| Aunty Maureen. Today we are upset, Because you had to go, We all have lots of memories, Of our Aunty Mau. She was a loving mother, And a supportive loving wife, She has endured lots of heartache and pain, Throughout her latter life. We loved our Uncle Mike and Aunty Maureen, You always meant so much to me, We will miss you lots forever, Now both together again for eternity. We will soon gather together, To show that we all care, To say our last farewell, And say a loving prayer. Written by David Boyce 06 April 2015
Knowing life never really ends. I know there is an angel, Watching over me, I sometimes sense them beside me, Although I cannot see. I think it is a loved one, Someone who I have known, They visit me regularly, To see how I have grown. I often feel a spine shiver, And tingle running through my hair, I often think about you, And then know you are there. It’s good to believe there’s heaven, And there are spirit friends, It also gives us comfort, Knowing life never really ends. Written by David Boyce 08 April 2015
We have shed so many tears. We have shed so many tears, After the loss of you, But it was overtaken by heartache, Once we realised the loss was true. We often sit in solitude, Everything seems like a strain, Suffering here alone in silence, Taking in all the sadness and pain. Our lives were shattered, Our minds jumbled in a mess, The constant reminder of no longer seeing you, Building up all the mental stress. But we do have some comfort, Knowing you are no longer suffering anymore, So much bitterness you felt within yourself, When you finally had to go. Written by David Boyce 11 April 2015
Smile and forget the bad. As I stare deeply, Out into the yonder, My thoughts flood back, To those loved ones here no longer. We remember them all, As they lived on this earth, For who they were deep down, Not for what they were worth. Think of all the positive times together, Smile and forget the bad, Because any negative thoughts you have, Will just make you feel sad. As time goes by in your life, You may have less to regret, The feelings may hurt deep down, But you may learn to forgive and forget. Written by David Boyce 12 April 2015
Before I fall asleep. I see your face in my mind so clearly, I still feel your tender touch, I remember the cwtches we had, I miss them all so much. When I hear a door creek at home, I still call out your name, Since the day you left, It is definitely not the same. Every day I sit down and cry, And I ask the question, Why ? Such a loving person like you, Was chosen to suffer and die. I pray for you every night, The memories of you I keep, So your face is the last thing I see, Before I fall asleep.

Stand tall and full of pride. Sometimes in life we go through stages, With many apprehensions, We make many difficult decisions, Often with very big intentions. Over time our lifestyle changes, Those intentions may have passed, And the commitment you once had, Was difficult to keep and unable to last. It may mean you need to leave a role, You have endured for many years, And the decisions you need to make, Will make you shed a few tears. You can stand there in judgement to yourself, Feeling sorrow deep inside, But with the past commitments shown, Stand tall and full of pride. Written by David Boyce 27 April 2015
We all have golden memories. We all have golden memories, Of someone we love, Who sadly are no longer here, As they were recalled to heaven up above. We like to think of the nice times, For the memories to stay, They are often family trips, Or holidays you had away. We all need golden memories, To keep our loved ones memories to carry on, And we can talk to others openly about them, Instead of being sad because they have gone. We often need to visualise, A special time or special place, This generally makes you happier, And puts a smile back on your face. Written by David Boyce 02 May 2015
We need this lovely rain water The heavens start to open up, We are just waiting for the rain, Then we hear the usual sounds, Of the pitter patter on the window pane. The raindrops start to gather, To form a much large pool, Ready for the children to jump into, Whilst walking into school. The rain falls in many forms, Sometimes fine and also very heavy drops, But no matter how it falls to earth, We are much happier when it stops. Rain can make you feel miserable, And very sad indeed, But water in its natural form, Is something we all really need. So no matter how it makes us feel, Or what we all think, We need this lovely rain water, To wash things and to drink Written by David Boyce 02 May 2015
For his excellent contributions to others When we were in our youth, Many teachers we all had, But there was a very special one, Who treated you like he was your dad. When you chose not to listen thou, If he was talking to you or not, You had to keep your peripheral vision open, With his bunch of keys he was a top shot. He was an amazing mentor to thousands, In the classroom or on the pitch, This is why he is respected by so many still, The man they call “ Dai Pritch ”. If you ever struggled with anything in life, He would always tell you “Just do your best ”, It was not his actual height in size, Which made him stand above all the rest. No matter what your ability was, In everything that Furdy taught, Throughout the Cynon Valley schools, He was always close to a sport. It is because he excelled in his career, Through sport and fitness taught his own way, The influence he had on thousands of kids, Made us all the adults we are today. For his excellent contributions to others, In school and throughout sport, We give him a Life Achievement Award, From all who he has taught Written by David Boyce 12 May 2015
The memories we need to retain for eternity They say some things happen for a reason, But I sometimes really wonder why, Because they can be so upsetting, And make you feel you want to just cry. It may be the loss of something precious to you, A ring, a bracelet or a necklace, Given to you by a loved one, Some things you just cannot replace. It is really hard to try to explain, The hurt and anger you feel to another, Especially when things you lose, Are from a long lost father or mother We all have those sentimental items, Which we want back when they are lost, The memories we need to retain for eternity, No matter at what cost.
