Angelic voices sounding from above:a sonnet dedication
This is a little sonnet tribute to the children of Sandy Hook Elementary School, who passed away on the 14th of December, 2012
Before the distant cross, in humble prayer,
In search of calming silence, not enough
Small angelic chorus sung from high above
“With you, we’ll be there.”
In His Time-Instrumental
“Here in His alcove, nothing remiss
Basking in His ever loving care
His to give, and ours to share,
From hence, our place of eternal bliss.”
“And so he heals the wounds in time
Bridges firmly all rifts, open, gaping
With His gentle hands, so kind
Our little souls, continues, softly shaping
With caressing words that softly rhyme
Our eternal happiness he is creating.”

Thanks, Mike. I hope that the prayer for all these heartbroken families will be heard. I also hope the madness can be controlled. Thanks for sharing, and the awesome compliment! Glad to share.
4 thumbs up on this one Midget, I sent my prayers out to those families who suffered losses in this tragedy back in 2012 too, and I pray to god that none of this sort of madness ever occurs again.
Your poetry is soothing and like a breath of fresh air, so serene, so relaxing as well. Great usage of page breaks and imagery to compliment it and provide the finishing touches, well done.
Sharing this Jewel that I missed as well, awesome stuff!

We can never fully feel their pain or loss, but just offer our support however we can. Thanks for sharing, Deb.
This was beautifully written. I expected a blatant clap trap and was delightfully mistaken. Well done.
This is a beautiful tribute. I hope the families can take some comfort in knowing we all join in their sorrow.
