A light is now lit
a new place now set
for yet another
of little life's angels,
robbed of a chance of life.

When will the pain,
the misery,
the suffering end.

When will it be time
for just a land of happy times
nothing more, nothing less.

A steady flow of tears is shed,
flowers laid,
words said
as a nation, indeed globe mours in disgust.
At yet another senseless killing.

A loss so great
As these two special little souls.
Who I am sure will be sadly missed by all.
Friends.
Inseperable I am sure even in death.

(Written in memory of the high profile case in many countries, including New Zealand where I live of the murdered British 10 year old best friends Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells recently, ...all others like them before and to come sadly)
