Peace Be With You Little Ones

Peace be with you little ones,
As you make your journey home,
So early in the day it seems,
To come upon your lives’ sweet gloam.

Peace be with you little ones,
Your smiles brightened up the earth,
And though we might no longer see,
They still in heaven spread their mirth.

Peace be with you little ones,
And those who would your guardians be,
There should be no cost put on lives,
So easily lost in tragedy.

Peace be with you little ones,
As you make your journey home,
So early in the day it seems,
To come upon your lives’ sweet gloam.

For the children and adults who lost their lives in Newtown Connecticut

Fantastic thought to these little precious lives, and a stupendous tribute to them... May their peace be, the heir of angels who teach us that we need to stand and protect the innocence of havoc in this corrupted world we live... And may we pray for all family's who where effected by this tragedy all my best wishes Carma

You have penned a beautiful and thoughtful memorable tribute to those victims of 12-14-12. I expect we will see more poems as time goes by.. Unfortunately these events produce emotions that are easy to write about. Thanks for sharing.
