LITTLE BOY BLUE

Poor little boy blue, suffered such a terrible fate 
at the hands of thugs, who were filled with hate
A turf war was to blame, why three shots were fired
And you young lad,was killed outright, expired

Eleven you were,you`d gone to play your favorite game 
a keen Everton supporter, Rhys Jones your name
you loved football, you were at practice that night
dressed in your kit, team colors of blue and white

You  walked home through the car park, of the local pub
shots discharged, and you were hit by the second slug
Your mam got to you,she held you lovingly in her arms 
no mother should witness, her child, be fatally harmed 

Its been ten years now since Rhys Jones has passed 
his mam and dad still hurt in pain, their loss will ever last
Such a senseless killing of an innocent lad,was little boy blue
and his killer just sixteen at the time,now serves his sentence through

This was an horrendous crime of a turf war between gangs where 
Rhys Jones was caught in the line of fire,and was shot and killed 
Currently there is a drama on television here in the UK
 showing the events as it happened In 2007.It is called Little Boy Blue and it is so sad,
 Rhys would be nearly 18 now, ahead of his Birthday his parents
agony is, he will always be 11 to them...
