MENTAL HEALTH A little book of poems

A Flower Has 16 Petals A flower it had 16 petals The wind carried you all away Never did we ever expect You wouldn't be here to stay One petal is Victoria Clydesdale 5 years with you was not long On 13th March 1996 It all went so horribly wrong One petal is Emma Crozier Your parents was over the moon Little did we know The petal would blow away soon One petal was Melissa Currie Your parents filled with joyful tears Little did we know They would miss your important years One petal was Charlotte Dunn A little girl with a loved filled heart The love would last forever Even though we're far apart One petal was Kevin Hasell Who didn't understand The loss of your presence here So we wrote your name deep in the sand One petal was Ross Irvine Past memories always in our sight But our love will last forever That follows you night by night One petal was David Kerr With love and joyful grace But our love for you Will stay in a special place One petal was Mhairi MacBeath Your beautiful eyes and dark hair Your presence and cheeky smile Flows with the wind across the air One petal was Brett McKinnon You filled our hearts with joy Little did we know that day The angels would call our boy One petal was Abigail McLennan Your eyes shone so bright We hear your laughter in the wind And see your smile at sunrise light One petal was Emily Morton The ringlets in your hair A girl with a heart of gold Your presence is always there One petal was Sophie Lockwood North You didn't understand How the angels came to help you And led you by your hand One petal was John Petrie His laughter fills the room For 5 years you laughed out loud You was taken far too soon One petal was Joanna Ross Your perfect smile, your perfect hair You was perfect in every way With all the love, you gave you shared One petal was Hannah Scott The day that I was told The angels came and chose you Because of your heart of gold One petal was Megan Turner Your eyes shone so bright Your presence fills us with warmth Your laughter echos through out the night We will never forget The stem that held these petals together She held the petals close The stars spell out Gwen Mayor Now, the flower has been blown away So far away yet so near For we'll always remember you The world holds you in their arms and wishes you was still here
