The 26 Angels

We let down our guards, 
  in these uncertain times.
   
   20 little angels, gentle meek & mild.
    Full of such promise, so full of life.
     
      A vision of innocence, 
       taken & lost,  in our precious sight.


6 guardian angels, 
  wings opened wide.
   
   Shielding with love, 
    unafraid to risk life.
     
       Teardrops of sorrow, 
       now fill the sky.


The rainstorm continues, 
  for the ones left behind
   
    A heavy heart we carry, 
    a nation outpours mourns of why?
     
      Together as one we, will not falter,  
      please hear our cry...
