Once I Had No Fear And Nothing To Lose. Poem by Ceri Louise Baylis

Once I Had No Fear And Nothing To Lose.



Imagination wild with dreams
and A happy childhood so it seems
From a young age my future was set
Then tragedy and our family met
Dad had taken fate in to his own control
By deciding when to end his life role
It's seen as a selfish act by some
I think he was brave to use that gun
But he left me and mum to fend for ourselves
Hardship soon followed ……a living hell
Wednesday the fifth the day dad chose
It's now thirteen years later when more grief arose
Mum has died suddenly and so quick
She passed away too on, Wednesday the fifth
Is it coincidence or is it fate?
Their deaths have shared the same day and date.
my future is changed now you are both gone
but this life does not stop for me or no one
I must continue I must proceed
Both your guidance and support I need
I don't have a plan, no dreams to chase
I will just leave it up to the hands of fate
I hope that the cards that I'm now dealt
Will make me happy and serve me well
