Dad, where is my brother?
My dear. He is dead.
How?
A Gunman took his life.
Why?
Evil was in the man’s soul!

Dad, where is my sister?
She is dead  too, my dear.
How?
She was with your brother
At the time
The gun fired.

Dad, where is my mother?
She is also dead. my dear.
How?
She was there with your brother and sister.
Why?
A family, my dear.


Dad, I know how you died.
For protecting other kids
Will you guard  my mother, my brother and my sister in heaven?

My dear child,
It is a safe place
and there is a new life.

yes, there is new life, still very difficult for anyone to consume

It seems to me, I've read this before, have you posted it in another site?  

Well done...

WOW... the tears are shared.... my eyes filled up, as I read... very moving and powerful!  

Unfortunately it is a sad truth.  The youth of today see this more and more each day....  My heart goes out to them...  

Thank you for sharing!
