Daniel Barden

** This poem is in memory of Daniel Barden, one of the children who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Daniel loved to play the drums, ride the waves of the ocean, spend time with his family, and his dream was to be a firefighter when he got older.



Angels play the drums to welcome Daniel.

As he rides the waves of the ocean up to Heaven.



He will wear a firefighter outfit.

So he can put out the flames of the darkness trying to get into Heaven.



At the end of the night he will be spending time with his family and friends.

Spreading his warmth to everyone.
