Stephen Lawrence (September 13, 1974 – April 22, 1993) was a black British teenager living in London, UK, who was murdered in April 1993 at the age of 18.
While waiting at a bus stop with his friend Duwayne Brooks, he was attacked by a group of young white males who on catching sight of them both; screamed; "WHAT? WHAT! NIGGER!" as they charged at him, with one pulling out a knife which was then used to stab Stephen to death. Such attacks had happened previously, but this time widespread publicity attracted national attention that threatened civil disturbances and severely damaged relations between the Afro-Caribbean community, the police and the justice system.

R.I.P Stephen. You didnt deserve to die.

At long last some justice for you and your family. What a frightening world we live in where people of my own colour could take the life of someone like my own children... just because of the colour of their skin. My heart goes out to Doreen and Neville. As parents I cannot begin to imagine what hell they have been through for the last few years. They have conducted themselves with such dignity despite being treated with so little. May justice be completed when the other three killers are convicted and sentenced.
Stephen may you rest in peace in paradise. You will be remember by many, even by those who never knew you x

As i float along the milky way
I arrive at heavens door
And to my suprise theres people
And faces ive seen before

I feel happy and elated
A golden gate opened for me
As i step inside this place
Im amazed by what i see

Theres trees lined with gold
There flowers that never die
And teardrop dont exist
Im so happy, but i cant cry

Theres harps playing softly
And friends that i once knew
Hold out their hand to greet me
In the this land of sky blue

Theres a smell of the flowers
Its like nothing ive smelled before
Theres gold dust about my feet
And a welcome on my garden door

Yes i like this place called heaven
Even though i will miss you so
But i will visit you often
Even though you wont know

And as i thank my father beside me
For opening his golden gates
They toast a wine to greet me
The lord and my new found mates

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...
