Stop

Stop!

Stop and see what you have in your life!

Stop!

Stop and see what people have always been there for you.

Stop!

Stop and realize that you are loved.

Stop!

Stop being ungrateful, but start being appreciative.

For you are alive, and can live in honor of those people who lost their lives to violence.

For their life has stopped, but yours is just beginning.

So stop and be grateful!
