Tears and Heroes
Maybe it’s because most of the victims were children
Maybe it’s because I was a teacher
Maybe it’s simply because I’m human
What happened at Sandy Hook Elementary makes my heart weep
Lives were taken
Dreams were shattered
Innocence was lost
Tears have fallen
But let us not lose sight of the good that is in our fellow
man
There are heroes among us
Teachers who shielded their students from harm
Some who gave their lives to protect others
Emergency workers who rushed to help
Friends who comfort broken families
Neighbors who bring food just because it’s a little
something they can do
Strangers who pray from afar
May we remember those that mourn
May we cherish those beside us
May we live for what is eternal
