Shock and awe!
Tears stream down our angelic faces
Shock and awe!
Parents cry out for their children
As this horror rips our minds
Pain grips our hearts and souls
Even our children cannot be children
Even our children cannot be children
Everything hurts
Everybody hurts
Every family hurts
Our hearts hurt
Our souls hurt
Our spirits hurt
God in heaven paid the ultimate cost
Yet so many innocent lives have been lost
Our warm hearts will never turn into frost
Although an evil line has been crossed
21 spirits have entered the heavenly gates
21 spirits floating as angels in eternal fate
Yet it’s never too late
To transform our sad and dark state
Let us remember the children of Uvalde
Let our hearts and spirits heal the families of Uvalde
Let our spirits fly high like a dove
As the divine light shines hope from above
Let us protect our children with love
The End
