Today we talked about Christmas
and saw a Liverpool match on T.V.
While we tried not to let these things hurt,
Because that’s life for my family and me.
Yesterday I saw a red car
And friends of his walked by.
I also heard his favourite song.
And Robert asked when horse would die.
We must always count the dinner plates
And number of seats in the car.
We must constantly watch our words
Because pain is never far.
There are more red things in my life now
Than back when Aaron was alive.
I didn’t do that on purpose
The colour just seems to thrive.
And if he was still here
I'd share a Spanish teacher with him.
And still see jam on table clothes.
And porridge bowls filled to the brim.
I wear a red heart around my neck
And a blue one for me.
The green one’s on its way in the mail
To represent child number three.
I still use Viber to talk to people
But there’s no annoying messages to see.
And I always see boys with bright curly hair,
Whenever I feel lonely.
My runners look like the ones we bought him
Just before he died.
And dinner tomorrow would have been his favourite.
Something spicy, slow roasted, not dried.
Today we talked about Christmas
And watched a Liverpool match on T.V.
And because these were once happy times,
They will now never be pain free.
