Tiny shoes unlaced
Empty desks in silence sit
Echos of gunshots

Broken hearts we feel

Remembering Sandy Hook

In quiet Newtown, on that December day,
A nightmare unfolded, we couldn’t look away.
Our hearts broke as we learned the news,
Of children and teachers gone, we were confused.

We heard stories of heroes, of bravery and love,
Of young lives taken, sent to heaven above.
We mourned for those lost, our hearts full of pain,
And vowed to never forget their names.

We send our prayers to those left behind,
May they find peace, in the memories they find.
We honor the angels, whose light brightly shines,
Their spirits live on, in the hearts and minds
Of a nation that will never forget.

The Hope of Sandy Hook

In the aftermath of tragedy,
When darkness seemed to cover all,
A glimmer of hope shone through,
A light that we couldn’t ignore.

In the heart of Newtown, we saw,
Acts of kindness, of love and grace,
Communities united, holding hands,
Embracing each other in warm embrace.

For every life cut far too short,
There’s a seed of hope that’s sown,
From a mother’s love to mourners’ tears,
The light of hope will forever be shown.

We have no answers to why this happens,
Or what our future holds,
But we know that from every tragedy,
The hope of humanity unfolds.

The Unforgotten Souls of Sandy Hook

In a quiet town, nestled among hills,
The sun shone bright, the air crisp and still.
Children lined up, with backpacks in tow,
Their parents waved goodbye, reluctantly letting them go.

Inside their classrooms, they learned and played,
Their teachers watched over them, each and every day.
But on one December morn, tragedy struck,
The peace shattered, as a heartless evil struck.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the halls,
As teachers and children tried to escape from it all.
But some were not so lucky, they were trapped,
Their lives cut short, in a senseless act.

The youngest ones had no idea why,
But held on tight, as their innocence was ripped from them, on that cold black day.
Parents, friends, and neighbors wept and prayed,
For the souls lost, forever taken away.

Newtown was shattered, their hearts broken,
A nation in mourning, words left unspoken.
We’ll never forget the faces of those we lost,
Their memory forever etched, in our hearts.

So, let’s honor their lives and carry on,
For the love and joy they brought to us, now gone.
In their name, we’ll strive for peace and good,
And remember the unforgotten souls of Sandy Hook, as we should.

Echoes of Sandy Hook

In the wake of tragedy, when bullets rang,
Echoes of Sandy Hook, forever will hang
In our hearts and minds, the pain we endure,
The memory of those lost, forever pure.

Twenty little angels, called to heaven above
Innocent lives, filled with love
Taken too soon, before their time,
A senseless act, a heinous crime.

Their smiles, their laughter, now forever still,
But in our hearts, they live on, always will
We will honor their memory, and remember what they taught,
That love conquers hate, in battles we’ve fought.

But for the families left behind, the pain is raw,
For they’ll never hold their child, or hear their child’s encore
Their futures forever changed, never the same,
Their loss unthinkable, without any blame.

We must be the change, to make sure this never repeats,
To ensure our children can safely take a seat,
In their classrooms, in their homes, in their lives,
Without fear, without terror, free to thrive.

Echoes of Sandy Hook, we will never forget,
Their memories forever etched, in our hearts they’re set.
We will honor their legacy, with love and with light,
And in the darkness, we’ll be shining bright.
