Patrick William Ayers Tribute

Forgotten dreams again
Dredging up the years
Through night and day they lend
The living borrowed tears An excerpt from my latest poem

Always My Brother

Our childhood was full of pain

We offen bickered through the night

Our moms attention you did gain

And losing  often was my plight

An outstanding athlete you once were

Football and running were your strengths

In mothers’eyes you were the sun

While for approval,I traveled lengths

You became a father I admired most

Your children were your night and day

I grew to love you and would boast

How far you’d come in many ways

Through my trials you were there

And often went out of your way

Offering advice that you would share

You helped me see the light of day

You lost a child,I wept with you

I watched you suffer through the years

There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do

If it helped to wipe away your tears

Though your no longer on this earth

My memories have remained with me

Your life has inspired a new rebirth

Your love you left as your legacy

No More Tears Have Fallen From My Eyes

No more tears have fallen from my eyes
I look to Heaven and The Starry skies
To comfort and guide a spirit broken
Destiny takes charge:God has spoken
Bewildered and blessed,now I am free
Sadness fades as spirit lives in me.

Giving our all,expecting the best
of all lifes pleasures,not excepting less
Trusting life's tides will carry us along
To a better place and uplifting song
Reaping the benefits of a life well done
Enjoying the fruits of victories won.

September 15th will always live in our heart,as the day we lost our very special,brother,husband,father,and grandfather.We will always love and miss you.May God Bless you always!

Going On-By Frances Ayers

After years of mourning,
I’ve put aside my fears.
A new day is dawning,
I’ve wiped away my tears.

There is no time for sorrow,
For now I’ll find a way.
I look forward to tomorrow,
And each and every day.

With love,I’ll build a life,
Remembering you all the while,
Putting away all strife,
I’ll walk the extra mile.

As years go by,I’ll think of you,
And all the time I’ll smile.
Remembering funny things you’d do,
Laughing all the while.
