Bloody Morning

A big explosion near the docks A terrible tragedy by all accounts Many gone, many left in tears The reporters tell us this story today We absorb the impact and get on with our lives But some lives have been snuffed out Let the crystal snowflakes come and cover the scene of the crime Nature's white blanket will let us forget The loves of the lost will feel pain but that will fade with the new year Heartache is the order of the day But tomorrow the snow shall ease the pain Let's find healing in nature's gifts It's the one chance we have for happiness and freedom
