(YOU (my poem for the children of Sandy Hook) You were so young and filled with life You were full of innocence and the spirit that it carries You were smiling and laughing just as you were blossoming like fresh flowers You were bright, funny, and endearing You were our future...so full of energy and possibilities You were the sunshine that never seemed to dim You were our souls of the future with dreams of everything and forever You were inspirational love...and you were loved dearly You were taken by an evil spirit...leaving behind so much You are here with us as we try to understand the unimaginable of your loss You are in our hearts and souls You are our conscience mourning your loss You are the wind peacefully blowing through the trees as the sun shines through them You are the spirit of our future and... You are the angels guiding us all through this as you smile, laugh, and play together You are always going to be the change that hope brings to us all You know we miss you and your friends...please tell them we said hello You know you'll never be forgotten even as time goes by...slowly...as we talk to you with no answers You know we'll be wishing you were here and helping us move back in time...knowing that cannot be You know us well...we wish we could have known you into the future down here You know you're safe now...nothing can harm you again as you look down here at us and us up to you You know down here we're not sure where we need to go or what to do...it is all a terrible nightmare You know we all need your guiding hands to show us the way You know we can bridge this from here up to you and back You know much love...our love will see you again You know...we will all be okay...someday...thanks to you and your friends Love you all
