The Little Ones

The Little Ones

 

I hear their voices echo down the halls

I see their spirits out on the playground

They run their hands along the walls

But none of them can now be found

 

The were just innocents in this game

Who wonder why such evil would roam

Now the world knows their little name

Viciously taken away from their home

 

Today our hearts hurt for family at loss

We send prayers and hugs but it’s not enough

To make up for this heinous albatross

This evil that we must learn to rebuff

 

We come from different places and times

With different views and beliefs too

But surely we can all hate these crimes

And search for something we can do

 

But for today for these few moments here

We pause to remember little lives lost

To say a prayer, sigh and shed a tear

That these dear little ones paid the cost
