This is a tribute to my late Uncle David Whittaker.
David was born and grew up in darwen as far as i know, he was born on 27th June 1953. He was brought into the world by Irene and Jack Whittaker. David sadly fell asleep on the 15th September 2004 he lost a battle to stomach and bowel cancer. David was 51 when he fell asleep. He lived in darwen all of his life and looked after my nan when my nan was poorly, then when my nan passed away in 1998 he lived by himself. My uncle david was a Keen "Blackburn Rovers Fan" and went to near enough all there home games he was a season ticket holder. He has 1 brother my dad derek. David didnt have any children which i though was a real shame cos i thought he would of made a wonderful dad. David worked at crown paints in darwen for many years he enjoyed his job and was also a member of two gates bowling club and he now has a cup named after him in his honour which i think he would be proud of.
My uncle david was one of the kindest people anyone could ever meet whenever you needed to blow off some steam he was there and even if you just wanted a shoulder to cry on he was there to listen to me.
Miss you loads uncle david hope you enjoy playing bowls up there i'll come and have you a game in the future night night sweetdreams xxxx

Also as nan already knows ive found the perfect gentleman an youd be both proud, i know your looking down looking over your great niece chloe xxxxxxxxxx
Footprints
One night I had a dream. I was walking along
the beach with the Lord, and across the skies flashed
scenes from my life. In each scene I noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand. On was mine, and one
was the Lord's.
When the last scene of my life appeared before
me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand, and
to my surprise I noticed that many times along the
path of my life there was only one set of footprints.
And I noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest
times in my life.
I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that
once I decided to follow you, you would walk with
me all the way. But I noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life there is only one set of
footprints. I don't understand why you left my side
when I needed you most."
The Lord replied, "My precious child, I love you
and would never leave you. During your time of
Trial and suffering, where you see only one set of
footprints, I was carrying you."

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..
Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died
And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go
No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.
You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.
I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk
So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.
One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground
Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way
When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.
love theresa a g.t.s.freind xx

Waiting for season 08/09
When will I take to the field again,
when will I watch Blackburn play?
When, oh when will the season start
and kill all the mundane dismay?
It isn't even August yet,
but already we yearn,
for when the next campaign begins,
and passion roars and burns.
Soon I will take to the field again,
soon I will watch Blackburn play,
soon but not quite soon enough,
I'm counting down to the day,
when the first game is played,
first whistle blown,
that familiar feeling,
like football coming home.
Football Poem
When the final whistle blows,
The match comes to a close,
The players head for bath or shower,
The fans to pub or home.
The journalists file their reports,
And tell in crisp, terse prose
Of targets hit and chances missed,
Of Villains and Heroes.
And just like Football, Life’s a game,
With players, rules and goals.
Though not confined to ninety mins,
It too draws to a close.
So, when the Referee dictates:
“Your time is up, les jeux sont faits”,
What then, I ask, shall be my fate?
Who knows where I will go?
What destiny must I await,
When that Last Whistle blows?
B.R.F.C Chants
Hello, Hello, we are the Blackburn Boys,
Hello, Hello, we are the Blackburn Boys,
And if you are a Burnley fan surrender or you'll die,
We all follow the Rovers..
_________________________________________________
Keep the red rose in my heart keep me Rovers,
Keep the red rose in my heart I pray,
Keep the red rose in my heart keep me Rovers,
Keep me Rovers till my dying day..
_________________________________________________
Oh me lads,
Should of seen us coming,
Going down the Bolton Road,
Should of seen us coming,
All the lads and lasses,
Smiles on their faces,
Going down the Bolton Road,
To see the Blackburn aces...
_________________________________________________
Forever and ever,
We'll follow our team,
The Blackburn Rovers,
We are supreme,
We'll never be mastered,
By NO Burnley b***ards,
We'll keep the blue flag flyin' high...
_________________________________________________
Bolton Road,
Take me home,
To the place I belong,
Ewood Park,
Home of rovers,
Take me home,
Bolton Road…

One Jack Walker,
There's only one Jack Walker,
One Jack Walker,
There's only one Jack Walker...
Birthday Appreciation
Each year your birthday reminds me
That I really want to say
I’m very glad I know you;
I think of you each day.
I hope you enjoy your birthday,
All the pleasures it has in store,
And because I appreciate you,
I hope you have many more!
Fifty five
Today I turned fifty five. I feel really good.
My body's still working quite well thanks. (Touch wood!)
My hair's not too grey, my wrinkles are few,
I can still touch my toes with my knuckles. (Can you?)
Iam quite full of vigour, just getting ripe.
(But they now print the phone book in much smaller type.)
My hearings still good. Whats that you say?
Speak clearly, don't mumble, your voice wafts away.
Inside this old body Iam still young.
