Flowers On A Lamp Post Poem by Malcolm Bradshaw

Flowers on a lamp post
A loving display
Tributes to a loved one
Whose life was taken away?

Why did it happen?
For it’s tearing me apart
The pain that I am feeling
It’s breaking my heart

I keep on thinking if only
These things are within my head
If only they had been somewhere else
They would still be alive not dead

Oh God where were you
When your help was needed most
If you had been with them
No flowers would be on the post

My child of the material
I sense and feel your pain
I have not failed you
For you will see them once again

I was with them when they needed me
I took them by the hand
I surrounded them with love and light
As we moved to the Summerland

Fear not for there safety
For there love for you will remain
For the bond of love is strongest
As they comfort you through your pain

When you look at the tributes
That you placed upon the post
Remember I was with them
When they needed me the most
