Emma
Adored daughter  
Big sister  
First grandchild  
 
Vibrant red hair  
Ocean blue eyes  
Rosy red cheeks  
Freckles dotted your nose  
 
Your smile contagious  
Your laughter infectious  
Your eyes sparkled  
Outward beauty flowed
 
Poppy s gardener  
Nanny's  sweetheart  
Mums big helper   
Daddy's little girl  
 
Strong  
Adventurous   
Loving  
Courageous   
 
Earthquake survivor  
Ollie best friend   
Camel rider  
Memories of Broome   
 
Vacations to Exmouth  
Port Headland day trips  
Escaping in the camper  
The Pilbara now home  
 
Recieving your passport  
A voyage in store  
An aeroplane flight  
England you'd explore   
 
Your first day at school   
Coordinated, was your attire  
Red jumper, pink shoes  
Leggings, bright blue  
 
Conscientious student   
Receiving an award   
Acknowledging your poem  
A certificate your reward   
 
Despite major surgery   
A "real teacher" you craved  
Gaining legend status  
Retuning to school  
 
Taken to soon  
Seven years old  
Depleted of fight   
Resting your head   
 
Surrounded by family   
For the very last time  
Your eyes closed  
and to heaven you rose
