Million White Horses
Don't cry for the horses that life has set free,
a million white horses forever to be.
Don't cry for the horses now in God's hand,
as they dance and they prance in a heavenly band.
They were ours as a gift, but never to keep.
As they close their eyes forever to sleep,
their spirits unbound, on a silver wings they fly,
a million white horses against the blue sky.
Look up into heaven, you'll see them above,
the horses we lost, the horses we loved.
Manes and tails flowing, they gallop through time.
They were never yours - they were never mine.
Don't cry for the horses, they'll be back someday.
When our time is gone, they'll show us the way.
Do you hear that soft nicker? Close to your ear?
Don't cry for the horses, love the ones that are here.

I'll Miss You
With the loss of a loved one, it is hard to deal,
It seems like a dream -- this can't be...
One moment they're here; the next, they're gone.
They now live in our hearts and hearts do go on...
Keep alive the good times shared,
For no others shall ever be compared...
To those we miss so much,
And by whom we've all been touched...
They made us laugh; they made us cry;
Within our hearts, they shall never die...
They keep us going; they keep a smile on our face,
Because they've gone on, gone on to a better place,
A place in which they'll feel no pain.
No one's at fault; no one's to blame...
Everything has a purpose; there is reason for it all.
Sometimes at night, I can still hear them call...
They say they are fine, and, "don't be blue,
Cause someday soon we'll be with you...
Together again, like the times before,
When you get here we'll be smiling, standing at Heaven's Door..."
In loving memory of my Nan and Grandad...
