Dear Brave Mama

To the Brave Mamma and dear Soul

My heart sinks in, overwhelmed by sadness

Switching on the news is like attending another’s funeral

The sun’s not yet up, darkness everywhere

 I sit and listen in despair

I hear of a little soul, barely 4 years on earth but returned to heaven

In a tragedy caused with intention, how can a human be so cruel I wonder

A tear falls down my cheek, rage inside my heart like thunder

The brave mama a victim but talks about forgiveness and thanks for knowing her son

Even if only for few years, a gift which brought a family to unite as one

I am the keeper of an almost 4 year old little soul

I grieve as if it’s my own little one who has perished in my very hands

I pray that the perpetrator feels the FEELING of a mother losing a child

That pain is greater than death, even death as a punishment is mild

I wish you dear mamma, peace, understanding and strength to carry on

For in this battle of good and evil he has won,

For your little one is in a greater place, in heaven smiling down on you

He’s with the angels dancing amongst the clouds patiently waiting for you

In memory of Taegrin Morris
