Subject: Request for help from my poetic friends

My little boy, Benjamin, who is 5 had some sad news today. His friend Joanne, who is a little younger than him, died early this morning following heart surgery.

He has asked me to write some poems for him to give to Joanne's mum to give her comfort and perhaps remember happier times. He knows I have done this when pupils at my school have died and I have worked with the students and presented an anthology of memories to pass on to the parents. However, maybe because I am too close in this case, I am strugging and don't want to sound cliche or hallmark but want to give him something that will provide comfort and perhaps help her parents to smile in the future.

If anybody is able to write something appropriate for him to pass on or share some ideas with me to unblock my inspiration, I would be most grateful if you could either post on Unicorn or email me at Raphaela35@hotmail.com.

Thank you for your time.



Raphaela
