L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Uvalde's Children

Where have all the children gone
Innocent laddies and lasses so,
I wonder why they had no future
Just how they were chosen to go?

Don’t tell me God needed angels
Or they were in the wrong place,
There are no comforting words
Only solace a warming embrace.

My heart still aches deep inside
For Uvalde’s children, I have cried,
No, you cannot know how I feel
I am sure that only time can heal.

I have worked in 9 schools; I see 9 principals unlocking or kicking down that door an hour before it opened. L Milton Hankins June 2, 2022 at 9:57 AM I can't say any more than I did. I am still heartbroken. Little innocent kids, Caren..........
