He will be forever missed by Mummy, Daddy, little sister Olivia, Matt and Karen and everyone that knew him.
Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day
Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away
A Mothers Grief
You ask me how I'm feeling,
But do you really want to know?
The moment that I try to tell you,
You say you have to go.
How can I tell you,
What its like for me,
I'm haunted, I am broken,
You start squirming in your chair.
Because I am lonely,
You see no one comes round,
I'll take the words I want to say,
And quietly choke them down.
Everyone avoids me now,
Because they dont know what to say,
They tell me "I'll be there for you"
Then turn and walk away.
Call me if you need me now,
Thats what everyone said,
But how can I call you and
scream into the phone,
"My god my child is dead".
No one will let me,
Say the words I need to say,
Why does a Mothers grief,
Scare everyone away?
I'm tired of pretending,
As my heart pounds in my chest,
I say things to make you comfortable,
But my soul it finds no rest.
How can I tell you things,
That are to sad to be told,
Of the helplessness of holding a child,
Who in your arms grows cold.
Maybe you could tell me,
How one should behave,
Whos had to follow their childs casket,
Watched it purched above a grave.
You can not imagine,
What it was like for me that day,
To place a final kiss upon that box,
And have to walk away.
If you really love me,
And I believe you do,
If you really want to help me,
Then heres what I need from you.
Sit down beside me,
Reach out and take my hand,
Say "My friend I've come to listen,
"I want to understand".
Just hold my hand and listen,
Thats all you need to do,
And if by chance I shed a tear,
Its alright if you do too.
Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Bradley"
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 Son of yours.

I stood beside your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.
I touched you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much you
love and long to hold me.
I was with you at the store today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.
I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then
smiled, I think you knew,
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over, I smile and watch
you yawning and say
"goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and
we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to
show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me
♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥
♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥
All My Love Anne xx
♥ღ♥ GOD ONLY TAKES THE BEST ♥ღ♥
Gods loving arms enfolded you
with tender loving care,
He saw that you were suffering
as you laid in silence there,
He said the time has come
for you to take a rest,
He held you in his arms and said,
I ONLY TAKE THE BEST ♥ღ♥ GOD BLESS YOU LOVE ANNE xx

Of A Dear Son
Something will remind me
I never know just when,
It might be something someone says
And it all comes back again.
The times we spent together
The happiness, the fun,
Once again I feel the pain
Of life without my son.
Its said that times a healer
Im not sure this is true,
Theres not a day goes by son
That I dont cry for you.
Miss you always but will never forget you Bradley.
Mummy xxxxxxx
