Good-bye Bird

Good-bye my pretty Bird,

Fly away free

Never mind the tears

They’re not for you, but for me.

Good-bye my golden friend

The one who drives me mad

Even now I smile at memories

That share my life with you, making me glad.

Good-bye our precious grandmother

The children loved you a tonne

I told them when I came home

You gave me the last touch

So the game continues on!

Good-bye my pretty little bird

Death has collected you at a young age

How peacefully you left us

To say farewell to your empty cage.

RIP Mum 11/12/1944 – 25/04/2015

    Coping with the loss of a loved one is best done perhaps by remembering them and their love for us; you have done that in such a beautiful way. Loads of love and prayers your way

    I was so touched by your beautiful tribute to your Mum, that I wrote my own little tribute to her. I hope that you don’t mind, but I felt it coming from deep within my own heart. For you Mello, and for your dear Mum, I wrote Flutter Away. I hope that you like it.
