An angel has been gained,
yet there has been so much blood stained.

In these families' lives,
the men can little as comfort their wives.

They will weep and fill with sorrow,
pray that there will be a better tomorrow.

The cruel truth of reality is true,
and for a while their eyes will only know blue.

Younger then 85 is a terrible way to die,
their loved ones can do nothing but ask God "why"?

Yet perhaps God knows this,
as the families stare out into the vacant abyss.

They may find peace with prayer,
tell them that God is there.

There is a reason for what has been done,
do not worry, you will see your son.

McKenzie and Brogan are in a better place,
do not let their time on Earth be a waste.

Think of the good times and memories made,
do not let the incident put those in the shade.

They will be looking down from noon to noon,
saying to their families, "I promise I will see you soon".
