I posted this poem a few days ago when I first read
this terrible news. Then I changed it make it seem less personal when there were
still questions in the air.
So here I have restored the poem to the original
words, and replaced the photo that I had removed. Having seen today’s news that
I have copied in at the bottom here. My husband Steve and I feel so deeply the
sadness that all of Michaels friends and relatives are feeling, particularly
our cousins who have lost a lovely nephew.
For Michael
Someone has been murdered
No idea who
You think about his family
What ever will they do
Someone has been murdered
Nobody you know
But he was loved by someone
Maybe someone that you know
Someone has been murdered
Caught up in fight
Trying to help a girl
He saw it wasn’t right
Someone has been murdered
So terrible a blow
Heartbreak for a family
Of someone that you know
Someone has been murdered
You know their hearts will break
A nephew of your cousin
You weep for their tears sake
Someone has been murdered
Leaves a boy without his dad
They never will forget him
Forever now so sad
