Why??!! There are times when things happen that only our Faith in God...can enable us to bear. This is one of those times. MY HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES AND SINCERE PRAYERS FOR ALL THE FAMILIES INVOLVED.

*Six and seven years ago* *Almighty God did fashion...* *and brought forth from twenty wombs* *the results of His Love's passion* O *Each one an unique and tangible gift* *they were to be kept for Him...on loan* *until He in time would take them back* *for they were...His very own* O *He came one day...out of the blue* *and called them all by name* *they took His hand and followed Him* *...our lives will never be the same* O *You see, through our tears...their calm* *we cannot see* *in our pain...we can't imagine* *the earthly things they release* O *For twenty little sinless souls* *with six heroic guardians in attend* *have been transported to a realm* *where His Eternal Light...will never end* O *But its the way that they left, you cry!* *Oh! But you weep not alone* *and 'all' our prayers are for you...* *the whole country with you...moans* O *To understand...?* *a so dark tide...now hides* *but know this and keep this treasure* *forever...they'll be at His side* O *Within their hearts* *a hope does ring* *for those they left behind* *that one day...you'll join them there* *where never a soul does pine* O *There's a 'clear as glass' sea* *in that beauteous place* *you'll stroll by the waters* *together laughing...face to face* O *Twenty Little Angels frolic and play* *Twenty Little Angels anticipate Christmas Day* *Twenty Little Angels so new and so free* *Running merrily along...Heaven's Streets* *Rom 5:1, Jhn 14:1, Is 26:3* *copyright; jmsbell12/16/12*

A beautiful,poignant reminder of how all of us have been affected by an act so violent and senseless that God alone knows the why of it.
Thank you for this moving memorial,and continued success.

Your words are worthy of further publishing beyond the Den. You wrote this poem with the depth of a mother, a Christian and one who wept at the disaster at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Thank you for these words of comfort that tore at my heart and made me weep when I could not before. Many blessings sent your way, dear Joyce.

Their innocent lives lost for reasons we cannot explain, and your words echo that grief and pain so well. Let us strive to take hold of the power prayer and ask God that this will never be repeated AGAIN in any other place to any other child. We grieve, yes, but with firm resolute determination, we must passionately cry out for God's move in the nation. We need Him.

If there is something that I have learned, it is that I know less and less each time events occur that I cannot explain. Thank you, Joyce. Love and blessings to you,

No doubt in my mind an Angelic person wrote this. Bless you Joyce. Help us to pray. For that's all that works these days. Amen
