Lullaby

Cuddle into me tonight, Close your eyes and take flight. Rest your head, It’s time for bed. Sighing deep, love complete. Whispering you’re not alone, Nestled safely in your home. The need to write and not forget. Love is here, Hold me near. By Felicity Fox

13 Lowfield Road

Etched in my memory is 13 Lowfield Road. Too young to understand or judge, writing to you I sent my letters. Kept in your pocket one after another, and I kept writing. On the day you died one arrived, but you will never know. Rolling your ciggies, sitting close, sneaking out of mass for a

When I’m not there

It’s not the badge that you wear, Nor the scroll that you hold, It’s calling him a star, It’s who you are. It’s the time that you give, The love that you bring, The heart that you show, The pain that you hide. It’s every day that you’re there, It’s his eyes at your name,

In his hand he held my heart

My Everything

Shining bright you are a sparkler in the night, Watching on, I glimpse into your childhood tonight. Bright you are, Loved are you, You are my everything. Will you remember how we watched the night sky? Or how you radiate in my arms. My son, I will know. And when the time comes for you

Hello World

Hello World I want time to stand still, I want the world to know, I’m waiting for love and you’ve yet to show. Wrapped in a blanket, safe in my arms, this is how I imagine you. From the first cry, love has arrived. Skin to skin and we begin, My child and I. Original

Rose-Lilly by Felicity Fox

Rose-Lilly Some babies have no names, Rose-Lilly. Some don’t make it, others are willed to live. I want to put you under a tree, looking up a heaven. There’s no place to mark your passing. No one knows your name. No heartbeat, no more. No expectation, no due date. And every now and then I

Marks on the Wall by Felicity Fox

Marks on the Wall She’s a Million miles away, Destruction and beauty captured. Art and frustration as raw as the burnt ground. No one’s taking note, No one’s listening. Fenced in, she leaves her mark on the wall where others have been. Void from any use, in this World. Apart from the sketches, where will
