You took a child

Mark Bridger,

stole her soul.

Her mum and dad

will never see her grow.

Never see her smile again,

or skip through puddles,

never hear her read her ABCs.

They will never pick her up

when fallen,

never buy another pair of shoes

or watch her life unfold,

caterpillar to butterfly

as she spreads

her wings.

All of the wails of man

cry out for your destruction

for the corruption of innocence,

a life simply squashed.

Heartbreaking to read but bravely told. A situation no-one wants to think about for long. As a parent especially, the horror hits home hard. As does this poem.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Cathy
