My Heart Aches

My heart aches and breaks for innocent lives shed
Darkness is running rampant throughout our land
Lives were lost; the classroom was covered in red 
My heart aches and breaks for innocent lives shed
Our nation is not the same cause our children bled
Those kids was all our kids, we must take a stand
My heart aches and breaks for innocent lives shed
Darkness is running rampant throughout our land

Dear Alexis, my heart is aching too. Our world is spiraling down a path that is leading to destruction. So sad. All we can do is continue to pray and be there for those in need. Your thoughts caress gently around me. Hugs, Brandy

My heart scarred when I saw the pictures of those kids on social media. Do they deserve a death of this kind? Where are we going?

What annoys me Alexis is it's not the first time, how many more innocent children have to die before action is taken. Tom

I too felt so heart broken when I heard this sad news. Blooms nipped in bud... ! What did those innocents do to deserve such a fate....? When classrooms become slaughter houses, where can they seek shelter....? I join with your strong feelings of grief, Alexis, expressed in this heart rending poem....
