THE deaths of 22 people in the Manchester Arena terror attack has sent shockwaves around the world. 

In Bury, Bolton and beyond, well-wishers have been sending their messages of support to the families affected.

Olivia Campbell-Hardy, aged 15, from Bury, was one of those tragically killed in Monday’s atrocity.

The talented singer attended Tottington High School and a parent of one her classmates felt moved to write a special poem.

Tara Lomax, mum to 15-year-old Robert Tapping, said: “I wrote a poem about Olivia and her mum.

“My son grew up with Olivia at Tottington primary and Tottington high. He sat behind her in maths.”

Poem for Olivia Campbell-Hardy by Tara Lomax

The Bolton News:

I wanted to write something 

To show you that we care

We have our sons and daughters

But Olivia's no longer there 

I feel your pain I feel your sorrow 

I just don't know how ,you'll get through tomorrow 

These words I write from my soul

I know will never fill that hole

My son he sits behind an empty chair 

Where Olivia sat and brushed her hair

His view in maths has changed so much

His eyes are shut he cannot look

That class for him will never be the same 

For boys and girls that feel the pain 

Life goes on but you're still there 

Stuck in a state that seems unfair

But believe me from mum to mum

The sun will shine that day will come

It takes time and it takes tears

Whilst we all live in fear

And Olivia will be up there shouting out

Mum live your life like I'm about 

For one day you will be together

Every time you see that white feather

We are here for you we feel your pain

Alone you'll never be again 

From a mum to a mum xx
