Little Angel

by S.Yousaf

Tears fall, striking and glistening

Drenching my cheeks

Heart weighs down in sheer pain and loss

For I am a mother even if not yours

To think of you a little toddler

With years of life ahead…

Taken away so quick,

Life cut short, unlawfully, unfairly

I know not how

Nor who

I hurt that you were stripped of life

I see pictures of you

Your smile, your innocence

Gone, taken away from earth

Unlawfully, unfairly

Little Angel

If only there had been help

If only there had been protection

I curse the who

I curse the choice made by them

But for you my dear child, I pray

Oh it hurts even though I had never met you

You should be here

You should be sleeping in bed near your twin

You should be getting up in a few hours for breakfast

You should be chasing your siblings and screaming in delight…

Oh Little Angel

How cold you must have been

How hard must it have been…

Trusts must have broken

Tears must have been shed

So much yet to be revealed

Justice yet to be served

But

Oh little one…

You won’t come back…

I look at my children curled up in bed right now

Knowing you’re not in yours

It hurts,

Dear Little Angel

May you sleep well in heaven

May you awake surrounded by love and happiness

I pray…and I wish…Oh Lord I do wish you were here

Taken away like this…Unlawfully…Unfairly

I pray my dear child it was…without pain

God I pray for that

A hole has set within my heart

Baby boy…little angel…be safe

With love…

RIP Mikaeel Kular, the 3 year old had been missing for 2 days from his home in Edinburgh. His body was found 3 hours ago in Fife. I am heart broken, being a mother myself, I had been praying since I found out he went missing. I pray he went quickly and without pain. That poor baby…

This is unedited, more may be added as I come to terms with this.

Thank you
