Poetry

To the faculty, student-body, residents, and parents of Virginia Tech.....May God enter your hearts in this turbulent time....our prayers are with you.

My children I cannot tell you why the bad is done, but I will hold you close until the battle is won

There are those of you who live and wonder what it means to die

There are those of you who die because one chooses not to live

There are those of you who watch and wonder "Why not me?"

There are those of you who die and are silenced for the day

There are those of you who weep and pull your children near

There are those of you who cry at the emptiness you now feel

There are those of you who wonder how the pain will ever leave

There are those in this world who don't know how to live with love

....sigh....

I give you all I have and yet the sadness tends to grow

To the mothers and the fathers who feel this new found pain

Your children are safe and here they now belong......

The stains of death are gone and a new life they now embark

My children I cannot tell you why the bad is done, but I will hold you close until the battle is won.


To the families and people of Virginia Tech....God is there. Let Him hold you......sometimes it's the only thing that will keep you standing.
