J T Cottrell Sr

As you hold me close in memory,
even though we are apart,
my spirit will live on,
there within your heart .
I am with you always.

When you lean on trusted friends
and their caring hugs enfold you,
within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.

And beyond the far horizon
when we'll finally be together,
where love will be eternal
and life will last forever.
I am with you always.
SLEEP TIGHT MY SWEET ANGEL

~daddy~ happy fathers day

Dad, our sadness knows no end;
We can’t believe you’re gone;
We’re grieving for you every day;
It’s hard to carry on.


You were always there to support and care,
When we needed a true friend,
How we’ll ever do without our dad,
We cannot comprehend.


You were our teacher and our guide,
Our dad, so good and strong;
Your example will sustain us now,
And last our whole lives long.


We’re trying to communicate;
We hope that you can hear;
Expressing what we feel for you,
Helps us feel you’re near.


Our memories of the times we had
Help the pain to go away.
But Dad, our lives won’t be the same;
We’ll miss you every day.


A part of us went with you;
You left a gap too big to fill;
You’re our father and our hero;
We love you and we always will.


~ This poem is dedicated to my father J.T. Cottrell Sr., this is our first Father's Day without you and its hard not to think about you each and every day. We love you and want you know that not having you here is sooo hard but we are happy to know that you are with mom looking down at us. To all those who still have their dad let them know how much you care its not easy when you don't have them. Happy Father's Day we LOVE YOU! ~

To the Cottrell family

God bless you all. Your father looked like a fine man. It seems like god always takes the best even when it doesn't seem their time to leave.I can share what you all feel. Our hearts have an empty space. God Bless.

My wings are spread, my pain is gone-Do grieve for me-but not for long.
For wondrous peace surrounds my flight-I’m gliding towards that ray of light.
So grieve for me but not for long-Remember blessings not the wrong.
My life was full and so complete-Although the end was bittersweet.
You brightened up my everyday…By things you’d do, by things you’d say.
I’ll miss my life with you on Earth, but know you gave my life it’s worth.
I’m gliding towards a perfect place-No pain or sorrow, only grace.
My wings are spread, I’m soaring strong…Do grieve for me, but not for long.
miss you xxxxxxxxxxxx

SOMEONE WHO CARES

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know

I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed

I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below

So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.xxxxxx from christine xxxxx

The Angels Sang Amazing Grace.

The Angels sang Amazing Grace,
the LORD came down and touched your face,
He held your hand and whispered low,
come with ME it's time to go

The Gates of Heaven opened wide,
the Angels lined up side by side,
a special guest was on his way,
the day they came and took you away.
