Lil Angels

Lil Angels" By MrsJackson


 They wake up
 To brush their little teeth
 Put on their clothes 
 To end a long week
 Thank God It's Friday 
 The little ones say
 Backpacks ready 
 And sent on their way 
 For them
 It's just another school day 
 Laughin'.... Playin'.... 
 But then the unknown 
 Tragedy strikes 
 A man with a gun 
 A selfish mission 
 In a blink of an eye
 Lives are taken
 The Question Remains 
"Why?" 
 Innocent little children 
 Clueless
 No time to think
 Smiles changing to fear
 Oh.... The tears 
 Our babies 
 Becoming Angels
