John Johnston Cosby Simply The Best

You are friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there... yes that's you.

Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful and helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

You're one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another... in the long chain.

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old
You'll always be there, I know that is true
I'll always be here... always for you.

British Soldier

Iraq Battle Cry

A silent army of one hundred & seventy four
now march forth across heavens floor.
Fallen souls in far off land
of blood, gore and desert sand.
Many of us have now journeyed home
blinded, maimed with shattered bone
Our cry for justice heralds loud and clear.
think of us and we will all be near
The 'fallen' wonder, did we really have to die
was it really for a tragic lie?

Heartache

If I could have one life time wish
One dream that could come true
I would pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and for you

A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried

You left behind many broken hearts
And happy memories too
But I never wanted memories
I only wanted you

To your resting place I go
where flowers are placed with care
But nobody knows the heartache I feel
As I turn and leave you there


I miss you with all my heart bro. Thinking of you always xxxx

Your sign

my dearest johnst,
i had been meaning to clean my computer desk and go through some paper work, i kept putting it off cause i couldn,t be arsed.
The night before our jump something told me to get off my sofa and go and do it, so i did.
i came across this plastic folder with bits and bobs in it, the first thing i pulled out of it was a letter you had written me.
I couldn't believe it , the tears roared from my eyes as i read it . I miss you so much johnst,i knew that was a sign from you letting me know that the jump would be fine, and you know what johnst it was absolutley amazing i would do it everyday if i could. i was not one bit scared, i had no nerves at all , when i landed and went with ang to get my photos i found a bright white feather on the ground that was my sign from Bill, i knew you were with me that day, and i knew geordie and my Bill were too. i love you all so very much and i miss you all like crazy. xxxx

They say that life is fleeting
I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly
With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me
Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head
Is wet with them at night.
I know your heart is hurting
The words we left, unsaid
I love you's left unspoken
Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried
That served to make you whole
Remains to make you stronger
Within your grieving soul.
For you see, while you were weeping
On the day I passed away
At the gravesite near the flowers
Where my loved ones knelt to pray.
An angel came to see me
She took me by the hand
She led me to a kingdom
In a very distant land.
As I look down from the heaven
And see you standing there
Your heart so ever burdened
With more weight than it can bear.
I long to bring you comfort
I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely
Cause all your tears to cease.
The joy I've found in heaven
Goes far beyond compare
The love that's so elusive
Can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining
There's no storm clouds here or rain
There's no teardrops found in heaven
There's no suffering, there's no pain.
You needn't be so troubled
Stay close to God and pray
That someday we'll be together
One bright and glorious day.
So my love, you shouldn't question
My dear you need not cry
I've gone to be with Jesus
I really didn't die.

Love you always brother

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere

MISSING YOU EVERYDAY

My dear brother now that you are gone
your no longer here to share
the bond we had together-
a bond of love and care.
Yet somehow something tells me
you are watching over me-
Now that from worldly cares
You are always free.
I miss you so very much,
and my tears i cannot hide
Yet' within my heart, I feel
You are always by my side
ever since you went away
life has never been the same
yet, it comforts me to know
That one day we'll meet again
