A star
We’ll look up at the sky each night,
And see your star shining so bright,
We’ll hold you in our hearts forever,
And forget you dad, no chance, not ever.
Goodbye dad, long may you rest
A true hero, top man, and the best.
My Dad, Gone but not forgotten
Gone but not forgotten,
Live’s cruel and sometimes rotten,
But then we will remind,
Of a man who’s love was kind.
A man both gentle and strong hearted,
Though sadly now has departed,
You meant the world and more,
And forever we’ll adore.
It’s hard to find the words to say,
But dad, we’ll miss you every day.
short dad poem
It’s not fair you had to go,
Quite where to, we’ll never know,
But in our hearts we’ll hold you dear,
As if you were still with us here.
So many
So many years you lived the life,
So many things you’ve seen,
So many smiles that you created,
No you’re gone, so very mean.
So many friends that loved you,
So many to recall,
So many who will honour you,
Thought so special, by us all.
So now your time is over,
So does that mean that all is done,
No, as now we’ll honour you,
Our Nan, Our number one.
Thank you Nan
Gone but not forgotten,
One day here, now sadly passed.
Dear Nan you really lived a life,
Right to the very last.
Sadly no more hugging,
No more chats and no more tea,
But you gave me such a wondrous gift,
Encouraged me to just to be me.
For that I’m ever grateful,
Always your biggest fan,
To the woman who just made me smile,
I say thank you dearest Nan.
Here is to you, Nan
Here’s to love and happiness,
Here’s to being kind,
Here’s to hope and all nice things,
Here’s to life as we may find.
Here’s to thoughts and memories,
Here’s to plans of what we’ll do,
Here’s to the best of all of us
oh Nan dear Here’s to you.
Even Angel Need Their Sleep
To the best Nan in the universe,
The kindest there’s ever been,
All the love and all the joy you gave,
At levels never seen.
Even angels need their sleep,
And now’s the time to rest,
We hope your dreams are happy Nan,
Our number one, simply the best.
Goodnight Nan, sleep tight and hold your smile,
You’re one of God’s true angels, but we’ve known that all the while.
Time has passed by
Times has passed by,
We’re missing you so,
Each tear that we cry,
Why did you go?
Our favourite, a true friend,
A hero so kind,
Our Nan ‘til the end,
Always on our mind.
A Short Poem for My Nan
When I was young and little,
You were always there,
To hold my hand and make me smile,
To let me know you care.
But now as I’ve grown older,
You of course grew older too,
And sadly now you’ve past away,
I don’t know just what we’ll do.
To my Best Friend
To my best friend,
A soul mate, brother,
One tI vouched for,
Like no other,
One I’d fight for,
Right to the end,
That’s why I guess,
You’re my best friend.
To my best friend,
I know you’re gone,
But I’m sure our friendship,
Can live on,
