As On the Ground Their Tears Are Laid
When terror strikes, and people killed
All hearts are turned, and purpose willed
A need to let the families know
We weep, we care, we love them so!
With teddy bears, and flowers bound
And candles lit, sit all around
The piles build up, a tribute made
As on the ground their tears are laid.
Another way to show you care
If you can’t travel, or be there
Reach out in your community
Kneel, say a prayer for unity.
Go out, and smile to all you meet
With open heart, and soul, to greet!
