As we sit and complain that our life is unfair <br />I work too hard, I'm too stressed to care <br />The actions of a man we say we despise <br />Today took the souls of innocent lives <br /> <br />But why does it take despair such as this this <br />To bring us together in the name of peace <br />So please save a prayer for the innocent ones <br />That were taken away by a man with a gun <br /> <br />While we only bear this burden for a number of weeks <br />There are the families out there with tears forever on their cheeks <br />They will never forget their little ones <br />Who will never see the age of 21 <br />Who will never again, run, grow and play <br />They will never forget a second of this day <br /> <br />So in a number of weeks when Christmas draws near <br />Save a moment, a thought, or even a tear <br />For the families that sit with a tree full of presents <br />And a silence that haunts a house with its presence <br />No laughter, no playing and no Christmas cheer <br />No puddings, no stocking and no coal to fear <br /> <br />Twenty-seven lives taken in a second <br />Some even so young they weren't even eleven <br />Rest in peace little angels, may your souls rest in heaven<br /><br />Anon ymous<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-about-the-sandy-hook-shootings/
