Robert Campbell Clark 





Please light a candle for our dad




The music on this site was choosen by dad to be played when he was gone, he lived for rock and roll, these were his wishes.




All I Need Is You Dad


I made this site, as a tribute to my daddy. It's a place I can take my thoughts to when I need to feel close to him.


I started it in hope to make some peace with my unexpected loss. I have yet to find that peace.


My heart is still broken and can never be fixed. There will forever be an empty space in my life. 


























I Love You Dad


Love Forever Linda x x x 








We did not know that morning
What sorrow the day would bring,
The bitter grief and shock severe
To part with one we loved so dear. 

You bid no one a last farewell
No chance to say good-bye,
You were gone before we knew it
Only God knows why.

It broke our hearts to lose you
but you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Though your smile is gone forever
And your hands we cannot touch,
We will never lose the memory
Of the one we loved so very much. 

Forever loved and remembered 










Made with so much love, hugs & kisses from your grand children

James, Sarah & David



















Watch over us all please



































There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost,
Forever will remain.
God made this special place,
When he first created man,
For he knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow,
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one,
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence,
Will be found in Memory Lane

A LETTER TO MY FAMILY 

To my dearest family, 
some things id like to say,
first of all to let you know, 
i arrived here okay. 



I'm writing this from heaven, 
here I dwell with God above,
Here there's no more tears of sadness,
here is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy,
 just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I am with you morning, 
noon and night. 



That day I had to leave you,
when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me,
 he said 'I welcome you'
'Its good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on'

 

'I need you here so badly, 
you are apart of my plan
there is so much we can do,
 to help our mortel man'
God gave me a list of things,
 that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list,
 was to watch and care for you. 



And when you lie in bed at night,
the days chores put to flight
God and I are close to you... 
in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth,
and all of those loving years
Because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears. 



Do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you,
all what God had planned
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is through
More then ever before, 
I'm so much closer to you
There are rocky roads ahead of you
 and many hills to climb
But together we can do it, 
by taking one day at a time. 



It was always my philosophy 
and I'd like it for you too
That as you give into the world,
 the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody,
 who is in sorrow and pain 
Then you can say to God at night.... 



'My day was not in vain'
And now I am contented... 
that my life was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way, 
I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody who is
 sad and feeling low
Just lend a hand to pick them up, 
as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps,
 only half a step behind
And when its time for you to go..... 
from that body to be free
Remember you are not going..... 
You're coming here to me. 



Until we are together again
love and miss you all 



Daddy, Robert, Poppy




I Am Always With You

When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home" 



My Year in Heaven

It's been a year since I had to leave
God said it was my time to go.
I miss you all so very much
And I needed you all to know.

Heaven is a beautiful place
With a view that soothes the soul.
All the angels have jobs to do
And daddy angel is my role.

For though you may not see me
My job I still have to do.
Being a good daddy angel
By watching over you

As this year comes to a close
When God called me away
Remember all the fun we had
And will again someday.

Love and memories do not die
They live within your heart.
By keeping them locked away
We are never really far apart. 

" Love you all "



















Thanks Dianne for making my dad an Angel and for your lovely work it is very much appreciated and all the support that I have received from you and my friends on the Angels and Pals network.













There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.

he was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.

he touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held him every minute
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the Heavens up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send him all my love 






Linda, Gordon, 
James, Sarah & David xxxxx

















A Letter from Heaven

Dear Mr Postman,
Can you send a letter from me?
I need it sent from up above to my
Best Friend and Earthly family.

Please send it quick, my daughter is
sad, I hate to see her cry.
Every night she prays to God,
and sadly asks him why.

Please let it say, I could not stay,
with an angel I had to go.
I'm fine, I'm happy here with
the other Angels I know.

I hope it reads to Linda, I know
you love me too.
I miss you lots and all the things
that we had planned to do.

Please close it with I love you so,
I'm with you in your heart
I never really left you see,
I was an angel from the start.
























'Rest In Peace'
You are not forgotten my love
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last,
Your soul will live in me.
I'll miss you now
My heart is sore.
As time goes by
I'll miss you more.
Your loving smile,
Your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

























Tears fall from my eyes
As softly the memories flow
With tears, salty on my tongue.
I miss you so much.

Tomorrow is frightening
Except for the thought
Of seeing you again,
Another time, another place.

I hear your voice;
In my dreams you come.
We talk and laugh
About silly, important things.

Each day without you is less:
Less bright, less full…less.
I feel your love with me,
Yet, I want you to hold.

Faith in God eases the pain
For moments, sometimes days.
Still, I cry, but not for you,
For the loss I feel in me.

























Just another day without you here with me Dad,
another day the sun shines but I feel no warmth inside
Seems like I should be getting used to this by now
Can’t tell you how many tears I’ve cried.

But I go on, breathing and existing but not really living
I smile at people and even sometimes laugh
not really feeling anything but darkness and despair
hopelessly wishing for something I cannot have

People say I am so strong and should be admired
they don’t really know what they are talking about
only seeing the fake smiles I have created for them
I could win an award for all this acting, that is no doubt

While inside I ache for your touch your smile and your voice
quietly wanting the wait to see you again to be over for me
wishing for an end to come sooner than later
but knowing only God knows what is to be

So I go on with this facade, a sad excuse for happiness
with part of me hoping it is all a horrible dream
the other part knowing you will never return to me here
perhaps even wishing the end for me was near

Mainly I spend my time wanting something I cannot have
time to tell you all the things I never had time to say
wanting to hold you in my arms again and never let go to say "ILOVE YOU" just one more time, but mostly I just want to have you here
“JUST ONE MORE DAY ”






















































There Is A New Angel In Heaven Today
Although I Had To Suffer The Pain
Of My Precious Dad Going Away!
I Will Always Miss Him...
“Wondering Why He Had To Part?”
I Will Forever Hold His Memory
Deep Inside My Heart
I Will Always Be Grateful
For The Love We Shared
I Will Treasure His Memory
Ever Day, Every Hour
In The Comfort Of His Love
I Will Always Be ....
Knowing I Have A Special Angel
Watching Over Me!


























Oh, God. This does not seem real even today. How can I put into words what is truly in my heart? My soul screams out for you every day. I fluctuate between being "okay" and being in that dark empty place where your light here on earth used to shine. People comment on how strong they think that I am…but, that is just a necessary illusion provided by the grace of God to carry me through. 



The phrase "time heals all wounds" is incorrect – it is better said that "time teaches us how to endure the pain". After only 350 days, I am not even begining to heal, – instead I’m learning how to function day-to-day along with the constant tears, the constant agonizing pain deep in my heart and soul, and the unbearable loneliness without you. 



IF I COULD MAKE JUST ONE FAMILY UNDERSTAND WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH. 



IF WE LIVED IN A WORLD THAT WE ALL WERE LIVING AS IF TOMORROW VERY WELL COULD BE OUR LAST DAY. WHAT WOULD WE SAY TO EACH OTHER? IF WE COULD ONLY LOOK EACH OTHER IN THE EYES AND LET THE OTHER ONE KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY TRULY CARE, AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NOT DOUBTS, OR REGRETS.



 I AM ONE THAT WILL ADMIT, I AM NOT ABSOLUTLEY SURE IF MY DAD TRULY KNEW HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM.I SHOWED HIM AND TOLD HIM IN EVERYWAY, BUT BECAUSE HE IS NOT HERE WITH ME I WILL ALWAYS SAY I COULD HAVE DONE MORE TO LET HIM KNOW HOW DEEPLY I LOVE HIM, AND ITS NOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T SAY IT ENOUGH OR SHOW IT ENOUGH. I WAS ALWAYS TELLING HIM THAT I LOVED HIM IF IT WAS JUST OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE OR AT A VERY SPECIAL MOMENT. 



SO DO ONE THING, LOOK AT THE PEOPLE THAT YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT AND TRY TO SAY WHAT YOU WOULD SAY IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES.
MAYBE THATS WHERE THE SAYINGS,,,
ALWAYS KISS ME GOODNIGHT,
AND MAKE THE LAST WORDS EACH NIGHT,
I LOVE YOU... 



I'M MISSING YOU 
























Why can't I speak when I have so much to tell?
Why can't I write when I have so much in mind?
Why can't I sing when there's music in my heart?
Why can't I dance when there's rythm in the air?

Too many words left unspoken
Too many things left undone
Why can't it be and why can't I?
For all I know this pain deep inside
Took the gladness from my heart.

Is this the pain of missing you?
Is this the reason behind it all?

Hear the agony of my heart
Longing for you and for your touch
Feeling your lips, feeling your face
Missing your kisses and warm embrace.

When will the waiting ever be over?
For as long as were apart I can never be whole
Oh! My Dearest Love
I just want you to know
That my heart is aching because
"I'M MISSING YOU!"









































Remembering You

Your time on earth seemed all too brief
because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself remembering you.
Although I cannot see or hear you,
I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with me at the emergence
of the first flowers of spring.
I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too
for those memories are a comfort now
when I lovingly----
Remember you!!










ONE LITTLE CANDLE

I lit a candle tonight, in honor of you
Remembering your life, and all the times we'd been through.

Such a small little light the candle made
until I realized how much in darkness it lit the way.

All the tears I've cried in all my grief and pain
what a garden they grew,watered with human rain

I sometimes can't see beyond the moment, in hopeless dispair
But then your memory sustains me, in heartaches repair.

I can wait for the tomorrow,when my sorrows ease
Until then,I'll light this candle, and let my memories run free 


I feel like I’ve just existed
And now it’s been a year.
I don’t know how I’ve lived and breathed
Without you being here.
I know you lived your lifetime
As short as that seems to me,
But the pain in my heart is still so great,
Yet I know your spirit is free.
At times I think I hear you
The thoughts come to my mind.
I struggle for the sound of your voice,
But your voice I cannot find.
Yet you come to me in many ways
So I know you did not die,
You want to tell me that you’re close,
And to please stop asking Why.
Our lives on earth seem all too brief,
Or brief as it seems to me.
But where you are is forever,
God calls that Eternity! 








It is your first 
" Angelversary " 
31st March 2007    





Dad 



A year's gone by and still the pain
Hurts each and every day.
We miss you so very much
The ache will never go away.

But if anyone's in Heaven
It surely must be you.
A kind and very gentle man
To everyone you knew.

You'll always be in our hearts
Our love will always stay.
And when we are through on earth
We'll be with you one day.

Until the day we're together
And we're a family once more.
Remember that we love you
And greet us at Heaven's door.

Soar through the skies dear dad
Let your wings take flight.
And we will keep your memory
Locked in our hearts so tight.

The day will come and we'll be there
Our entire family.
In the home of the Lord
For all of eternity.

~DMN~ 







Poppy 



We love and miss you Poppy
And we hope that you know.
That we've been very sad
Since God said you had to go.

But we know you're in Heaven
Because you were so good.
And we'd love to give you kisses
If there was a way we could.

James, Sarah, and David
I want you all to know
It was I that said to God
I am tired and need to go.

You're right I am in Heaven
And I really miss you three.
Heaven is so beautiful
And I am as happy as can be.

Please don't be sad for your Poppy
I have wings and I can fly.
Everything is wonderful
So children please don't cry.

I can still watch over you
Make sure that you're okay.
So I want to see you laugh
I want to see you play.

So let me say before I go
I always will love you.
So be very, very good
And you'll go to Heaven too.

~DMN~
