Little One

She took you away Not one year on this earth You never learnt to speak Smiled from birth A dark stormy night From then you were no more In hate you were taken Our hearts sore Gone now little one? And you left us so young It was not you I know No life clung Where are you my boy? Not yet twelve months old I know it won't be hell Pain enfolds Your life gone Before it had begun Never will we forget Little one © 20/05/2013 In memory of my little brother whose life was taken by another's hand.

I feel your pain, dear Mandy. Reminds me of the day I heard of my brother's death on the radio driving home from a day at the beach. Jake
