CRYING
The beautiful day is marred with the news,
the scene is surrounded by television crews.
Kids are frightened , running scared... crying,
shaking their heads, adults are lost and sighing.
Time fades ever so slowly to a stand still,
As I stand waiting, watching as if on a hill.
I truly wonder why we allow ourselves to be so cruel
when we know our lives are destined to be over too.
To be sitting in class wishing of our dreams,
Listening to Teacher, trying to teach us reams.
The shots in the school heard throughout the halls,
bet's are tolling for those doomed to take the fall.
The shooter quits firing and lays down his gun,
others see that he's finished and has had his fun.
With a smile on his face and blood on his hands,
Got starts the new day Crying for his Lands.
There are so many wonderful things to do and see,
So many amazing things the future holds to be.
True, our future is seemingly unknown,
But life without Chances is our Fate sewn.

Remember only we can teach our children kindness for others. THIS past and future are UNnessesary. Do try to remember who listens (and YES they do listen) to you and your actions then repeats them, and give them examples to LOVE and LIVE by.
Blessings,
