Scott Schofield

In memory of Scott Schofield (18/05/1990 – 01/11/2010)

In loving memory of a wonderful son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and special friend to many. An inspiration to all who knew him, always loved, never forgotten.

I write to you in heaven, I’m not sure where I should start,
The tear stained words I send to you are from my broken heart,
You taught the world true kindness and you were always there for me,
you taught the world happiness and that laughter was the key,
My letter is far too short, I’m struggling, that’s the truth
the world it seems so painful and empty without you,
I seal this letter with a kiss and send it on its way,
then out of the blue, I hear your voice, here are the words you want to say,

My loved ones, I have heard you before your pen began to write,
my soul is with you every day and through the dark of night, 
Although I am in heaven, it doesn’t mean that I am gone,
Take a look around and see my spirit still lives on.
When the stars shine at night my heart is what you see
and when you dream gentle dreams your heart is here with me,
Don’t worry if your heart feels hurt, with my help the pain will ease,
don’t worry if you need to cry, I’ll help dry your tears,
Please celebrate the life we shared, to your memories I belong,
and talk about the good times, it makes my soul burn strong,
If for now you don’t believe I’ll still keep you safe from harm,
until the day we meet again and I take you in my arms…
