Poem Title:
Poem
Just a day “Good Night Mom and Dad” I said before I went to bed. “We love you” they said as they closed the door Mom comes in and wakes me up “Time to go to school” as my feet hit the floor I got dressed and ate breakfast and got my book bag and now we are on the go We sit in the car listening to music “It’s Friday I think I’m a little excited tho “Alright baby we here” as mom open the door to let me get out She closed the door and kissed me on the head told me she loved me before she pulled off Another day of school and it close to Christmas I can’t wait to see Ashley and Alexus, today is show and tell as I said in a whisper We had learning center day and Boy! Was it fun! Today was a free day and on Friday there isn’t much to learn The room was quite when the was a knock at the door, the door opened A man with a big gun was standing there; my classmates panicked and started to run I heard a lot of noises and a lot of screams I felt a sharp pain in my back as I dropped to my knees In the distant I heard more screams and then everything went silent Then I closed my eyes it went dark and on the cold floor I was dying The other side It’s Thursday night and off to bed we go I kiss my 5 year old son Jaden and told him I loved him so Alarm clock goes off and it’s around 6:15 in the morning I shower got dress and woke up Jaden my little darling Its Friday, I fixed him breakfast and we headed out for the this last day until the weekend I enjoyed our little drives to school as we sat in the car singing I opened the door to let him out once more Kissed him on the head and told him I loved him ill pick him up around four I’m at work drinking coffee just talked to my husband on the phone Got at my desk started to work and the my office phone rung It’s about 9:30 and it was Jaden’s school I got the news he was dead and I started to puke I’m crying uncontrollably don’t know my next move My son is dead, I can’t believe this news I hurried to the school in the best of my ability I saw the school surrounded by medics, reporters, and police I ran to a officer and demanded to see my son He said “I’m sorry ma’am” I can’t do this at this time At 9:32 my one and only son Jaden was pronounced dead The shooter was 20 and took my son’s life in his own hands The questions continue to flow through my head as I search for answers I don’t need answers I need my son and his laughter I am now sitting on his bed trying to swallow tears My husband holds me close as reality nears My little boy is gone among the other 19 kids Heaven has 20 new angels now I hope he knew how much I love him as much as I did R.I.P (To the innocent lives that were lost in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting) 12-14-12
