Tribute To Hannah

Hannah had beautiful big blue eyes and lovely blonde hair,
Such a sweet angelic child, whom no one could ever compare.

So affectionate for her age, wanting kisses and cuddles, 
Good as gold, always well behaved and never in trouble.

Intelligent beyond her years, she knew all the names of shapes, 
At the splendour of this child people would stare at her and gape.

With her smile she lit up a room whenever she walked in, 
She was happy, so contented and always had a grin. 

Sadly for this Earth that beautiful child was not meant to be,
Aged just 2 years 11 months she passed away suddenly.

The heartache she left behind her was too much for us to bear, 
No more birthdays and Christmases with her would we ever share. 

It’s not much consolation but of her I have lots of wonderful memories,
And hundreds of photos of a little girl, I am proud to call my niece.
