I love to write poetry as anyone who has sat in one of my services knows. This picture spoke to me painted by Eleanor Tomlinson Art and I wanted to accompany it with a poem...I called it "Maamalade friends"

Who knew long ago when a small bear was born,
In the depths of wild Peru,
He would travel here to warm our hearts,
And meet our old Monarch too.
A bear who was raised on marmalade,
With chaos in his wake,
Would sit to drink tea with our beautiful Queen
And history he would make.
His little red boots and blue Duffle coat,
Would become a familiar sight,
To love, to care, to raise a smile,
And fight for what was right.
A superstar he fast became,
After his travels across the sea.
How many people would love him,
The bear of London he would be.
A familiar sight it is to behold,
All the flowers and cuddly bears,
Laid out at the Palace gates,
To show much each person cares.
From a little bear to a hero,
Hand in hand with our gracious Queen,
Accompanied on her last journey,
The best sight to ever be seen.
Please keep her safe on her travels,
To rest in Heaven above,
And let the angelic kingdom,
Know the nation send our love.
Paddington…You deserve to be knighted,
For the comfort, you have been,
For the smiles, you brought to our faces,
When you sat to take tea with the Queen.

Today I officiated a service where we said goodbye to a beautiful little girl born sleeping. We celebrated her life and then the family tossed pink roses into her grave before we tucked her in... Sweet dreams little Amelia x

My poetic contribution for our beloved Queen...

You lived your life so graciously,
You always did your best,
And now the time has come for you,
To take that well-earned rest.
With every beat of stoic heart,
Whilst often bearing pain,
You travelled stormy waters,
And continued long to reign,
We thank you for your diligence,
Wise words and gentle ways,
For all the caring that you gave,
That brightened others' days.
You leave behind a legacy,
One of love and admiration,
This is very clear to see,
As grief consumes our nation.
Unfaltering devotion,
You served us to your end,
As a country we adored you,
Our love we wish to send.
You came to rule with poise and grace,
Your smile lit up the land,
Rest your head from the heavy crown,
And follow Philip’s hand.
Let go of all the burden now,
Walk the path to heaven above,
Knowing that you take with you,
So many people’s love.
So, goodnight Mam, we wish to say,
Thanks for everything,
Because of you, we can declare,
Long live our brand new King.
