My heart bleeds for those young people who died.

Snuffed from life pleasures from a thief in the night.

Only night was day and the air was crisp

Curling around with a zing it did nip.

Not a one could imagine the horrors that lay

In the paths of the students; April's dreadful day.

No child should endure or surrender to fear

Or wonder what might happen; what ventures too near.

No one can change another man's choice

Until we speak out in a very loud voice.

No more murder, no more hate

Please don't select another man's fate.

Give them the path to walk straight and narrow

To be proud of successes and learning to gather.

The joys all to blossom or to falter together

But don't take our daughters our sons from our pleasure

They are precious to us; they are our treasures.

No one will know why the tragedy occurred

But to live with the questions...unanswered...unheard.

The nation is mourning and crying in pain

For our children and loved ones who died...A Peril's Day.
