A cold couple of weeks,

Feels like a day or two ago,

So haunting in our lives,

Such a horrid mistake of evil,

The children lost their lives,

Can’t wrap our head around the pain.

Prayer and helplessness interact.

Its pall is achingly familiar,

Heart and soul in a reveal,

We cannot deny, we are just in pain.

This will jade their innocent lives,

Carried forward in utter confusion.
