We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside of us..


Our hearts are heavy
Our tears
They cascade
For the loss of young angels
Taken one Friday

For we are grievous and mournful
Depressed and heartbroken
But god shall heal us
From our sorrow we shall be awoken

Though its not time to be sad
We shall rejoice
For the years they spent here
For our lives filled with there small but impactful voice

Her heart
As big as her hair of scarlet
A sweetheart in a dress
This is how we remember Charlotte

A child of grace
Beautiful, full of charisma
A Girl Scout clothed in pink and purple
This is how we remember Olivia

An angel with dimples
Possessing blue eyes that glisten
His mischievous little grin
This is how we remember Dylan

A son who was going places
Riding horses, being friendly
A farm boy with a purpose
This is how we remember Jesse

The gal in pink tails
A smiling pre-Madonna
Beautiful and vibrant
This is how we remember Ana

An ultimate girly girl
Dressed up with jewels and lace
A beautiful child
This is how we remember Grace

She could light up a room
Full of little serendipitys
Bubbly and bright
This is how we remember Emilie

A rambunctious free spirit
Hyped up on soda
The gorgeous boy
This is how we remember Noah

Lover of horses
Couldn't find a replica
Our little CEO
This is how we remember Jessica

The children who brought us joy
Josephine, Daniel, Chase,
Madeline, Caroline, James,
Children who can never be replaced

The children we love
Catherine,Avielle, Jack,
Benjamin, Allison
For these children our nation will make a comeback

I wrote this to present at a Sandy Hooks remembrance ceremony. I was told it touched the hearts of many people in the audience so I decided I share it(:
My prayers go out to everyone effected in Newton Conneticut and everyone around the world mourning from the tragedy.
