      Just thought I'd share this with you all, its the most beautiful poem I have read it brought tears to my eyes.  Written by a supporter on another forum.

          A schoolboy holds a leather ball
          in a photograph on a bedroom wall
          the bed is made, the curtains drawn
          as silence greets the break of dawn.

          The dusk gives way to morning light
          revealing shades of red and white,
          which hang from posters locked in time
          of the Liverpool team of 89.

          Upon a pale white quilted sheet
          a football kit is folded neat
          with a yellow scarf, trimmed with red
          and some football boots beside the bed.

          In hope, the room awakes each day
          to see the boy who used to play
          but once again it wakes alone
          for this young boy’s not coming home.

          Outside, the springtime fills the air
          the smell of life is everywhere
          viola’s bloom and tulips grow
          while daffodils dance heel to toe.

          These should have been such special times
          for a boy who’d now be in his prime
          but spring forever turned to grey
          in the Yorkshire sun, one April day.

          The clock was locked on 3.06
          as sun shone down upon the pitch
          lighting up faces etched in pain
          as death descended on Leppings Lane.

          Between the bars an arm is raised
          amidst a human tidal wave
          a young hand yearning to be saved
          grows weak inside this deathly cage.

          A boy not barely in his teens
          is lost amongst the dying screams
          a body too frail to fight for breath
          is drowned below a sea of death

          His outstretched arm then disappears
          to signal thirteen years of tears
          as 96 souls of those who fell
          await the toll of the justice bell.

          Ever since that disastrous day
          a vision often comes my way
          I reach and grab his outstretched arm
          then pull him up away from harm.

          We both embrace with tear-filled eyes
          I then awake to realise
          it’s the same old dream I have each week
          as I quietly cry myself to sleep.

          On April the 15th every year
          when all is calm and skies are clear
          beneath a glowing Yorkshire moon
          a lone Scots piper plays a tune.

          The tune rings out the justice cause
          then blows due west across the moors
          it passes by the eternal flame
          then engulfs a young boys picture frame.

          His room is as it was that day
          for thirteen years it’s stayed that way
          untouched and frozen forever in time
          since that tragic day in 89.

          And as it plays its haunting sound
          tears are heard from miles around
          they’re tears from families of those who fell
          awaiting the toll of the justice bell.

      You'll Never Walk Alone.

      To all the friends and family of the loved ones that died that day, and those who still suffer because of the events of 19 years ago today.

      We will never forget and we will never give up.  Justice for the 96.

      Another solemn day of remembrance is upon us and I just want to send out my heartfelt wishes to the family and friends of the 96 from all reds this side of the water. One day justice will be found, gone but never forgotten.

      I'd ask anyone who'll be at Anfield today to please say a prayer on my behalf, I'll be thinking of it all at 3:06

      God rest the souls of the fans that were taken away from us,
      for every game we win, lose or draw never let the memory fade,
      for 96 brave fans will be remembered forever,
      and never should their story go untold.

      You'll Never Walk Alone I say as I think of that sad day
      when life's were lost and and families torn,
      but they remain immortal in our hearts,
      beyond our dying day.

      Rest In Peace:
