The Story of Ffion Hurdle

Ffion Hurdle

This is the story of Ffion and Niamh, who grew side by side and chin to chin.

Niamh jiggled and wriggled inside mom's tum,

Ffion was peaceful, the quieter one.

Niamh couldn't wait to be set free, but Ffion had other plans, you see ...

Ffion was an angel, not meant for earth, but sent to keep Niamh safe till birth.

And when Niamh had grown big and strong, it was time for Ffion to move along.

Ffion whispered gently: Even though I cannot stay, I'll still be with you every day.

The time has come for me to go, but I love you more than you'll ever know.

I am the brightest star in the night sky,

a butterfly flapping way up high.

I am the dancing summer breeze,

and the golden autumn leaves.

I am the sand that tickles your toes,

and the sun that kisses your nose.

I am the sparkle in your eye,

and the salty tears you cry.

I am the dimple in your cheek,

and your grubby little feet.

I am the soft curl of your hair,

and the depth of your twinkly eyed stare.

I am the gurgle in your laughter,

I am ... your forever after.

Your twin I'll always be, For I am you and you are me. So when you feel sad or just a bit blue, take a moment and think of me. Look in the mirror and right on cue, I'll be smiling back at you.
