Hope For Newtown, Connecticut

Tragedy's visited Newtown On the Eastern Shore. Bringing a nation to its knees— Striking at the core. Sandy Hook Elementary Was seized and overpowered As twenty-six souls Were gone within an hour. God bless the brave women Mothers, sisters, wives Caring and compassionate Who sadly lost their lives. Among them, twenty tots— Ages six to seven— Who're now happy angels Smiling down from heaven. Heroic teachers there As they crouched and hid. Console, loved and guided The frightened little kids People the world over Are touched by the grief. But for this, such tragedy, There is no relief. Devastated parents, Grieved and forlorn, Look to their faith— Rekindled and reborn. And our prayer for Newtown On this dark day Is for a brighter hope That naught could take away. © 2012
