Daniel

A little lad I never knew
Born to a life of hell
This busy fat world just went on
And the watchers did not tell.

You were starved of love
And rifled bins for food
Your own mother broke your arm
Then silenced you for good.

Did no one see the bruises?
Or note your half age weight?
You were tortured daily but
It was noticed when far too late.

Oh my heavens how I weep
For it always is the same 
You lived - you died - we never met
But I feel I am to blame.



Daniel Pelka, died March 2012, aged 4

Funeral

Do not mourn my passing
For I'm in a better place
My pain is gone, my spirit's free
And the sun is on my face.

Do not cry at my grave site
Only my body is there (or only my ashes are there)
I've taken the path of eternal rest
And my soul can now repair.

Do not weep when thinking of me
I know you were on my side
We must all make this journey
And after all - 
I have only died.
