Friday 23 March 2012: C the Empty Swing
Empty swings
A memory
Of children's laughter
Their grandad
A presence
Filling the room
Taken so early
Too soon
A loss
Felt by his world
Its ripples
Spread today
The C word
Indiscriminate
Takes any
Takes too many
No thought
No remorse
Its Victims
Missed
So desperately
Loneliness
Life stopped
Like empty swings
