She had come into their lives unexpectedly.
Just a small bundle.
A bundle they didn't know what do with.
She didn't even have a name in the beginning.
So they called her 'Flibbertigibbet'
They didn't know if they would love her
They didn't know if she was theirs
To his brother, it didn't matter,
He grew to love her her
as did he.

His brother loved her
as his daughter,he loved her as his niece
They were both taken
by her
She had brought joy
into their lives
She had brought meaning
to his brother's life.
So they named her 'Matilda'
After their mum.

Now, their happiness
their joy had gone
Matilda wasn't his brother's daughter
She wasn't his niece.

They had been lie to
His brother had been lied to

It was too good to be true.

But, she had brought love
into their lives
She had brought joy
They would never forget her.

She would always be their little 'Toad'.
