Rhys Jones

For Rhys Jones

Its so sad that you was taken from this world in such a violent way.

Now you are in Heaven, God will give you a new footy kit and brand new footy boots that will never wear out.

Rest In Peace Mate

an ode to rhys: the boy i never met

'I simply gaze at a photograph,
one thats often on tv
your young and smiling face
is looking back at me

i never knew you here on earth,
our paths have never crossed
a life cut short by mindless thugs,
another young life lost

Your mum and dad are aching so,
their eyes are full of tears
you filled their life with happiness
for the past 11 years

go play among the playground
where the angels push the swings
then sit amongst the stars at night
and think of happy things

I hope something gets done this time,
with the violence on the street
before another playmate joins you,
another i didnt meet.

god bless you rhys and your family
my thoughts are with you all
i pray your death is not in vain
but a government wake up call

one day i'll climb those stairs
and sit with you on heavens street
and then i'll smile back at
the young boy i didnt meet.


Goodnight & God Bless xx

Why

To all of Rhys family God bless you, I hope all these messages can give you some comfort, even though we never met him your lovely son will never be forgotten by any of us. The decent people of this country have had enough we must never let this happen again these evil scum that roam our streets with no fear of the law must be erased from our country send them all and there so called families to Baghdad and leave them their. God I am so angry, how must your family be feeling I can't comprehend.

R.I.P

HIYA RHYS.
YOU ARE SOO GORGEOUS AND YOU SEEM LIKE ONE OF THE MOST KINDEST LADS IN THE WORLD.
BUT SOMEONE HAS TAKEN YOU AWAY FROM US AND NOW YOUR CITY IS IN GRIEF.
NO ONE CAN BELIEVE WHATS HAPPENED MATE.
ONE QUESTION ALOT OF PEOPLE ASK IS WHY?
IM SIXTEEN AND IM SCARED OF MY OWN CITY AND THE AREA I LIVE IN NOW.
I DONT KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I STEP OUT THE DOOR.
SEE WHAT GETS TO ME IS..
THESE GANGS OF LADS WHO ARE CALLING THEMSELVES STUPID PATHETIC NAMES LIKE THE STRAND GANG THINK THEY ARE 'BIG' AND 'HARD' BECAUSE THEY CAN SHOOT A GUN, TO ME THEY ARE JUST SHIT HOUSES, IF THEY WERE SOO BIG THEYD FIGHT WITH THEIR HANDS.
THERE IS TWO FOOTBALL STADIUMS NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER. TWO DIFFERENT KIT COLOURS. TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS. DIFFERENT SUPPORTS. BUT THERE IS NO FIGHTING, NO KILLING NO TROUBLE. JUST A GAME THAT MOST PEOPLE LOVE TO WATCH.
AND THEN THERE IS THESE GANGS OF LADS WANTING TO FIGHT OVER WERE THEY LIVE, THEY THINK THAT CROXTETH IS BETTER THEAN NORRIS GREEN OR VICE VERSA ARE THEY SERIOUS?
LIVES ARE MORE PRECIOUS THEN A STREET NAME OR POSTCODE. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU ARE FROM WALTON OR ANFIELD. BOOTLE OR TOXTETH. WE ARE ALL THE SAME.

YOU SEEMED SUCH A NICE LAD WITH A HEART OF GOLD BUT OF COURSE YOU HEART WAS BLUE.
YOU DIDNT DESERVE TO HAVE YOU LIFE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU BY SOME TEENAGER ON A BMX BIKE ON YOU WAY HOME FROM PLAYING THE GAME YOU LOVED.
NO BODY DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR LIFE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BY ANYONE.

YOU HAD YOUR LIFE AT YOUR FEET AND THEY TOOK IT FROM UNDER YOU, BUT YOU WILL LIVE ON IN EVERYBODYS HEARTS AND MINDS. NO ONE WILL FORGET YOUR NAME.
YOU WILL BE KNOWN FOREVER. EVERYONE IS PRAYING FOR YOU MATE. AND I DONT THINK THEY WILL EVER STOP.

THINGS HAVE GONE TOO FAR. AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. EVEN I CAN SEE THAT AND IM 16 EVEN MY SISTER CAN SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND SHE IS 7.
IT MAKES ME THINK ALOT NOW WHEN MY SISTER IS OUT PLAYING IN THE STREET WITH HER MATES IM CONSTANTLY LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW CHECKING SHES OKAY.

MATE I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU BTU EVERY MORNING SINCE WEDNESDAY I HAVE WATCHED TEH NEWES AND READ THE PAPERS JUST TO READ ABOUT YOU AND SEE WHATS GOING ON. YOUR A GREAT LAD. YOUR PARENTS ARE SO PROUD OF YOU.

I CANT EVEN THINK OF WHAT ELSE TO SAY BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MATE.

BUT GOD BLESS YOU SLEEP TIGHT BABE.
SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS AND KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR MUM AND DAD AND OWEN.
THEY NEED YOU TO BE STRONG ANS WATCH OVER THEM


GOODNIGHT MATE.
SEE YOU SOON

Condolences to mam and dad but dont forget siblings. They are often left to get on with it, always being left out . They to have feelings and it is so hard for them to cope. God send comfort to all of you. xxxxx
