always is our heart

I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make

You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look

Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever

Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love

Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone

Early memories

Hey Raymond,

One of my earlyest memories is of coming into your office, sitting on your knee. You went to your old wooden desk and took out a toothbrush, the only colour left was pink....Will never forget those days.

Much love to you and Anita, see you again one day xx

THE FINAL INSPECTION

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

'Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?'

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear..
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.

'Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'

Never forgotton

Hi Raymond,
I can't express how much of a miss you are going to be, We had some good times and laugh's when you were at Berwick. You were so funny and cheeky, you always spoke your mind and were never bothered what people thought of you and I loved you for that. From first meeting you we got along like a house on fire. When I came to say goodbye in Germany you looked so smart in your uniform, I am so proud to have been your friend. I looked on you as family and always will. Give penny a hug from me. Love and Miss you always
Lynn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
