Roseburg, Oregon

This poem is dedicated to heroes who were killed in Roseburg, Oregon just because they were Christians. Today you left this world... Today you stood the test... Deny Christ and live, proclaim Him and face the death... You didn't have time to say goodbye... Your last word was firmly "YES" You wouldn't hug your son or daughter but you will meet your God... Roseburg, Oregon is crying... Today mothers lost their children... Fathers sitting silent, friends are weeping... They stood the test until the end and now they are in heaven... Oh please, don't cry my friend... Soon will be there with God forever... Eva Rakhuba 10/02/2015

Your emotional poem is extremely touching, overwhelming sadness. I regret I am ignorant about Roseburg and will have to look it up. I cannot tell if you personally lost a loved one which would multiple this tragedy in unimaginable ways. There have always been cruel and senseless hearts, and that will always make me cry. Congratulations on your win ... CayCay
