Godmother/Auntie

My best friend has just died suddenly in her sleep. She was my daughters god mother and they also called her auntie. My daughters (17 & 13) are going to say a few words at the funeral and I wondered if anyone knew of a lovely poem or a few words to help them on their way to prepare.

What My Godmother Meant To Me

Godmothers have no wands or wings,
So they work with wisdom, love, and things.
Having taken on this role,
You loved me right down to my soul.

You offered kindness
And greetings with a hug and kiss,
Each freely out of love which I will miss.

I chose a twinkling star in the sky at night ,
To say a prayer for you to it's bright light.
You’re in God’s Heavens now and no longer in pain,
In my thoughts, you’ll always remain…

How lucky I was,
How blessed I’ve been,
You were more than my Godmother,
You were also my friend.

I love you and miss you ~ Your Goddaughter

What a lovely verse.

Is it OK for me to add it to the other poems on the Book of Remembrance website?
