Ian Power

I dreamed last night of Heaven,
As I follwed you there,
I felt your presence, heard your heart,
I almost touched your hair.

I remember crying,
Just because I missed you so,
Though I was right behind you,
I didn't want you to go.

I begged for a reminder,
To help me see your face,
A thing to hold and touch,
But it left an empty place.

I looked for you in everything,
I asked for you by name,
I know that you were with me there,
I'll never be the same.

I dreamed last night of Heaven,
I ache for one more glimpse,
Of the love I felt while near you,
And the beautiful heart I miss.

Mary Webb 5 days ago

No one knew the torment,
that you were going through;
We only kept on seeing
What we really wanted to.

We saw the outward smile,
but not your inner pain;
We never really dreamt,
That you would never smile again.

Forgive us if we failed to see,
What we could do to aid;
Or if we failed to comprehend,
How much you were afraid.

We pray your mental anguish,
Will now forever cease;
And that your deep anxieties,
Will be replaced by peace.

We know your pain invaded,
Every single thought you had;
It made you cry internally,
And deeply, deeply sad.

But we in turn remember,
The good times, not the bad;
We remember when you smiled at us,
And not when you were sad.

So when we think about your life,
We won't dwell upon its close;
We'll remember all the good times,
And forget about life's blows.

We'll remember all the happiness,
The joy and not the tears;
The assurance and the confidence,
And not irrational fears.

Our lives have all been better,
Because you have been there;
So now we leave your memory,
In God's all-loving care.

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Ian"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?

Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.

Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.

The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.

No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Friend of yours.

Questions In My Head by Danielle Benyon-Payne

I look at the last picture of you and me,
A picture shows what we cannot always see.
Eyes that no longer shine, a smile that covers tears,
Only you knew your feelings,
Only you knew your fears.

I look back with hindsight,
Was there something I could have done?
I feel such enormous guilt,
And I know I’m not the only one.
Why couldn’t you share with us,
How down you really were?
Did you think we wouldn’t understand?
Think we wouldn’t care?
Did you really think life would be better for us this way?
Would life really have been unbearable for you if you had stayed?
I understand life was hard for you, in a way I’ve never known,
But we would have been there for you, you would never be alone.
When we were out that night, were you aware?
Did you know it was our last night together?
Is that why we were there?
I think back over every detail, what was said? What did we do?
Did I make it clear, in every way, that I loved being there with you?
I meant to tell you that weekend, what a lovely time I had,
But time ran away with me, and now I feel sad,
That I never made it back to yours,
To tell you what I meant to say,
And now my chance has been taken away.
So I’ll tell you now instead, I love you, I miss you.
My world stopped the moment you died.
I run through the motions,
But something has changed inside,
I love you, miss you, always.

Suicide - by Sharon Wheeler

If I could turn back the hands of time,
I would do it just for you.
Even if time stood still,
It’s something I would do.

Just one minute, just one second,
To say our last goodbyes.
I never got that chance at all,
That’s why these sore eyes cry.

Just to give you, one last hug,
And ask you to think again.
A problem shared, is a problem solved,
And can take away your pain.

If I could have helped you,
I would be the first in line,
I could have showed you so much love,
And say, things will turn out fine.

I wonder, would you have taken your life,
Or leaned on my shoulder to cry?
God, I wish, I could turn back the hands of time,
Instead of daily asking “Why?”

I know that you hit rock bottom,
But the way up was always there.
If “only” is a great big word,
Just like you knowing that we cared.

If ever we meet in heaven one day,
I will hold you real close to me,
And tell you that you broke many hearts,
The day that God set you free.

I love you more than ever,
And I just want to hold you tight,
For life was not as bad as it seems,
On that cold and windy night.


God Bless Ian and Gemma

To My Dearest Family,
Some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
Every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you
When my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said, "I welcome you.

It's good to have you back again,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on.

There's so much that we have to do,
To help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list,
Was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
The day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....
In the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
And all those loving years.

Because you are only human,
They are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
It does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers,
Unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
All that God has planned.

If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads
Ahead of you and many hills to climb;

But together we can do it
By taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it for you too;

That as you give unto the world,
The world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
Who's in sorrow and pain;

Then you can say to God at night......
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....
That my life was worthwhile.

Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
Who is sad and feeling low;

Just lend a hand to pick him up,
As on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
And you've got Me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
From that body to be free.

Remember you're not going.....
You're coming here to Me.

Special Angel Ian

When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.

When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.

When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.

Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.

Who's to blame for suicide?
The question often heard.
Someone always points a finger
And they say such hurtful words.

They never do consider that
It's caused from a disease.
Depression and Bipolar
Are just a few of these.

Some die from being murdered.
Some die from accidents.
Some die from pneumonia.
But none of it makes sense.

Sometimes body parts wear out
Way before their time.
Some lose the cancer battle.
But it all seems so unkind.

No matter how they leave us
It never is their choice.
There's something deep within them
That has a bigger voice.

So please refuse to take the blame
For the THING that took your child.
Although others point their fingers.
They haven't walked your mile.
