What’s this madness on the news?
What’s this sadness? I’m confused!
A child so loved! Children so dear
All of them lost, lost in this fear.

How can one man create such pain?
To those so innocent, there was no restrain
Now families fall upon their knees
Calling for Help, “Lord help us Please!”

The children now rest in heaven above
In the arms of their Savior and His love
The families below lay in pain untold
Leaving them feeling the ultimate cold

So let them feel your love tonight
For no family deserves to feel this fright
From A loved one lost, much too young
Before life’s spring had truly sprung

So together we come to their aid
To try and ease so much, oh so much pain
We’ll shed our tears, we’ll say our prayers
Knowing even time may not repair

It’s an act of sadness this is true
And an act that can truly unravel you
So as a nation we say stay strong.
You’re in our hearts where you belong!
This was written the day of the Elementary shooting in December of 2012.
