Night

A family in Sydney lost their eldest son (19) a few years back. He was punched in a random one-punch attack while out in the city one night with his girlfriend. The perpetrator was under the influence.

Yesterday his younger brother was found dead. Also at the age of 19. I cannot comprehend how the parents are expected to cope. Losing both sons at the age of 19 four years apart. Unimaginable pain and loss. Never ending.

Love your loved ones please, tomorrow their day might be night.

Eternal Dream

The headline caught my eye
I stopped to read the words
Little boy and his friend
Aged two and a few days
Fell to their eternal dream
The phone rang in the night
I answered to hear your voice
Your son and his friend
Popped into my mind
And I knew

Sporting Tragedy

In the midst of tears
Tragedy and turmoil, please
Spare a thought for Sean

Condolences to the family of Philip Hughes
And all those involved in this very sad tragedy

Life cut short
In the prime of his
Years, tribute
