New Year’s Eve Tragedy

New Year’s Eve Tragedy

Heart-wrenching anguish, aching pain,
A grandfather’s sorrow, his soul in strain,
Learning at midnight, the news so grim,
A grandson lost, his light now dim.

Primrose Hill exploding with cheer,
Fireworks alighting, a joyous atmosphere,
But for this family, a night to dread,
A future vanished, love torn thread.

The schoolboy, vibrant, full of life,
In the blink of an eye, taken by strife,
Dreams left unspoken, laughter unwound,
A void in their hearts, a silence profound.

Days pass like shadows, a daze they dwell,
The pain unyielding, a tale to tell,
Memories flood, tears stream down,
Their hearts shattered, forever to frown.

Grandfather’s love, a beacon of care,
Now aching with loss, burdened with despair,
In the depths of his sorrow, he searches for strength,
To honor his grandson, in memory’s length.

As time holds its breath, they gather as one,
Bearing the weight of what can’t be undone,
In unity they stand, resilience they find,
Bound by love, forever entwined.
