He paced in circles not knowing what to do
just being told really awful news.
His wife and son both killed in a plane crash
this was impossible to take in!
As he waited heard it was a terrorist attack
within the hour were due back.
Looking up at the arrival board an empty space
where the time had just been.
Not enough money for the three to go together
recently being made redundant.
Waving as he watched them get onto the plane
heading back to catch the train.
There were no survivors on that long haul flight
surrounded now by others grieving!
Made even worse as the tragedy was no accident
his grief a rising emotion.
Waiting with others for news and the liaison team
tears flowed like a mountain stream.
On his mobile phone listened to his wife’s voice
it was a message she’d left.
Excitedly telling him they’d be back soon
if only he had heard it ring.
She was only thirty-two their son just four
but he would see them no more!
Surprised how many families had now gathered
each with the same expression.
Lives had been changed generations obliterated
a vacuum made by a few!
He could not understand the terrorists cold act
there was no answer.
All he knew his world had completely changed
his families funerals to be arranged!
My beloved wife and son rest in peace.
