For Sophia.

In your dreams you will fly,

A beauty such as yours was made for sunny days and rainbow skies.

In our hearts, we hear you sing,

And all around you we can hear the music as the faeries laugh and sing.

You are blessed, in ways the world may never understand.

We who see, - can see your spirit shining brightly as you laugh and play in that sweet other-land.

Stay with us a while and grace us with your beauty and your smile.

Your rainbow coloured wings can wait for you in that sweet Western Isle.

May your days be filled with butterflies,

May every starry night bring faerie tales and laughter as you gaze up at the skies.

May the love that fills the world around you carry you on angel’s wings,

and give to you, the life that you deserve where every day is filled with joy and only laughter rings.
