Humbolt Tragedy

Their game was over and they got on the bus With the usual teenage chatter and fuss. Driving down the highway with never a care Not a one saw the angels riding there. Fifteen angels were collecting souls Much as these hockey players collected goals Fifteen angels more to protect the ones Whose time down here still wasn’t done. Canada mourns the loss of these young men Their families are grieving for these young men. Those of us left don't know what to say So we fall to our knees and humbly we pray. We pray for healing for the families who mourn We pray that you see the rose in the thorns. This loss is not yours all alone to bear We’re here as a country to show you we care. Those kids, when they passed were never alone God sent down his angels to take them home. Prayers for Humbolt April 11, 2018 D H Loewen All Rights Reserved
