Flowers By The Grave Poem by Sinclair Azubuike Farrell

She was only 6 years old
The first time she put flowers
By her mum's grave
She hadn't talk since the day
Her dad sat her down
And told her mummy's gone away
It was on the 1st September
When her mum was hit by a stray bullet
From a drive by shooting
As she walked down the street
To pick up her daughter from her aunt's house
Where she played
But as this little girl
Put flowers by her mum's grave
She looked up and asked her dad
When will I see mummy again?
He replied
With tears in his eyes and a lump in his throat
One day sweetheart, one day
As she walked away from her mum's grave
Tears dripped down this little girl's face.
