the living,
From the heavens up above,
And I am sending a message,
To all those who I love.

I no longer need any medication,
To take the pains away,
I no longer need the needles anymore,
To help me through each day.

I will always be there with you,
I will visit when you're asleep,
I will kiss you on the forehead,
And give you more memories to keep.

Dementia is an illness.

A disease like dementia,
Is so cruel and unkind,
It changes people's mannerisms,
And plays tricks with their minds.

Many lose their short term memory,
But their long term memories are still there,
They may become frustrated and angry,
And may need some specialist care.

We know it's hard to make decisions,
But you will need to decide,
Because many people cannot cope,
Don't matter how hard they tried.

Please remember it is sometimes for the best,
Although it may make you feel sad,
Dementia is an illness in the brain,
And your loved ones are not just mad.

Don't ever feel you need to struggle,
With your loved ones daily tasks,
Contact the right people in Healthcare,
Don't struggle, please just ask.

  To all those we have loved and lost xx.

Ode to Dai James

I went to Old Oak Common,
To work on steam trains with B.R.,
This passion for transport and the Railway,
Make us all what we are.

I was also a Retained Fireman,
Something not many knows,
As I worked out of Abercynon Fire Station,
On the old Fire engine with the long reel hose.

It's according to where you know me from,
As I was known by many names,
Like Dai Photos, Dai Copper or Dai Water-board,
But I would answer to them all, Just the same.

For many years I was a Special Constable,
And in work they would take the mick,
But this did not bother me at all,
When I went to work down the local nick.

I will always love my darling wife,
All of my children and true friends,
Those who stayed close while I was suffering,
Right up to the bitter end.

I have to go now to dispatch these trains,
In the little Railway depot in the sky,
For now my family, friends and colleagues,
I will have to say, Goodbye !

Until we meet again.

Dear Lord, take care of this man,
Now his earthly life has come to an end,
Always the true gentleman,
And a very special friend.

The loss of a loved one,
Is hard to comprehend,
And a heart so broken,
Is very hard to mend.

Please look down upon his family
And smother them with love,
As he leaves us torn apart,
And he comes to you up above.

Dear Lord, please take good care of him,
As we cry tears like rain,
I leave him in your care now,
Until we meet again !

In your own special way.

You no longer have a smile,
Upon your loving face,
Because at this time,
Your life feels a lonely place.

Your heart has been broken,
Because they could not stay,
And your loss feels more barren,
On Valentine's Day.

The unbearable pain,
From such a loss is hard,
So you still write your thoughts,
And your feelings onto a card.

You know they cannot read it,
Because they are with God today,
But this helps you to cope,
In your own special way.

With bitter consequences.

The howling winds,
From across the seas,
They hit our homes,
With a whistling breeze.

The choppy waters,
The waves crashing into land,
This stormy weather,
Is getting out of hand.

The rain still keeps falling,
Upon our sodden land,
People trying to save so much,
With their rescue plans.

So many homes are getting flooded,
As water smashes down the fences,
So much personal loss and pain,
With bitter consequences.

15 February 2014In the early hours of the dawn.


In the early hours of the dawn.

It's the early hours in the morning,
And you see many people yawn,
As many have quickly left their beds,
In the early hours of the dawn.

Many still looking tired,
Not fully awake,
So many sleepless hours,
Less than relaxation normally takes.

Some running around like headless chickens,
Because they slept through an alarm,
They need to stop and take a deep breath,
To bring back a little bit of calm.

Then you have the others,
Who work their shifts at night !
Just longing for their beds,
To curl up nice and tight.

No matter what, we will hear the birds,
In the early dawn they sing,
Not knowing what is ahead of us,
Or what this new day brings.

It is hard to hold back feelings.

It is hard to hold back feelings,
When someone close to you dies,
You will feel full of emotions,
And have constant teary eyes.

It is hard to release tension,
With all the worry and stress,
You're trying to fight emotions,
And your head feels like a mess.

It is hard to believe your loved one's gone,
As you seem to constantly cry,
It may take you a while to get over this,
But it's up to you to try.

Without malice or regret.

We open up our hearts and minds,
As we sit down here today,
We will try to communicate with spirit,
And write down what they will say.

We will do this full of laughter,
With love and lots of fun,
And throughout this communication,
We hope to become one.

We don't communicate through use of speech,
We do it all by our thought,
We can communicate with spirit,
Although we may not have been taught.

As our spirit friends come closer,
We ask our Spirit Guides to protect,
So we can write down words of wisdom,
Without malice or regret.

The old railway.

The old railway is not the same,
Since it fell onto Breeching's block,
Stations closed and rail beds raised,
And they got rid of old rolling stock.

These days they are all privatised,
And it's starting to recover,
The track itself run by Network Rail,
The rolling stock by several others.

With a few more new stations opening,
But still less than we still really need,
As the company coffers get bigger,
Due to bigger profit and greed.

Many of the old lines are derelict,
Others are simply gone,
As old land was sold off by B.R.,
And many rail yards built upon.

The railway supplies a public service still,
A lot different to the old B.R. days,
With many companies and shareholders,
And higher safety standards to be praised

Through that extra mile.

A ray of happiness,
A ray of hope,
A ray of sunshine,
To help you cope.

A glancing wink,
A glancing smile,
To help your journey,
Through that extra mile.

With a heart of gold,
And a smile so bright,
You will be watched over,
By your guides at night.

Just believe in your mind.


Don't doubt your own ability,
Don't doubt what you can do,
Don't doubt the messages,
And the things spirit sends through.

Don't doubt you are a medium,
Don't doubt what is in your head,
Don't doubt the love in messages,
As it's only the body which is dead.

Don't doubt what is impressed upon you,
Don't doubt the feelings deep inside,
Don't doubt the strong emotions,
That many people will hide.

Don't doubt when people say No,
Don't doubt when spirit says Yes,
Don't doubt those tingles,
Because spirit knows best.

Don't doubt you have a special gift,
Don't doubt what you give in kind,
Don't doubt that you can do it,
And just believe in your mind.

In our hearts and minds forever

A young life has been taken away,
Due to long illness and suffering,
So much heartache and pain,
At the start of this year's spring.

Even though ill for so long,
You would always go that extra mile,
Singing songs and laughing often,
Just to see you mam smile.

So many children are heartbroken today,
With the loss of a school friend,
And you all stayed close in touch,
Right through until the tragic end.

The family are all devastated,
A child was taken so young,
The voices of coral angels can be heard singing,
Without a word ever being sung.

Lots of tears will be shed for you,
For such a loss leaves a void,
With a family in tatters now,
And a future together destroyed.

We can all sit in faithful silence,
And say a little prayer together,
By keeping their memories alive,
They will stay in our hearts and minds forever.

I often sit and wonder

I often sit and wonder,
What life is ahead of me ?,
I often come back with the answer often,
Whatever will be, will be!.

In life we will have many troubles,
Full of anguish and very sad,
Loss of children, aunts and uncles,
Grandparents, mams and dads.

There will always be someone,
To talk to you at times like these,
Who will be there to listen,
And help the sadness to ease.

Life may be full of sadness,
But there will also be some joys,
When relatives, friends and loved ones,
Have their baby girls and boys.

So if you are feeling sad right now,
Reflect on the happy memories,
For through life we will cry lots,
With many happy and sad tears
