Slightly crazy writer and passionate educator for those who struggle
The sunlight streams in through an open window
A cool breeze follows it in
The day holds promise – relax, chill out
Yet a family is frozen in time.
How do you handle the loss of a young one
His future – a brilliant sky blue
An apprenticeship to go to
A drivers licence just obtained
School Captain – A goal achieved
And in one moment – the promise ends
No one to blame
No one to hate
No one to direct anger to.
Devastated
Numb
Mute
The why – perhaps it goes unanswered for ever
Cruel to take this young man
An honour to his family
A prime example of the character we need more of in this confusing world
Gone
Just gone
His physical presence wiped from this Earth
Perhaps his soul will remain
But his memory – lives for this generation
No children left – his line ends.
Definate.
Gone.
A beautiful child
Bang – no more.
His legacy – not genetic
His legacy – memories
So F***ing sad
so F***ing painful
To think that there are only memories now.
