WAYNE HUNT (1952

Although a light has

gone out from our lives,

it will never go out in my

heart...

Back when my loving father and mother
Made their cozy little home,
I came along pretty soon
To end the peaceful days they owned.

I guess they didn't have to choose
For me to fill their empty hearts,
But, I am sure so thankful
Their lives were sabotaged.

By night my Dad would walk the floor
Then still work hard by day,
And when he came back home again
I'd entice him out to play.

I didn't hear him grumble very much
He'd merely grin at me and say,
Ah, you make putty of a man
But that's just a womans way.

I never then did figure out
Why he thought little me so grown up,
How could I know I was a mini version
Of my sweet mothers heart.

As with a twinkle in his merry eye
At anything I asked,
Whatever problem I might bring
He'd always fix on my behalf.

Ah, my Father has been good to me
All the years we've been together,
But, you know what is the best..
He'll be my Dad No#1 forever.

places way up high atop
in a glass case on a
marbled shelf where
his loved ones are not
able to leave private
momentos or their
personal messages.
"What we cannot leave
with you there,
we will always have
within our hearts".
I still visit you
buddy even though
your not there <3
Best friends,together,4ever!!

With your hand in mine; together we can walk through this

In Our Hearts

We miss you so much Daddy.
The faith that you instilled in us
is where our faith helps to keep us going.
You will never be forgotten. We love you!

This sweet angel hug
is for you, Laura-Lynn & Julie-Ann
from your Mumma

And God Said

I said, "God, I hurt,"
And God said, " I know,"

I said, God, I cry alot,"
And God Said, "That is why I gave you tears,"

I said, "God, I am so depressed,"
And God said, "That is why I gave you sunshine,"

I said, "God, life is so hard,"
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones,"

I said, "God, my loved one died,"
And God said, "so did mine,"

I said, "God it is such a big loss,"
And God Said, "I saw mine nailed to the cross,"

I said, "God, but your loved one lives on,"
And God said, "So does yours,"

I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "mine is on my right and
Yours is in the light,"

I said, "God, it hurts,"
And God said, "I know,"

My dearest Laura and Julie

Some thing I'd like to say but first of all
to let you both know, I arrived ok.

I'm writing this from heaven,
Here I dwell with God above.

Here there's no more tears of saddness;
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
just because I am out of sight,
Remember I am with you both
Every morning, noon and night.

The day I had to leave you when
my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and he said, "I welcome you".

It's good to have you back again Wayne,
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your 2 sweet daughters,
They'll be here later on.

I needed you here badly,
You're part of my plan,
There's so much we have to do,
To help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things,
That he wished for me to do,
and foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.

I will be beside you everyday, and week
and year.
And when you're sad I'm there
To wipe away your tears.

When you lie awake in bed at night,
the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry;
it does relieve the pain,
Remember there would be no flowers,
without the down pouring rain.

I wish I could tell you
All that God has planned
If I were to tell you,
You wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain
though my life on earth is over,
I'm closest to you now
then I ever was before.

And to my many friends,
trust God knows what is best.
I'm still not far from you,
I'm just beyond the crest.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it girls
by taking one day at a time.

It was my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
it will give to you.

If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and in pain,
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain".

And now I am contented....
that my life was worth while
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made someone smile.

So if you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind.

And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face;
That's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace.

When its time for you to go...
from that body to be free,
Remember you aren't going....
your coming here with me.

Will be in touch again soon Laura and Julie
I love and miss you both very much too,
With all my heart,
Your Daddy

Here's to you Wayne.
Lord knows you deserve as
many of these as your heart desires.
From all of us down here,
we salute you,
Cheers buddy!!!

Was it only yesterday, I kissed you goodnight
But those days are now long gone,
For you have grown into adulthood
The result of being born..

I am grateful for your tender years
As I thank God for your love,
I had no idea on your birthday
How precious you'd become.

All the special memories I recall
Of your head upon my arm,
With lots of fun and adventures
As I protected you from harm.

Now, I must let go those yesterdays
The nights I paced the floor,
For you have another path to walk
To find your open door.

As you grow into the joy
Of finding life can hold much more,
My encouragement I give
As you follow your own call.

For a Daddys love is not enough
There's courage needed on your way,
As you put your hand into the hand of God
My part will be to pray.

But the treasure I can keep forever
Is my delight in who you are,
And as I will always be your father
You will be my shining star.

HOPE

I know,
as surely as I know how to breathe,
that you are with me always.
You are closer to me now
than ever before
and the only difference
is that instead of opening my eyes to see you,
now I must open my heart.

Last night I was trying to sleep,
My Daddy's voice I did hear,
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.

He said "Laura, Julie you've got to listen
You've got to understand.
God didn't take me from you girls,
he only took my hand.

When I called out in pain that night
the instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand
and pulled me to his side.

He pulled me up and saved me
from the misery and pain,
My body was hurt badly,
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my dreams
and all that might have been.

I love you so and miss more
and I'll always be near by,
my bodys gone forever,
but my spirit will never die.

And so you must go on now
live one day at a time,
Just understand that God did not take
me from you, he only took my hand.

When God decided to make a Father
He needed someone very special
Strong and sturdy too,
To protect all of the family
With great fortitude.

He pondered the majesty of mountains
But, they were of such height,
Then seeing the rough bark of a tree
Thought of softness needed in a guy.

The sun so bright, the moon too dim
He'll need to carefully plan and scheme,
To build and understand
And carry lots of love within.

A gentle heart, a strength to work
Grit to endure, a humorous quirk,
A spring in his step and twinkle in his eye
Muscle to lift and spirit to fly.

So, of His own image, He molded man
And made Himself an eternal friend,
To share His fatherly ways
He put His heart within.

For when a man walks upright with God
He will display His glory too,
And as a masterpiece of faith to live
He is a Father of true attribute.

Thankyou Dad, I love you always
For every treasured moment you have been,
It is hard to put into words
All that is in the heart of me.

The day will come when I am gone
But do not despair,
For I will be alive
Death has no power to keep me down,
My soul is unbound, without any care
I am not held by time or space,
Soon you will be filled with delight
And look with joy upon my face.

You may think I have gone afar
Departed forever from your broken heart,
But, I am but a step beyond
Just one breath apart
Awake for all time in a wonderful place,
Soon you will come to me
And together we will dance and twirl
In the miracle of amazing grace.

For shattered are the chains of earth
Jesus broke the power of death's gloom
Don't search around for me there
I cannot stay in a cold dark tomb,
Lift your eyes to the sky
For there, on high, I am flying free
Soaring in a beautiful new day
Look beyond... for then you will see.

Praise the Lord, we will rise again
Nothing here will hold us back,
All God has promised will be ours to keep
We will live forever
Where there is nothing to lack.

Today... is a day of joy
Though for a time of grief you may weep,
Do not fear, I am not asleep, do not cry
BUT overflow with hope..
For we will meet again, dearest one
In the twinkling of an eye.

The new day is near.

Those we love must someday pass
beyond our present sight...
must leave us and the world we know
without their radiant light.

But we know that like a candle,
their lovely light will shine
to brighten up another place more
perfect more divine.

And in the realm of Heaven,
where they shine
so warm and bright.
Our loved ones live forevermore,
in God's eternal light.

DADDY, LAURA AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH

The Masterpiece

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need.

Then God combined these qualities.
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... "DAD!"

I'M THERE INSIDE YOUR HEART

Right now I'm in a different place,
And though we seem apart,
I'm closer than I ever was ...
I'm there inside your heart.
I'm with you when you greet each
day And while the sun shines
bright, I'm there to share the sunsets, too ...
I'm with you every night.
I'm with you when the times are good,
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall ...
I'll still be there for you.
And when that day arrives that
we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me ...
Forever in my heart.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heart ache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
