Mary Sherlach

** This poem is in memory of Mary Sherlach, one of the teachers who died in the Sandy Hook Shooting. Mary shielded children from the gunman. Mary loved teaching and helping people.



Mary blows off the darkness like a child blowing off the seeds of a dandelion.

In Heaven she will help blow off the world's darkness.

By having help from some beautiful little angels.



They will all blow off the seeds of dandelions.

Putting each of their amazing love into a light.

That can be turned on by the power of a special switch,

PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
