Sarah


A little girl died, and now buried ‘heath,
A mother’s unshed tear of loss and grief,
A father’s final sigh of relief,
A nations farewell – to Sarah at peace.

Taken from her family before even seven,
By a man without shame, and eternal damnation,
We should never give in to this man’s salvation.
As Sarah deserves better from our civilised nation.


In memory of Sarah Payne – A girl who was taken from her family at such a young age.....

We are thinking of you....

No one should have to go through that pain.  My prayers go out to her family and those who knew her.  Yet, even with the physical loss... her life and memories live on in those who take the time to think of her.  Thanks for the read.

Verma,
I kinda sensed when opening this thread I'd be needing a kleenex box nearby...
A very touching poem and my heart goes out 2U4 having the courage and love to write this and share with all of us...

This is a heartfelt tribute - I sure it was hard to write, Verma...

- it was not an
unmusical sound: long, falling, half a sigh,
like wind in the wires, or a train distancing.
