The Ability
Everybody has the ability
To learn more throughout their life
Even if they are single, have children,
A husband or a wife

Your mind is there for filling
A centre of lifelong learning
No matter if you're unemployed
Or if you have started earning

Everybody has the ability
Planted deep within
But it sometimes takes a tragedy
For your mind to start to kick in

Everybody can learn more
Sometimes you need to look
When you feel you're ready
Take that learning hook

The chance is there for everyone
To search for your inner soul
You will only get out what you put in
To get to your personal goal

This week the Lord has dealt his cards
And done something we can't believe
He's needed some great helpers now
So he's decided to take Steve.

To others Steve could look intimidating
Because he was such a big bloke
But he liked to mickey take
And have a laugh and joke.

As kids we would play many games
Cricket, Football , Fox and Hounds
We'd play for many hours outside
Hiding up trees and on the ground.

In Tynte we were a close community
So his loss is really bad
Because Steve was a family man
And also a loving dad.

Throughout our life, we'll meet thousands
Some you'll like and Some you'll hate
But I am glad to have known Steve well
And to have called him a Mate.

So today we'll come together now
To pay respects beside family and friends
Because Steve is a person in our hearts
Which is with us ‘til our life ends.

In loving memory of Steve James
RIP Jamesy

When a loved one's life is over,
And by whatever means they passed,
The void that has been left in life,
To you is very vast.

To enable us to deal with this,
Family and friends will join in hands,
To imprint that love which is now lost,
Like footprints in the sand.

Although this is a sad time now,
Some smile with joy and don't look sad,
As they reach into their memories,
To recall the good times had.

So with the help of those around you,
In this time, you need to grieve,
You will hear some wonderful stories and tales,
Of the loved one who had to leave.

A glancing smile,
But full of sorrow,
There's hurt today,
Which will be there tomorrow.

The loss of one,
Who has been so close,
The sudden shock,
Which will break most!

As tears break,
The swelling eye,
One question asked,
Why did they die?

The bitter hurt,
Will never go,
And the feeling of loss,
Will forever grow !

I live in a lovely place
It is called as South Wales
The valleys full of green mountains
With rivers down through the vales

The mountains are very steep
With houses up on the hills
Some of them have front gardens
Full of plants and daffodils

The welsh are known for choirs
Many times, they used to sing
But there isn't anything better now
As the flowers blossom in the spring

In march the weather changes
When the days start to become sunny
You start to see newborn animals
Like lambs and little bunnies

But due to all the high mountains
And some of the wild terrains
Wales has lots of bad weather
Especially when it rains

As I look down the valley
I see the snow capped valley
Residue of yesterday
But now the weathers' still

Clouds over the blue sky
Could it be snow or rain?
If they break, we will soon know
When the ground becomes white again

The sun is shining brightly
Although today, it is very low
The heat just warms the chill away
And gives that yellow glow

The mountain looks so barren
Trees and ferns in autumn brown
But it's nice to look down the valley
And see the snow upon the ground

Like a river
Your tears will flow
at Special times
And on an Anniversary.

It starts light
just like a river
And ends up
like a deep sea.

Your head is full
of so many memories
which are fighting
To come back out.

And at these sad times
Each and Every year
they will help you through
Without a doubt.

Your tears
Are like a river
And it is hard
To hold them back.

So let them flow
And release your tears
For loved ones passed
Who are always near.

Enhance your mind into believing
What you cannot physically see
Then your spiritual side will start working
To prove we live into eternity

You will know about conditions
And circumstances how someone passed
But you need to concentrate fully
Because the connection does not last

The mind is very complex
And you will disregard a lot
But until you get confirmation
You may not understand what you got

It takes a bit of time learning
You cannot know everything overnight
Be patient and keep in control
Whilst you use this extra sight

When things are nice and quiet
I hear people in my head
They want to pass on messages
From loved ones, who are now dead

They may not say what we want
But give a message just to show
That they will be waiting for you
When it is your time to go

Sometimes they will show us pictures
Or a clip like a video scene
To emphasise a fact of life
Where you going or where you've been

They will give us information
Like a date, a month or name
And we will need to ask them questions
In our mind, just like a game

Sometimes we will misinterpret
And others will be precise
But whatever the message
For the sitter, it is nice

It is up to an individual
If they want to believe or not
But be respectful to the mediums
For sharing the gifts they have got

In my dreams, I think I am crazy
Because I look as though I am sad
But inside, I am really happy
In the dream, I am with my dad

When i look ahead and see nothing
Except the brightest light
I know why i am happy now
Because I am using my extra sight

The spirit world works wonders
They will often send a sign
You feel someone is watching you
But nobody is in front or behind

On times, you will have a vivid dream
And it is intended just for you
You may not understand it now
But it doesn't mean it's not true
