Poem: My Mum for Amity & Rhys Delivered by Michael on their behalf.

We never thought that this day would come, the day we would say goodbye.

You have given us more than you could possibly imagine. Mum you have always been there and although we cannot see you,

somehow we know you will always be with us. We have been so blessed to be children of the gentlest soul we know. You gave us the greatest gift of all when we were born into this world.

You gave us life, all bound together by unconditional love. This love is never ending, it will never die.

You will always be in our dreams. You will always be our Mum.

HUMMING BIRD

Little Humming Bird you would wrap all those you loved

in your beautiful wings.

Little Humming Bird you bathed in the nectar of life

and other amazing things.

Little Humming Bird we have your memories to keep us

grateful for all you shared.

Little Humming bird the Angels came for you

sooner than we cared.

Little Humming Bird our hearts are aching

now you have to leave.

Little Humming Bird only your spirit still lives

and now it ‘s time for us to grieve.

Little Humming Bird your wings were broken

and we could see you wanted to fly.

Little Humming Bird what an amazing fight we witnessed

until our last goodbye.

The Humming Bird I always pictured when Karlee was present. Bright, Positive, Busy, Playful & Beautiful.
