"Time cannot steal the treasures that we carry
in our hearts, nor ever dim the shining thoughts
our cherished past imparts."

Dedicated to Lorna Brooks

I only met you in Nineteen Ninety seven
Now you have gone to God in heaven
You were my fathers cousin, we had only met
She be joking around with him, I bet

A wonderful lady who took me in to her heart.
It had been 51 long years we had been apart.
Last time she saw me I was two in a nightie
We next met when I was 51, God almighty

Wed been apart for so many years
Yes we hugged and shed some tears
She told me stories about my dad
For that I will always be so glad.

She took me in as one of her family,not a visitor
Took me to met her cousin, my Aunty Lois, my fathers sister
For a reunion that will always be a healing light in my heart.
To heal all the wounds of the time we were apart.

She gave me a beautiful piece of jewellery as a gift
I will treasure it for ever, to give my spirits a lift.
Lorna was so warm and so jolly
Yes she love her packets of lollies

Breakfast was banana and toast
She was a wonderful host
After ice cream, she must have a cup of tea,
This was a delight and so special to me.

Lorna dear Lorna you are now gone
To be with God and your husband beyond
My heart goes out to Michelle, Wendy and Murray
Knowing they will be missing her,,life in a scurry

Louissa and Jason I know she loved you so
She wrote and told me stories of both of you, you know
She was so so proud of you two
Just as she was of her other grandchildren too

Aunty Lorna as you rest in peace with God on high
I will always remember you as I look to the sky
The lovely long chats we had on the beach
Yes you will always love T Point the beautiful reach?

Just remember in the short time I knew you
We were family through and through
You helped me find my dream
Now you rest in peace, a smiling beam

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
PAMELA.
