My Mate Matt.
A plumber was he
Servicing your boilers
With a smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
A Digger driver was he.
Landscaping your garden
with that smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
A mobile crane driver and mechanic
was he.
Erecting Statues and buildings.
with that smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
A street cleaner was he.
Ripping those brushes free
from the vehicle did he.
Always with that
Smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
A car recovery driver was he.
Always deliver you home safe
and free did he.
Still with that smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
A fish and chip shop man was he.
Always a good portion
served by he.
With a smile on that face.
My Mate Matt.
Working on a farm did he
delivering lambs in the frost
but always with that smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
When he tapped the window
on a dark and dismal day
to have a coffee.
It was like a ray of Sunshine
from that smile upon his face.
My Mate Matt.
A husband was he
with three children.
Always with that smile on his face.
My Mate Matt.
He was born with that smile
on his face.
That is why I called him "Sunshine"
My Mate Matt.
Our Son.

Thinking of you and your family at this so sad time.
Can't imagine your sorrow at the loss of your precious son Matt.
I sincerely hope that knowing others are thinking of you helps just a little.
Much love Jan x

That's a beautiful poem John, so touching.
I wish there was something genuinely useful that I could say, but all our family's thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. Children are so precious.

So sorry John.
Reading your poem, I am saddened to think someone so special to you, was taken from you when he was only 38 years old and a family man. Thinking of you and your family.
