Mum's heartbreaking poem for slain son
The mother of a teenage boy stabbed to death in Manchester, in the UK, has penned a moving tribute to her son, highlighting the heartbreaking loss of potential after his life was cut cruelly short.
Aged 15, Kyron was attacked at 7pm on Tuesday October 17. Incredibly, paramedics happened to be passing by and immediately rushed him to hospital.
He was in critical condition for several days, but tragically died on the following Friday afternoon.
Police have since charged two boys aged 16 and 17 with his murder.
Kyron's family has paid moving tribute in his memory, with his mother detailing his life from babyhood in a heartbreaking poem.
She described him as a boy with "endless talents" who reached childhood milestones early.
She also revealed his father "broke down" as he said goodbye to his son and that Kyron's death would leave a "void of pain" in their lives.
Here is Kyron’s mother’s tribute in full:
I touched my belly overwhelmed as life kicked inside me.
My smile shone bright as I weighed up the possibilities.
What would you look like, what type of man would you be.
What gifts and qualities would you bare, would you look like me.
Then you came into the world a strong fighting warrior.
Strong and valiant, beautiful oh what an honour
I felt the moment I looked in your eyes, your smile showed you recognised me.
My guardian of my heart I was your mummy.
At 8 months you walked, you spoke before one.
While your friends still crawled you decided to run.
You were blessed with wisdom, on the gifted and talented register you were placed.
You were artistic, a singing voice like an angel and yes you had my face.
Your talents were endless, what you touched turned to gold.
Your deepest ambition to become an architect you told.
Your heart was big, my protector my friend.
You had a strength that prevailed to the end.
You were a brother, a cousin, a nephew, a grandson, friend and so much more.
You had endless potential that everyone saw.
You did give trouble but your grades were high.
Your potential was great, you had the strength to fly.
During this investigation so much will be said, but I will remember 15 years you were my baby instead.
I love you sweetie it’s time to fly. Your daddies love will carry you by.
Forgive me you hated to see me cry.
Your dad broke down as he said goodbye.
We were united in love, the three of us forever.
As a unit we remain forever and ever.
Your departure has left a hole, a void, a pain.
May his peace be with you till we meet again.
