In a a moment, they breathe their last Their soul can in smoke escape There is no more pain from their past Given a coin, their being now reshape
The innocence is gone Twenty precious ones have fallen The angels cease their song Their guide to Styx is calling
Over the river they must travel To meet the Lady and Lord The dead waters have no current to babble now that the Fates have cut short almost thirty cords
My heart goes out to the families that lost their beloved children in the elementary school shooting in Connecticut today. It was not their time, and I wish there was an explanation for such senseless destruction of pure life. They are all in my prayers.
