February 14th
Rest easy beautiful souls because after that day, no one feels whole
We all have our own stories to share, but the sound of a gun will still be there
Heavy hearts
How to we heal
It’s unbelievable that this is even real
We woke up that morning complaining about a test
No valentines
Maybe no rest
supposed to be enjoying the day
And he left us with no words to say
Just trembling souls who wish for his pain
Who wish for justice served
Prevention earned
And victims to heal
Emptiness flies through the halls
A piece broken in us all
How do we repair, how do we erase the despair
How do we go on to smile and laugh, knowing what happened in our past
Because it happened here in our home
2:35 February 14,2018 will always be set in stone
Because at the end of the day
The community is always together in every way
In the city of love, 17 angles watch from up above
Because Douglas is strong
Douglas is a place where I always belong
And parkland is my home
It’s all I’ve ever known
We will heal, positive and tall
We will love, passionate with all
We will grow,
because in the face of evil, we are proud to be eagles
