William was killed in May 2007 aged 8. His mother Louise wrote this poem: This isn’t right, my son is gone It makes no sense, it must be wrong. You know the one, the blondy guy Toothy grin and gorgeous smile. I watched him grow, to nearly nine A handsome dude, so very fine. He can’t come back, he never will My heart is broken, and time’s stood still. I yearn to hold him, to touch his face But in his bed an empty space. At dinner time, just four plates The dog so sad, just sits and waits. My life’s so empty and full of pain And every day it’s there again. I know that one day, when my work here’s done We’ll meet again and we’ll be one. I’ll take his hand, I’ll kiss his face And he’ll lead me to a better place
