Our Dear Matthew
As tears roll down my face,
I’m told you're in a better place.
I close my eyes to see your face
suddenly I feel a warm embrace.
A smile so wide and eyes Bluer than Blue
My Heart aches with sadness and bitterness of this Life without You.
This year you’d be a Sydney Academy Grad – and on to a “Mint” Trade
A Prouder Mother and Father, you could not have Made.
I try not to be sad for I know how upset You’d be
So I carry on cherishing the precious memories of You and Me.
I’ve met so many young people whose lives were touched by you
Little did I know – they all have their own funny, wonderful Fitzy stories too.
You had a special quality Matthew my son,
All your Friends thought They were your number ONE.
You were wise beyond your years for You always knew just what to say
to just about anyone having a bad day.
I don't know if I will ever understand
but I’m told it must be part of God's plan.
As I look up towards the blue sky
I imagine you spreading your wings to fly.
Now an Angel in Heaven – please send me a sign
Just so I know, You are Fine.
As tears roll down my face
I have to believe you are in a better place.
Love You to Infinity and Beyond,
Matthew’s Loving Family
