My Donor And Friend

                 Tribute.....

I'm Everyplace !!

Don't mourn for me;
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight,
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach,
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colourful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond. 
The clear cool water in a quiet pond. 

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm everyplace

Words For Samantha…

Words really can’t describe how I personally feel for Samantha; I guess I’d call it an eternal Love… Looking back Samantha was indeed a warm and caring young lady who at the time always looked out for the nine-year-old lad with glasses with such love and compassion and was a true friend…

She infact said she always wanted to help some one else to live before her transplant, and luckily for me my life was saved, she once told me that she didn’t really think her heart was hers and she was saving it for me. This was the kind gesture of a young lady who always put others well being before her own.

Samantha was one of those special people who one meets in ones life and was and is still today a continuing inspiration and guide for me…

 We were renowned for having a special bond, which for me is still here today, In one valentines card Samantha gave me it clearly said “My Heart Is Yours” and I am eternally grateful to Samantha and her family for giving me that second chance.

As I look back I believe when one passes, the love we feel, the memories we have grow forever stronger and no one really dies, death is another state where loved ones live again in the memory of others, and as I wake each morning I know Samantha is still with me…

               With All My Heart

                                Love You Always and Forever

                                                 Andrew.

A MILLION TIMES

A million times I've needed you,
A million times I've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still,
For in my heart you hold a place,
This world can never fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Touched By An Angel

I guess there's something I can't explain

These thoughts play over, and over again

Was this an illusion or just my dying dream?

But I've always believed things aren't always what they seem.

I was touched by an angel

She reached out her hands to me,

I was touched by an angel and I swear

She healed me!

 

And now everything I see,

Feels so different, so different to me.

 

I was touched by an angel.

In my moment of despair,

I was touched by an angel,

And she whispered,

Said she'd always be there.

 

I was touched by an angel,

She reached out her arms to me,

I was touched by an angel,

And she whispered,

She loved me...
