Fly by Ian Hannington
Most are unable to touch the flame
For fear of being burnt
We all have wings but some can't fly
A lesson to be learnt
The cage is open, the free will fly
In any type of weather
Those that remain will stay the same
For now and maybe forever
Touch the flame
You will feel the pain
But where there's pain there's love
Got to fly before we die
To fly the sky's of love
To my childrens father and my friend.
When I think of you I see that huge smile, the one that goes right across your face - I think of all the walks and family times - your nose bleeds each time both of our kids where born - the love and support we had for each other both while together and towards each others new lives.
You had turned your life around and gave so much of yourself to help others, you had become a friend to so many.
You was and remain a hero to your kids, an inspiration to those struggling with addictions; and my best and longest friend... fly free and know that I will always carry you in my heart.
Joy.
Memorial
As my dad was involved in so many groups and had such a wide array of friends I would appreciate all comments and idea's of what to do in the way of a memorial. Dad really didn't like the thought of people crying over him once he was gone, so I don't really want to do the standard grave stone thing, but I feel that something needs to be done to remember his awesome spirit and the son, brother, father, friend, and person that he was :)
Please feel free to leave your ideas :)
From the Funeral of Martyn and Kaye
We Are Free
Don't grieve for us, for now we're set free,
We are following the path God Laid for us, you see.
We took His hand, when we heard him call,
We turned our backs and left it all.
We could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
We found that place at the close of day.
If our parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things we too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
We wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
Our life's been full, we've savoured much;
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps our time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with us, you see,
God wants us now. He set us free
