Newtown, Connecticut
December 14, 2012
your children are not coming home
ever again
there are no words
only the language of sobs and tears
can begin to express the shattering grief
the massacre of children
unfathomable sorrow, suffering and pain
the lives of twenty beautiful little kids
between the ages of six and seven years old
along with six caring adults were cut down
the lives they could have lived cut short
their dreams, hopes, and promise
extinguished
the lives of their families and friends
devastated
how can anyone recover?
the only answer that comes
is
Love
to weep together
hold tight to each other
reach out to those in pain
emanating more and more Love
together, supporting each other
Loving one another is the way through
my broken Heart, Love and Prayers
go out to the victims of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut
and to their families, friends, and community
and to all victims of violence everywhere around the world.
Newtown, Connecticut
another town placed upon a list
that should never exist
