Sandyhook Requiem
Friday 12-14-12 started as any other day
Dressing for school, hurried breakfasts, hugs, little ones at play
Dedicated, loving teachers there in the morning
As dedicated, loving parents hand-off their living treasures
Little beating hearts and chubby hands
Giggles and greetings, crayons and colored clay
Chaos and unspeakable violence breached the walls
Of an institution felt safe and warm
By one confused, angry and hurt…
I can't find the right words...... But I thing Maria did.......God Bless........
Well SAID. Thank you for your words of thoughtfulness, Inspiration, Motivation, Peace, and to share with ALL. My Deepest Condolences to the Families. My prayers are with them all. Be Blessed, Mtetar

Reblogged this on Donna Jean McDunn and commented:
There really are no words for what happened at Sandy Hook, but this is very close to how I think everyone feels.
It’s a tragedy beyond words. Thank you for sharing
Listen to Nada Surf, Always Love.
Deep prayers for the families, the mothers…
Our community joins with Newtown to share in their sorrow and loss by sending our “rose” candle from the Advent Wreath with a black ribbon tied in a bow. …Our thoughts and prayers go out to them……God’s Blessings go out to them…….
should we continue to ask why or pray no more. To the incosolable I offer my heartfelt prayers and hope no more senseless violence.
We all have our stories, I agree. We all feel pain. We all need a kind act or gesture to get us through the rough patches. And hopefully, we will all pay if forward and extend loving kindness to all who cross our paths. Perhaps if we do, another event such as this will be avoided. Maria says it so well and describes how we all weep for souls set free sooner than we were ready to release them.
hey! thanks for liking my blog. We are almost the same age. I am one year older than you. We should keep in touch. I live in Australia. It’d be good to comment on each other’s blogs from time to time.
I cried all day- all I kept think about was my Grandkids-ou said it best-
