I think back to that dreaded night
I wonder how could
You make such a deadly mistake.
Do you know what you stole
From our Family?
A Child that had not reached
His full potential.
You stole a child
That was Loved by All.
You broke the Hearts
Of all who knew him.
You took an innocent Child
And stole him from
His parents, sisters, aunts, uncles,
Cousins, grandparents, great grandparents,
Great aunts and uncles, and friends.
You took an innocent Child
Away from his mama.
You took a father’s son.
You took a sister’s brother.
You took a grandparent’s grandchild.
You took an Aunt and Uncle’s nephew.
You took a cousin’s cousin.
You took a friend’s friend.
Do you live with this everyday?
Do you think about the pain
You have created?
When you are awake
Do you think about what you
Took from Us?
As you lay asleep
Do you dream
About the Tragic Death
Of My Beloved Son?
