MY GUARDIAN ANGEL... PAULY This I wrote after my friend Pauly was murdered...I was living in Alice Springs, NT at the time...He was like a big bro to me when I was kicked out of home at 15 years of age and looked after me at all times...That was back in 1975...On February 28th, 1989 in Queanbeyan, ACT (Australia Capital Territory), he was attacked by his new room-mate of one week...He was stabbed more than two dozen times in the stomach, arms and legs and left partially disembowelled on his bathroom floor...he was still alive for at least 24 hours after and was not found until three days later... ~IN MEMORY OF PAUL~ So deep and dark the night skies seem... A velvet black...with a silent theme. Splashed about are stars so bright... Serene and peaceful...are the "Eye's Of Light". Ohhhhh...Why is life on earth ...so cruel???!!! Why do people...break some simple rule???!!! Why do loved ones...have to suffer so???!!! Why do some...like to see blood flow???!!! My heart dear God...it hurts so much... My Pauly is gone...never again to touch. So special he was...from the time we met... My "Guardian Angel"...was the image he set. He was a friend so loving...a friend so true... Watched out for me...like a big brother would do... So much we went through...in our times together... A bond was then formed...to last us forever. Years flew by...and made us both older... But still he was there...with his good ol' shoulder. My Pauly's life was never rich...nor high... But what he gave...no money could buy. He'd make me laugh...at the things he did... So sweet and funny...just like a big kid... Even when things would get him down... He'd still try and act...like a corny ol' clown. As a candle that burns...will gradually die... So too our lives are slipping on by... Pauly's life...was not left to burn out... Instead...a wolf pounced...and tore him about. The savage beast wolf...then ran away... Leaving behind Paul...right there where he lay... Yes...laying in agony...on his crimson bed... Our Lord then came...to rest his sweet head. At sleep and in peace...now that you rest... Your still remembered...as one of the best... One day soon...death too shall take me... But we'll meet again...just wait and see!!! The heavens give off...a feeling of security... By letting us see...all it's glory and purity... There in it's midst...dwells our God and Father... Offering us a new life...which many would rather. Soft winds blow...thin clouds of steam... So deep and dark...the night skies seem... A velvet black...with a silent theme... Splashed about...are stars so bright... Serene and peaceful...are the "Eyes of Light"... And for you dear Pauly...I'll pray with might. Written March 1989. My dearest Pauly...I havent forgotten you...as you would surely know... Nor the thought of how fate...hit you such a terrible blow... I just come along by...to say hi to you sweet bro... And to freshen up your page...so that you wont eternally go... I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU PAULY YOUR FOREVER IN MY HEART BABE Last updated July 4th, 2000.
