Below is an email I received yesterday from my new friend Dallas who helps the children who live on the streets in Australia.  As you will see, Dallas is a very special soul.

 

G'day Bonnie,

Hope this finds you and yours in good health, and surrounded by love and happiness.

I wrote a poem recently which I have enclosed, I almost gave up in despair with this loss. But I love these kids and so many are dependent on me being there. I have lost so many of my street kids to this evil.

Anyway just wanted to share with you and to let you know your babys name, photo and poetry are a constant referral and discussion point among my street kids. She is part of us now.

Bye for now.

Dallas

 

                Mellissa Jane And Baby Jade

 

Within these chapel walls so gray

I farewelled two children today

The chaplin offered up their souls

To the heavenly kingdom paved with gold.

 

 Melissa Jane now rests in peace

A victim of the heroin beast

Not another mourner could be seen

For this sweet child of seventeen.

 

The back alleys of Perth she roamed

Train stations and parks were her home

This child nobody seemed to know

Never got the chance to shine or glow.

 

Molested from an early age

She roamed this world filled with a rage

But to street kids much younger than she

A mother figure she came to be.

 

Like a little doting mother hen

She fought their battles protected them

She'd tell them always walk with pride

Remember, I'm always at your side.

 

But there was no one there for her

When slinking like a mangy cur

Deaths dealer came to seek her out

Come home with me, I'll help you out.

 

And once he'd had his lustful way

He spat her out, chased her away

It wasn't long before she knew

Within her womb life stirred anew.

 

So searching for a remedy

With heavy heart she came to me

I'm running out of space and time

What will happen to this child of mine.

 

There are no options she declared

I'm catholic so best get prepared

But fate stepped in and played it's hand

Deaths dealer called with the final plan.

 

And so I said farewell today

To Melissa Jane and unborn Jade

Within my heart their spirit sleeps

Mine to treasure and to keep.

Dallas (c)

My Dearest Bonnie

Four words brought me back to you, as another year leaves our sight without your sweet Angel, Please place this one on your site ..... This is one I choose to publish in my book, let me know what you think, Love ya always, Val

Smiley Bug

Sweet sixteen, of youthful hue,
the years, I try to turn,
Ailie, its like a permanent hole,
in which my heart still yearns,

Frozen walkways, begin this path,
in which I struggle soooo ...... with pain,
"I ache for her" ..... she whispered out,
and I hear her call your name,

Losing you, of golden smiles,
tressled locks of blonde,
that smile that you brought within,
how are "We" to carry on,

The light dimmed out the day you died,
without you its seems grey,
sweet, sweet one, of sixteen years,
we love you so .... today,

Reminising back on pictures,
and tiny written notes,
I'm lost within the pain I feel,
and the tears that seem to float,

"New days soon will find me ... peace"
I hear so many say,
but its so much to bear this loss,
when this angel flew away,

I keep you soooo ..... deep within,
the pocket of my heart ... now bare,
who was that girl that changed our life,
and flutters with wings up there,

The spirit winds, I try to hear,
where I laid your soul to rest,
"I ache for her" ...... I hear her whisper,
of youthful hue, then death!

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And it's like you haven't been,
Gone a moment from my side.
Like the tears were never cried;
Like the hands of time are holding you and me.

 

And with all my heart I'm sure,
We're closer than we ever were.
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need.
There are more than angels watching over me:
I believe; Oh, I believe.

    That when you die your life goes on:
    It doesn't end here when you're gone.
    Every soul is filled with light,
    It never ends and if I'm right,
    Our love can even reach across eternity:
    I believe; Oh, I believe.

      Forever, you're a part of me.
      Forever, in the heart of me.
      I will hold you even longer if I can.
      Oh, the people who don't see the most,
      See that I believe in ghosts.
      If that makes me crazy, then I am,
      'Cause I believe.

Oh I believe.

    There are more than angels watching over me:
    I believe; Oh, I believe.

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And I believe.

 

A Prayer for Ailie

From the dawn of your birth
To the sunset of your death
I honor you.

From the missions you completed
To your dreams left undone
I honor you.

From the seasons of your being
Through the cycle of your life
I honor you.

From your time beyond the veil
Lie your entrance back again
May the angels support you


May my healing love reach you
From this moment until
the end of time.
So may it be.
Mama loves you...
