Petals of a Rose

by MaryZollars

An hour away, a petal falls A petal, a petal, a petal They fly to Utah, they fly to Maine They fly to Brazil, they fly to Spain A petal falls, a petal falls. Watch them drift, watch them land They are passed from hand to hand Across our minds, across our home We watched it grow, we let them go A petal, a petal, a petal

Notes

I live very close to Dayton, it’s always just been the place where the air force museum is and where my friend does synchronized swimming, and it means so much more than that now. The moment I heard the news I looked for a victims list, and asked my parents if we could donate to the families. Every hour I see it, constantly reminded of how close it was. Mass shootings can happen anywhere, and the school year is about to start. Pray for Dayton, and don’t stop fighting.
