Helen Poem by Royston Allen

Helen



For you, our dear Helen, life was so short
so full of tears and with great sadness wrought.
In tragic circumstances was your death
as there alone in the grave you laid bereft.

For forty years you lay forgotten there
and no one came to you, their grief to share.
Then one day we were reminded of you,
of all the hard times that you’d been through.

We were so determined that you should claim
your rightful place within the Allen name.
So we have found your lonely resting place
and desire to hold you in our embrace.

We bring your dear mothers mortal remains
Reuniting you both, dispelling all pains
and embrace you into our family
for we feel that’s the place where you should be.

Jeff is standing here and would like to say
that you are his daughter as from today.
He loves your mother and now loves you too
and has a pretty photograph of you.
