You are only a thought away........... / Carol Only A Thought Away
As a little bird sings in a tree And night follows day I will always be Only a thought away. As you gradually let go of your grief And your skies become less grey I will always be Only a thought away. Heartache will ease And the melancholy fade away I will always be Only a thought away. You will always be In my Heart And I will always be Only a thought away. All you have to believe is Love never dies So you and I will always be Only a thought away one from the other.
Dolly Little
A poem about Death / Carol Death is a Horizon
Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
Author: Rossiter Worthington Raymond 1840-1918
A poem.............alt-hough.. OUR love will go on forever...... / Carol (Wife) One of my favorite poems:
Funeral blues by W. H. Auden
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead. Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West. My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.
THE DAY I FOUND MY BEST LIFE (This poem I wrote when life was healthy and happy for David and I. I need to put it in here to show how special he was - and still is to me)
I grew up thinking that I was safe and life was pure People I thought, were honest , stable for sure I was happy enough, but it was just life..............
I was taught to be true to others and myself The days were good. Sun, sand and surf My future up there on the shelf But it was just life................................
Friends were good and family was fun Nothing was not to like in the wonderful Aussie sun To me though, it was just life.............................
As a girl I thought not much of boy/girl love though I was shy, timid and didn't want to play in that show. My life moved on.......................
As a young woman I studied, travelled and a relationship I found I thought it was love but I watched it begin only to fade It was a harder life, a far-a-way from here life, But it still was just life.......................
My beautiful girls and work took up a lot of time but I discovered who I was and I needed to shine So I bravely strode forward leaving the pain with heartache, scars and love not to blame Life changed but it was just life...........................
Then out of the blue, a day I will never forget brought forth a light of love trying to surface A man spoke to me from behind my computer Gentle, strong, wise but nervous My life was beginning to be important
My best friend he then became in essence Speaking to me consistently, I had his presence. He understood me and we knew each other so well I trusted him, he trusted me....a wonderful loving spell I liked my life now.........He was my life now
I felt I knew him already somehow, he was sweet and honest with an elusive power Every day at the same time, we would embrace We talked about each other and he always put a smile back onto my face. This was now a good life.
I helped him through his struggles and pain He guided me to trust and love again Miracles began to happen to the two of us so far apart One day I reached out and he was there, He moved for us to be a pair What a glorious life...............................
This life is now a wonderful life Each day filled with happiness and no strife We love so strongly and he sleeps next to me Pure unmoveable love, always nuturing and free........... This is the best life.
I often wonder how he came to me ............with so many forces against it happening. But it did happen and so easily once the painful decision for him had been made. He was already ill though but we didn't know it. I believe firmly now, knowing the facts that David would have only had a short time left it he had not given himself a new lease and goal to strive towards. To get his dignity and self-respect back so that he could be the man he always wanted to be and the father he always dreamt of being.
Miracles happened for us to be together To give him happiness and hope so that he could leave this life of emotions, struggles and lonliness To give him honour. To give me love like no other so that I could go on now and do what I know I have to do - holding his love with me always.
We lived in the present uncondionally loving The purenss paid off tenfold and still evolving He gave me two roses from our garden of joy "Red for our love, White for the purity" he said and it is true............
This will always have been my greatest life The one where I grew and the one when I finally found you.
Until we start the romance journey again my love, .............You are David and I am Carol

Daddy’s Little Girl / Kitana Gregory (5th Daughter )
Daddy’s Little Girl
I’ve heard all the stories about me and you. They say I followed you everywhere and wanted to do everything you do, but those are their memories not mine; after all I was little at the time, but they all said I was daddy’s little girl.
My very first memory, when I was just four, was having our pictures taken, just me and you. We went to the movies and fishing and I realize that my memories are few, but I ‘m still daddy’s little girl.
Then you left me for the very first time. You went far away, and I still don’t understand why, I was sad for what seemed a very long time, but I know, I’m still daddy’s little girl.
You returned a year later and I was surprised, you took me on an adventure and my very first airplane ride. We flew to New York, we saw the ocean and zoo, and we visited family and friends and some that I met for the very first time. And they all said I was daddy’s little girl.
Then our adventure was over and we hugged and said our good byes, I didn’t know it was for the very last time. We talked on the phone, then it became less and less, and then I got the news that you had passed and left me again, this time for good. I’m wondering , am I still daddy’s little girl?
Then I remember the stories they told me about me and you, and I realize that no matter what I do, I will always be daddy’s little girl.

Six Months of passing on 14th May, 2005................--. / Carol
.This lifetime (6 December 1950 to 14 November 2004)
To my dear sweet darling David…………
I try to understand why I sit here alone.
You are watching and looking after me
But I can not reach you on the phone.
I remember nearly everything about our short time together
Love,our fears,foods we ate,and even the weather
We talked about everything and nothing can cause that truth to sever.
I have no way of expressing to anyone how I feel
They have their own lives
And there is no way to make them see my life for real
So each day I truly love you, and each moment is for you
Thank you for loving me, coming to me,
Making our fantastic love so true.
I love you David no matter what you have evolved to be
I love you forever, an eternity, just wait and see
I knew you were out there way before we ever met
This time you are still there but now happier, healthier Your beautiful essence of love all fixed and set
Your courageous spirit through horrid life events
Illness,never ending problems andsurvival tests…
Has gained you the honour of a White Angel my dear
Take flight and soar free for you made it….Oh Yeah….xxx
David/ Carol (wife and best friend ) I believe and David did also, that we all come into this world for experiences to learn about ourselves. The struggles we have to endure; the love we feel; the achievements we gain.............David was one of those people who had so many great qualities which many on this plane do not possess. He had messages in his wisdom and when he learnt about something or somebody, the lesson was learnt fast and put to good use. He moved on into the dimension of the spirit so that he could continue his journey and evolve into the power which is waiting for him. He has taken all his experiences with him and can now see all your hearts for their true worth. Close
Me and my father never fully got along, we were both stubborn and didnt like to be proven wrong. I did love my father very much, even when I didnt show it. I still love him very, very, much even though he has been taken away from me. My father and I were soo much a like in so many ways, and it is ashame that he couldnt have stayed long enough to see it. Even though he might not be living on earth he is still with me, and all of the people he cared for, in spirit. I love you Daddy! ~Vikki~
TO LEA / Carol Williamson (Wife) David and I would like to use this forum to thank my dear friend Lea for keeping the communication about and from David open even now.............:) Close
i miss you more then ever / Kitana Gregory (youngest daghter )
h8i daddy i still love you even know your ded peopol think i have to say that you not here but i dont liesen to them i know your here . Close
My dad / Jacque (Jackie) Gregory (his daughter ) My dad taught me lots of things about life. One the most impotant things he taught was that even if you fail never give up. He is one of my hero's because even when he was sick he still smiled and laughed. He wanted the best for me and my sisters (Amber, Vikki, Kittana) Close
