Will the Tears Ever Stop

Will The Tears Ever stop? Mothers and fathers bow With a heart that is crying Their children and love ones Caught up and dying A child goes away to get An education Not knowing through that day Will arise a great awaking The enemy approaches fast To take what is not his A mother holds her child With her eyes fill with tears How did this happen Words I cannot say Our love ones leave home And their tomorrow ends today Will the tears ever stop? Because someone didn’t care To raise a gun, pull the trigger And leave a lifeless body there What can we do, to make Our surrounding safe Is this an issue or may be Even a debate Mothers and fathers crying And asking why Who brought forth this raged And kissed our kids good bye An empty room, an empty chair An empty heart for a child who We wished was there Babies are precious and Who dare take their life Who placed an empty hole In a parent heart at night The children are missed Their family loves them a lot So when will this end, and Will the tears ever stop?

The tears will never stop... because, sadly, the unlimited availability of guns will never be stopped... Good poem... Terry

I am so sad, I am so hurt, I feel so bad. I try to understand this but there is apparently no understanding, right now. There is no excuse to take a life, an innocent life, a child life. I am left without many words today. Thank you so much for viewing this poem. I appreciate you stopping by today. May God bless you always. "IN TEARS"
