Happy Wedding Anniversary

To My Wife

I have made many bad decisions throughout my life

The best decision I ever made was asking you to be my wife

You have been the strength I've needed to pull me through

Through all of the years, throughout my life, there would be no me without you

We created lives from our love and now we continue to watch our love grow

Through our children and grandchildren, where it will stop, who knows?

I've loved you since the first time I saw you, I knew you were the one

The one I would spend the rest of my life with and I wasn't wrong 

Your smile, your beauty, your eyes captured my heart and soul

Only a fool would be a bigger fool if they were to ever let you go

You've given me everything I could wish for, could want and need

You are my wife, my lover, my life, my strength, my best friend and my weakness

We've been through so much but nothing or nobody could ever come between us

If I could give you the stars and moon this universe would be yours to keep

I don't need a special occasion to let you know how much you mean to me

Our souls are forever entwined and our hearts will always beat as one

In this lifetime through to the next we'll share a forever lasting, undying love

Love now and always, your Husband. Mr. W. G. B. xxx

Auntie Mary

A Beautiful Soul

A welcoming smile, a meaningful hug, a revolving door

At one point or another a mother to us all

A listening ear, wise advice, a warm bed or a cuppa

If auntie Mary had it to give - it was always on offer

A genuine lady without a bad bone and a heart full of gold

I’m sure all agree when I say they truly broke the mould

A wonderful, devoted mother to her two precious girls

A sister, an Auntie, a grandma & great grandma, to all she meant the world

My godmother was a special lady and her aura was divine

I only wish as so many do that I’d only made more time

We tend to think that people will always be there

Maybe because any other thought is too much to bear

We never considered that you wouldn’t be on the other end of the phone

Not thinking for a moment that you would be anywhere but home

Now here we are today

And things are not the same

The birds don’t sing or sound nearly as sweet as they could

The sun is duller and no longer shines like it should

The world continues but never again will it be the same

The loss of such a beautiful soul could never be explained

Every thought, every whisper, every scream and every tear

Is our hearts calling out, wishing that you were still here

But knowing that you finally get to rest is a small relief

We love you and you will be forever missed, our sweet angel;

Auntie Mary may you rest in peace xxx
