Olivia

O-n this Easter day God took you up to heaven.
L-ong days and nights followed, especially for your mummy who misses you with an
I-tensity that only a mother can. A
V-acant hole in her heart, forever longing for you.
I-nvisible threads of love will always bind you together, you are mummy's
A-ngel, who is always with her.


Remembering my niece Olivia who left this world twenty two years ago, aged three months.

As Carl has said, I hope you meet back, where there is no death again, but eternity.

Moving poetry that you wrote... Elizabeth. A few words from a unknown poet for little Olivia: We will know not why God called her back To Paradise above, But know from the garden of Eden She'll ever share her love. May she rest on the lap of the Almighty ever. Regards!
