    A Poem/Prayer for Newtown Conneticut's Children

    Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
    When 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
    Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
    They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.

    They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.
    They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
    "Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
    "This is heaven." declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house."

    When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
    But Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
    He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
    Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.

    And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
    Those children all flew into the arms of their King
    And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
    One small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.

    And as if He could read all the questions she had
    He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
    Then He looked down on earth, the world far below
    He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe

    Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
    "Let My power and presence re-enter this land!
    May this country be delivered from the hands of fools
    I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"

    Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
    "Come now my children, let me show you around."
    Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
    All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.

    And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
    "In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."

    Written by Cameo Smith, Mt. Wolf, PA

    "Worry is the darkroom where negatives are formed."

    It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

        Thank you so much for sharing that poem. My heart still hurts from watching the school shooting on Friday. I pray this will be the last one we have to hear about but I am sure I will be wrong about that.

            Instead of a poem, these children need legislation written and quickly passed that will finally remove these weapons of mass destruction from the general populace. There is NO reason for private ownership of assault rifles/30 round clips etc - period. Otherwise their deaths will be more senseless then they are - if that is possible.

              When we make guns illegal, there will be no more guns. Real good idea. Perhaps if we make crack, heroin, meth illegal, the same will happen.

              No gun has ever killed a person. No hammer has ever built a house. How many murders were stopped with the use of this gun? See: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/man-...th-one-bullet/

                This thread is intended to be a memorial to the children of Newtown, nothing more. Those wishing to turn it into a discussion about gun control, need to carry it to the political thread. This is not the place for it.
