The Weeping Nation

(12/15/12) As the nation weeps today for the twenty Angels which were taken away We also weep for their families and friends For this pain will never end. Sitting in their classrooms with thoughts And hopes and dreams of the holidays In came a sick person to wipe their dreams away. We will never know what went thru his mind that day To take away innocent lives in such a brutal way. It is true that god has given us free will But why go to a school and these children he kills. Let us not forget the adults also who gave Their lives trying to protect the children On this day -For them also we do pray. Tears fill my eyes and pains fill my heart And their names , ages, or genders We may not know or remember But to them our hearts and love We do surrender. So fly my little cherubs, and take the angels hands For you are going to gods promised land Where there is no suffering, wars or pain And gods love is the what remains. (12/14/12)
