Arms of Love

Arms Of Love Who was this woman we called mother Who we look at like no other Who was suppose to keep us safe and never, never, hurt us Did she not see our pain that day Did she not hear our cries What did she have to gain by taking away our lives When she closes her eyes at night Does she see our faces Does she look at us in fright and wish she could trade places We are safe now Wrapped up in arms of love and we will never have to be afraid of someone that we love

Thank you all for the comments and welcoming me to this site! This poem is touching and very sad but it speaks the truth. It was a sad day for everyone who saw this on the news and I believe it touched everyone's hearts for those little children who are now better off with their father in heaven and the angels above! God Bless You all
