As a mother of three young children, I was inspired to write a letter to and about the children of Sandy Hook. These children were denied a future of learning and growing. We can honor them by learning from the tragedy and hope a tragedy like this will never happen again.
Dear: Angels of Sandy Hook -
Beautiful children that a monster took.
Creating and learning while in school
Dying from guns was mercilessly cruel
Each of you were young and innocent
Full of life and filled with reverence
God sent you down for us to imagine
How it's like to live in heaven.
It's a place where we all belong
Joy and laughter are never gone
Kisses are plenty, and hugs are shared
Love is found everywhere
Maniacs with guns are not allowed
No one dares to hurt you now
Once in heaven, your pain is done
Parents are hurting because you're gone
Quiet yards and noiseless bedrooms
Real reminders that the grieving continues
Siblings are lost without their best friends
Tears shed for you never ends
Unyielding support from here and there
Vigils held by those who care
Why did a mad man become so hateful?
X-ing off children, teachers, and your principal?
Your time on earth was cut too short
Zillion more things for you were still in store
