You have been gone too long Dad over 22 years now. I have just put mum on Gone Too Soon,(such a lovely site to remember our loved ones) so felt I couldn't leave you off even though it has been a long time since you passed away.It has given me the chance to tell you how much you were loved and how precious dads' are. Mum lived on another 15 years after you. You always liked a bet and a pint of beer.We went to Epsom racing and the "Dogs",you taught me how to play Rummy, always more like mates than father and daughter.You always helped me when I couldn't do the crossword. You were very artistic and imaginative. I do wonder what you would have achieved had you been born in this age.Still you were a very good swimmer and won prizes at school.Worked at the Gainsborough Studios and met many stars.You was in the Navy in the second world war.You and mum, Charlie and I had some wonderful holidays together,I have so many photos to remind me of you.You should have given up smoking but wouldn't be told, this contributed to your death.I miss you very much.
Love you always and think about you often

being to timelessness as it's to time ღ♥ღ

being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end:
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land

love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear:
the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:
the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

All finite things reveal infinitude:
The mountain with its singular bright shade
Like the blue shine on freshly frozen snow,
The after-light upon ice-burdened pines;
Odor of basswood upon a mountain slope,
A scene beloved of bees;
Silence of water above a sunken tree:
The pure serene of memory of one man,--
A ripple widening from a single stone
Winding around the waters of the world…ღ♥ღ

*✫* Christmas Secrets *✫*

Underneath a winter sky
a distant train sings out the miles.
So I imagine, it may be,
that every mile brings you to me.
A promise made may still come true,
so I am waiting here for you,
if you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
*☾*
Christmas bells ring out their chimes,
I hear them echo through the miles,
and moonlight shines upon the road
and trembles on the fallen snow
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew.
If you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
*☾*
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew.
If you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?

And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky. ♥ڿڰۣಌ

Love is not something that comes from another.
It is a state of being that comes from within.
The Love that is inside of you is without conditions or expectations.
It is not limited or restricted by time and space in any way.
Unlike physical Love this Love will never diminish or fade with time.
It is eternal and will not ever let you down.
I promise you that it will always be there to let the Light in
and guide you safely Home.
Love connects each of us to one another
and is the underlying energy behind all things.
Love literally is everything. ♥ڿڰۣಌ

~ Paul Adkins

~ Winter Snow ~

This is the time of wonder,
The season of the star...
Enraptured by its splendor,
Our thoughts go winging afar
Across the memories and miles,
Like angel melody,
Till every face is wreathed in smiles...
Hearts hold tranquillity.
•*• •*• •*•
And as the snow falls, pure and white
On roof and street and hill,
Joy settles in our hearts tonight,
Glad tidings of goodwill,
On homes and hearth fires, peace descends,
And as the candles glow,
Flames of faith are kindled...
Love shines across the snow.

დ In Salutation to the Eternal Peace დ

Men say the world is full of fear and hate,
And all life's ripening harvest-fields await
The restless sickle of relentless fate.

♥†♥

But I, sweet Soul, rejoice that I was born,
When from the climbing terraces of corn
I watch the golden orioles of Thy morn.

♥†♥

What care I for the world's desire and pride,
Who know the silver wings that gleam and glide,
The homing pigeons of Thine eventide?

♥†♥

What care I for the world's loud weariness,
Who dream in twilight granaries Thou dost bless
With delicate sheaves of mellow silences?

♥†♥

Say, shall I heed dull presages of doom,
Or dread the rumoured loneliness and gloom,
The mute and mythic terror of the tomb?

♥†♥

For my glad heart is drunk and drenched with Thee,
O inmost wind of living ecstasy!
O intimate essence of eternity!

~ Sarojini Naidu

♥ I Miss You ♥

Another year without you
Tears flow – within this broken heart of mine
I am never complete
A shadow of my former self
You went to the Garden of Paradise this day, that year
I should be happy for you, but I wish you were here so much
And all I can do is cry.

ღ LIFE is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.
…~ Charles Feidelson, Jr.

ღ LOVE is the vital core of the soul, and of all you see, only love is infinite.
…~ Rumi

♥ ═ೋღ♥ ═ೋღ♥

ღ A Farewell ღ

FAREWELL, oh dream of mine!
I dare not stay;
The hour is come, and time
Will not delay:
Pleasant and dear to me
Wilt thou remain;
No future hour
Brings thee again.

She stands, the Future dim,
And draws me on,
And shows me dearer joys—
But thou art gone!
Treasures and Hopes more fair,
Bears she for me,
And yet I linger,
Oh dream, with thee!

Other and brighter days,
Perhaps she brings;
Deeper and holier songs,
Perchance she sings;
But thou and I, fair time,
We too must sever—
Oh dream of mine,
Farewell for ever!

~ Adelaide Anne Procter
