Camden New Journal - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 21 August 2008
 
From the core of her soul, a mother’s words to her murdered son

• A POEM written by Sally Jayne Brown about the death of her son Elliot Guy, who was murdered in Junction Road, Tufnell Park, on Saturday July 19.

Elliot my son, this comes not from the heart,
But the very core of my soul, where we can never part.
I can feel your presence son, you are always with me,
The loving bond we share will always be.

Almighty God on high, Jahovah who is love,
Take care of my Elliot, now your angels took him above,
His constant smile lights up the room wherever he may be,
His sense of love and justice and sweet sweet harmony.

I picked up a book yesterday with four angels on the cover,
When I opened it up Yes Elbo: you know what I did discover
“May you fill this book with happy thoughts and wise words Mum, Lots of Love Elbo XX”

Each page depicting an angel, as you know how much I love to write,
This was one of the many gifts you gave me that were just right.
Eleanor your daughter, born on my birthday,
The most precious gift of love, what more can I say.
God willing, together we'll blow out candles
Like the ones being lit for you today,
To guide you to the light of love, where Jah awaits you.

Jah works Elliot, I know I have to be strong,
Inspired by words you wrote to me
Happy wise words all along.

I'm not going to say goodbye, cos that could never be,
I just want the world to know you mean the world to me.
Elliot whose name means Jahovah is my God,
Blessed all of us who knew him, because he was so good.

You are so loved by so many, but then this we always
knew,
Now God has you with him and so many will feel blue,
That's not what you would have wanted, you so loved a happy atmosphere,
So please family, friends and well-wishers,
No more sorrys, no more tears.
Lift a toast to that star above and say ELLIOT CHEERS
