Pearl


A pearl, a fragment of spiritual time
A jewel … in transformation
Sharing a perfect soul,
   in a world of imperfection
   with such small, yet great measure

Ikeila
Forever shine
Blessed are we who have known your spirit

Although home has been confined
   within white walls since birth
You’ve spared a smile of love and courage
To help renew all broken wings of faith
By showing how to give … to give of love so freely

Smile on in wonder, little blue eyed babe
Rest your tiny breast from labour
Let soft blowing winds
   keep you in God’s memory,
While cherubs comfort you in sleep with tender song

Until we meet again in paradise,
Sleep so silently with other wee souls
   who share the journey’s wait

Peaceful baby’s breath
   on soft spoken sighs
Sleep, sleep, little one … in lilacs
   and fields of clover
Lavender to lay your tiny head amidst

Petals of rose tears, fall on paths
   and we shall not forget how great a love
   that one so small can bless anothers heart
My little one … I love you … know peace
Know rest … bless you little pearl



  To my beautiful little granddaughter Ikeila Elizabeth Aspden  
11 Months at her parting
