For a Child

For a Child

for you,

although there

may be

few tomorrows ..

I swear,

I shall try to live

every single

one of them on

your behalf ..

and tho’ I refuse

to mention

you here in name,

today I do

solemnly swear

it shall be

remembered

and recited in my

head and our

hearts, in songs

and in poetry

for ever and always ..

Heartbreaking tribute Neville. And that is all I can comment knowing some of the pain.

Many massive thanks our Ken .. Neville 😎👍

This write is a heart wrencher Neville. It reads almost like a quiet prayer. It weighs heavy with its sadness. Bless her heart and all others too who find themselves in this tragedy. Happy to support such a worthy charity.

[Thomas W Case]

Quiet, devoted, and heavy with promise—love carrying on where time may not.
There’s grit in the vow, a soft ache that refuses to let go.

my little seven year old niece Amelie who is now on her 6th brain tumour was my main inspiration Thomas .. so thanks for feeling it my way .. Neville
