A fun loving young boy
Lost to the world
Life passed him by
Into death he was hurled
They switched off the machines
Providing his air
He had run out of time
12myths were spoken o
A muddle a mire
Innocence lost in the heat
Of the fire
raging around him
His body they tossed
Unfallen and saintly
Yes Little boy lost
He fought as an Angel fights
Quietly, alone
His family around him
Clearly he had known
He saw them he felt them
He knew they were there
His purity sparkled
Wide-eyed and aware.
