He left home this morning
With his hoodie keeping him warm
Saying goodbye to his mama
And continuing on out the door
He sat down at his favorite desk
Where he could hear the best
And began to flip through the pages
Of an amazing book he’s found
That’s when the silence turned around
And shrieks of excitement began to sound
There were shooters inside the school
Evidently, no one knew….
His last day on this earth was normal
Here one moment, gone the next
Why did he have to die so young?
Only God has the answers to this one.
His mama remembers that morning
Now it is chiseled on her weary mind
A simple gesture, a kiss on the cheek
Was the last time she would feel his love
