Melissa Goveas

Born:12.01.1998 
Died: 14.10.2007

Milestone of decade might have elapsed   
To the Heaven above if you had not departed
Sweet memories are still bright, never unforgotten 
The lively loving euphony of your life truly human.

Tiny journey on the earth ended in abrupt 
Probably the Creator loved An Angel a lot
You were the awesome budding Rose of “Goveas family”
Humble, gentle, compassionate friend breathed devoutly.

God fearing, caring, loving child
Blessed to the parents for a short while
Who would ever dream of losing you?
People as you are countable and few

We were saying to each other “hug” us tight
Dancing in the morning, noon and night
For you were Lord’s precious blessing
With utmost joy we are declaring

You Cuddled us on the couch
and watched Television shows,
Singing and dancing was always fun
Daughter as a friend found one in million

Flash back our walks into the park,
holding each other's hand,
Cuddling the flowers, feeding the ducks,
building castles on the sea shores.

The roll around the floor with you
tease, laugh and untiringly play,
quiet listeners to your sweet melody
you always had so much to say.

Put your arms around us,
hold us near to you,
Feel the beating of our heart,
Saying “Melissa We  miss you”

You were a blessing
A special gift of love
Precious little angel
To cherish and to love

A little bit of heaven
Drifted from above
A handful of happiness
A heart full of love.

Precious and priceless
Ultimate piece of love  too
The World’s greatest miracle
Melissa “The Fire Angel” is you.

We do remember again, a year ago 
You traveled heavenly abode
On this memorable day we say “We love you”
Look forward to meet you.

Our humble request to you
Live long Melissa
Dwell in our hearts eternally Melissa
Make us like you
Now and always Melissa………….
