Just four months is all it took
To close a tiny story book
In just four months childhood innocence lost
Sick gratification came at what cost?

A little boy, so small, so new
Darkness and evil is all that he knew
A thousand dreams not yet begun
All he wanted was to be someone’s son.

In four months a bond should have grown
An innocent boy finally finding his home
Yet in four months no sweet memories built
A young life destroyed by selfish guilt

They should have been there to wipe little tears
Instead they were the shadows behind all of his fears
A stolen smile, blue eyes so bright
Monsters kept that poor baby awake at night.

Just four short months is all he got
Spending days tormented inside his cot
In those four months he never knew kind
His soul protectors; the very worst of mankind.

In just four months, how many chances were missed?
In just four months, how many concerns dismissed?
In just four months, a baby had no choice but to be brave
In just four months, flowers were placed on his grave.

The first day of Hanukkah
By the sea, candles burning bright
My family’s here, my friends are close
Everything just feels so right.

At Bondi, the community laugh together
Our feet all buried in the sand
The sun is warm and cosy
I have an ice cream in my hand.

Daddy throws my brother into the air
Mummy, she laughs out loud
And just when everything is perfect
A big bang comes from the crowd

The music stops, the sea turns quiet
My little ears, oh how they hurt
Why is everyone running away?
Why is there red on that man’s shirt?

Daddy said today there wouldn’t be fireworks
He said that today is a day of peace
Where did all the happy people go?
Why is the beach surrounded by police?

While I cannot find my family
A lady pushes me to the ground
I’m starting to feel scared now
I don’t like that awful banging sound.

Why is the lady squishing me?
Her body covering mine
Somehow I feel safe beneath her
She says everything will be just fine.

I don’t understand what’s happening
I don’t know what I should do
I just want my family back
And the day I thought I knew.

The nice lady keeps whispering in my ear
Her voice is soft and warm
She reminds me everything will be okay
A lump in her throat begins to form.

I ask her, “can we hide?”
She says, “of course baby, we can”
Now I know where that sound is coming from
Over there - it’s that man.

He’s holding a big long gun
And he just looked over this way
I feel a tear drip upon my head
I ask the nice lady if we should pray.

I count to ten inside my head
While my body trembles with fear
The kind lady covers my little ears
So I no longer have to hear.

Together we lay so still
The minutes feel so very long
I feel her heartbeat in my chest
Like part of a gentle song.

I didn’t know her name at all
She didn’t know mine too
But she kept me safe tonight
Just like family would do.

And there were lots of people like her
Who stayed and didn’t flee
Most people chose to be brave and kind
The way the world should be.

Today I learnt something important
Though it was so very hard and true
That most people are full of kindness
Even when disaster breaks through.

Dear Santa

I’m writing you this letter
Because today’s December first
I know I’m not the best boy
But I don’t think I’m the worst.

I always turn on my listening ears
And I promise I’m never mean
Last year I was good all year long
But you must not have seen.

Because you never came to my house
I really thought you would
I tried my hardest every single day
To be extra special good.

I woke up super early
To see if you had been
Why didn’t you come, Santa?
Is it because our house isn’t clean?

Sometimes it smells funny in our house
I’ll help my Mummy to clean up
I don’t think we have any milk
So I’ll leave a can for you to sup.

Mummy’s boyfriend has lots of cans
And he has a big tummy just like you
When I told him about your letter
He told me that Santa isn’t true.

It’s okay though, Santa
I don’t want lots and lots and lots
Just a small present is enough
Maybe a new pair of socks.

And pretty pretty please
Could I have just one more thing…
A cuddly unicorn for my little sister
One of them ones that can sing.

Last week she lost her favourite teddy
So every day she’s been so sad
We don’t want anything fancy
Not a bike or an iPad.

Charlie and Oscar have an elf at home
He got delivered in a box
He does lots of silly things
He even poured cereal in their blocks!

Some children went on the bus today
While we were doing circle time
They got special tickets to see
A Christmas pantomime.

All my friends wore Christmas jumpers
But Mummy doesn’t have pennies for that
And when we played outside
Mrs Blake let me borrow a spare hat.

Mrs Blake bought me a chocolate calendar
She said it’s specially for me
She lets me open every door
But not to let the other children see.

She says I’m such a good boy
She says I’ve got a heart of gold
I heard her say to Mr Jacobs
That she worries about me being cold.

So I really hope you’ll come this year
Please don’t forget about me
You can put my present under the stairs
Cos we don’t have a Christmas tree.

I love you so much Santa
I hope you get this letter
And don’t forget my little sister
I told you what to get her.

Love from Ben, age 5 x
