Far Better Life

A New Life (Especially for Tom and Marg Smicklas) Those poor kids who were at Columbine; What if one had been my very mine; Felt it in music Symphony just played Thoughts and emotions they displayed. The more of the music that I had heard It reminded me of each and every word Lincoln read at the Gettysburg Address About sadness to God we did confess. Soldiers charging bravely into battlefield Full of strength and not wanting to yield Against a brother action may have been, Who he shall no longer ever see again. Those students and soldiers who did die Over and over for them continually cry As they all soon heaven will enter in A far better life they will all begin. Shrouded sadness slowly passes away; Still pray for them each night and day We here on earth much pain must bare Thinking of those high in heaven up there James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
