Jennie and her husband, David tragically lost their 9 month old baby girl,
Matilda Mae to SIDS three months ago.
The
support I have witnessed from the blogging community for Jennie and her family has
been truly amazing and it never ceases to amaze me how everyone rallies around
to give their love and support to their fellow bloggers (who in most cases have
become friends) in whatever way they can.
I
have wanted to comment on posts, or send a message of condolence to Jennie,
David, Esther and William but somehow it hasn't felt right. I am one of those
who came across the blog because of their loss and so I have read from a
distance sending out as much healing and love to the family as possible.
However,
in recent days I have felt the urge and the want to do something for Matilda
Mae, particularly as today would have been Matilda’s 1st birthday. And it is also today that Jennie, David, Esther and William will finally lay her
ashes to rest.
So,
I would like to honour Matilda with this poem. Rest in peace MM xx
********
For Matilda Mae
Fly
sweet angel, spread your wings and fly
This
world has now released you, back to God’s embrace
Your
presence has been felt far and wide
You
have touched so many hearts
Many
have never known you but feel your everlasting spark
Like
a firework you've touched us
With
your beauty and your colourful, sparkling smile
That
penetrates deep inside us and touches us to our core, our soul
Rest
in peace now sweet angel, you are loved both here and there
And know
that when the time is right, you will all be linked together once more
Keep
shining your bright light sweet angel, we honour you today
As we
wish you safe passage on your voyage across the sea

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely poem, thank you for writing it and for thinking of Tilda on her special day x Thank you x
ReplyDeleteJennie - Thank you so much for popping across to leave me a message xx It means a lot and it was truly an honour to be part of Tilda's special day. I know it's not the same but when we scattered some of my Mum's ashes close to where we live here for the girls, it gave us all a sense of peace knowing she was finally laid to rest and part of her was with us. The loss never goes away but beautiful Tilda will be with you always and forever. That link can never ever be broken. Sending you and your beautiful family love, healing and light xxx
DeleteLovely words that say so much about a beautiful baby girl and her strong family.
