Clowns in the Sky
“Are there clowns in the sky?” said a little girl to me,
“Of course,” I replied, “where else would they be?”
“In the circus,” she said “you cheeky monkey!”
“Then I said” aah you are wise, but also there are
Clowns in skies”

One day you’ll discover the secret of the clown and go
To your friend “guess what I’ve found!”
The secret of the clown is it can be,
In the circus, the sky or even the sea!

Emma wrote this poem on the day of Jennifer’s service, one of Jennifer’s little sayings when she thought someone was teasing her would be “you Cheeky monkey”. At the time of writing this Emma was not aware that Jennifer’s ashes were to be taken to her favorite beach and “given” to the sea, so the last line has extra special meaning for family, because they do believe that wherever there are Clowns there also will be children including their beautiful little princess.
