animated presentation of the words "Never Again!"

Can I Go Now?

Mummy, can I go now?
Heaven's waiting for my soul!
But there still seems to be a problem,
They say they need me whole!

I have told them that you loved me,
And protected me from harm!
But something does not seem quite right,
Everything is far from Calm.

When I see you mummy,
There are tears in your eyes.
I hear you asking questions,
If necessary you must SHOUT!

It can't be right what happened,
It must never happen again!
We should be left to rest in peace,
Not pieces soaked with pain.

I know you always loved me,
You could not have done more.
It is that warm and glowing feeling,
That makes my spirit soar.

Mummy, can I go now?
Heaven's waiting for my soul!
But there still seems to be a problem,
They say they need me whole!

Martin and Michelle Carter
