Columbine Crying ~*Marge Tindal*~ I heard the beat of angels wings, as if hurrying in their flight. The soft, but steady, whirring of angels in the light. They circled 'round Columbine High and waited for the nod. They gathered the souls of students. They were sent by God. They quickly found the children, took them gently by the hand. They carried your child to God, safe from this violent land. God spread the gates of Heaven wide. He bade the angels bring your child inside. The trumpets of Gabriel's angels played a welcoming call. The angels of Columbine High are gathered now in Heaven's Hall. Rest ye' now your weary hearts. Let your teardrops fall. God now holds your children safe in Heaven's Hallowed Hall. See a star. Reach for the light. Your children are glowing in God's magic night. *A memorial tribute to the victims at Columbine High School 4/20/99 Cassie Bernall - Steven Curnow - Corey DePooter Kelly Fleming - Matthew Kechter - Daniel Mauser Daniel Rohrbough - Mr. William Sanders - Rachael Scott Isaiah Shoels - John Tomlin - Lauren Townsend - Kyle Velasquez Our hearts cried in unison at the loss wrought so cruelly at the hands of those who should not have had unlimited and unsupervised access to guns. ~*Marge Tindal*~ |

Another touching poem, God bless. Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching... |

Marge, this is a beautiful tribute. What does it take for everyone to realize that we need to have compassion and love for everyone? "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

 Rachel Joy Scott Such a tragedy. Your peom describes a much lighter side to it. Though I still don't feel selfish for missing those who have gone to a better place. I can pray to them, but they can't reply just yet... makes the wait between now and when we meet again seem so long. For anyone who wants to read more about Rachel or any of the other victims of Columbine go to: http://www.columbine-memorial.org/ < !signature--> "Don't let your character get camoflaged with your environment.

Wow Marge...this is so powerful, so loving, so hopeful..it is hard to find a light side to such a tragedy. But those lost souls are indeed being taken care of now. A stunning tribute to the lives taken a year ago. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

WhiteNite~ I'm not sure that there is a 'light side' to this tragedy ... the important thing is for us all to remember. Thank you for the picture and the site link. There are many of them out there done in loving memorium. Balladeer~ Yes, and that would be my wish too. We can only pray for their families .. again. ButterfliesDC~ I guess we all just need to take a moment to remember these precious lives. Alwye~ I'm sure they are all in God's care. Such a loss for this world. *Let us all just take a moment to send a prayerful thought to their family and friends. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
