Moroccan Pain

He died alone at the bottom of a well
and he was only 5
many folk dug day and night
to bring him up alive.

But he was dead at the bottom
injured as he fell
what fears he knew in his little mind
no-one alive can tell.

Imagine the feelings of those rescuers then
angry, frustrated and sad
who fought so hard to get him out
and return him to his mum and dad.

Farewell sweet lad your terrors and fright
are now all gone and past
I hope you are now in a better place
and know your happiness at last.


Rayan Oram, aged 5 died 8/2/22 RIP

Here and Now

We must enjoy the future
The times we have had have gone
There's more life behind us now
Than is left as we go on.

The only reason to be alive
Is to make the good times last
Just look forward to more happiness
And not be a hostage to the past.

We got things wrong sometimes 
But we survived and got to here
We sorted the bad bits from the good
And know what to cherish or fear.

So enjoy every little thing you do
Savor the moments as they arise
Smell the flowers and hear the birds
Accept that life is a beautiful prize.
