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
