Twenty pairs of lips will never be kissed,
Twenty pairs of angel wings kissed them instead.
Twenty little giggles will ring in mothers’ dreams,
Twenty little handprints will stain fathers’ hearts.
Forty lungs breathed their last breaths,
Forty eyes shut for the last time.
Sixty seconds changed it all,
One man ruined twenty little worlds.
And the school doors shut solemnly,
And the bedrooms became shrines,
And the training wheels will never come off,
Because of a trainwreck of a day.
