In Memoriam for Iris PUGH (Smith)

As day turns to dusk,
And dusk turns to night,
We search for a pair of stars,
Twinkling together, bright.

We remember what was taken,
We mourn what was lost,
We replay each minute over and over,
Those moments that others forgot.

Something changed for us all,
We saw life in a different way,
It changed how we see the world,
And how we approach every day.

But let us remember the happy times,
Let us not look back in sorrow,
May good health find us all,
As we hold on to tomorrow.

Let us hold the memories tightly,
Just like I believe we should,
But lets live the lives we've been given,
And embrace all of the good.

A flower wilts its petals away,
Then the seeds fall without a sound,
But as we say goodbye to one,
A new root grows underground.

A sadness will always surround us,
But the spirits are constantly glowing,
Life continues to flourish,
And our family is ever growing. X

Remembering my beautiful Auntie Iris. One year since you left us. Wonderful memories I will always treasure. Reunited with her best friend my lovely Uncle Bob. Love & miss you always . Cheryl ❤️Xxxx

Yellow Ashes


One year on, we remember,
Join me in a little prayer,
Look up to the sky and pray,
To whatever you believe is there...


We join together in hand and heart,
To say a prayer for you,
May your soul have found peace,
And your spirit be true.

Let us celebrate the life you led,
And the gift you left us all.
Now three generations live,
Within four very special walls.

Let us be grateful the pain ended for you,
Instead of pining over our own.
Let us be thankful and find comfort,
In knowing you weren't alone.

Let us look into the garden,
Where so many memories were made,
Let it bloom with flowers and life,
So the memories never fade.

Let it be a sanctuary,
With the past and future blended,
A safe haven for us all,
As you both always intended.

Let us feel a warmth within us,
Knowing you're reunited,
And the feeling of holding hands again,
You must have been delighted.

Let us not dwell on loss itself,
Let us not focus on the sad,
Let us remember the happy moments,
And be grateful for the time we had.

We pray for those we've lost,
For their souls to be blessed.
We pray for the family's grief,
To become a little less.

A year ago, sadness overwhelmed the heart,
The night changed us forever,
But out of the ashes, roses can grow,
And it brought us closer together.
