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 it will fade 
with the new year
   Heartache is the order 
         of the day
But tomorrow morning will come
to ease the pain
     Let's find healing 
          in nature's gifts
      It's the one chance 
   we have
for happiness and freedom
