As 2025 draws to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the lovely families who have entrusted me with the services of their loved ones this year, as well as over the many years gone by. I also wish to thank all the Funeral Directors who continue to entrust me to represent them.
This time of year can be particularly hard for those who have lost loved ones, plus we continue to get reminders and live with grief throughout the year and years thereafter.
I put the following words together for a recent service, from several poems I have shared throughout the years.....
There’s a robin on my fence today,
A feather by my feet
A heart-shaped leaf that blows along
Beside me down the street
Your song played on the radio
This morning in the car
And just last night I could’ve sworn
I saw a shooting star
The sun and rain are dancing
Making rainbows in the sky
And on the slightest breeze I watch
A butterfly go by
And people might say these are not
The signs I know they are
That it is just coincidence
Your song played in the car
That it is just the sky
And it’s just the birds and breeze
A little windy weather
And the nature of the trees
But there is nothing little
About the way they make me feel
The sense of peace they carry
Is both comforting and real
So, keep on shooting stars to me,
Keep playing me your song
Whilst you dance atop the rainbows
And blow heart-shaped leaves along
Yes, keep on sending signs my love
I’ll always look around
For your butterflies on breezes
And your feathers on the ground
Then in this festive season
As that robin sings upon the gate,
its chest a flame against the grey,
soft as dawn, yet clear as day.
It tilts its head as if to say,
I’m here, I’ve never gone away.
May the peace of this season wrap around you like a warm blanket.
May the memories you hold bring comfort.
And may the light of love continue to guide you through the days ahead as we move on into 2026.
