What Will You Do by Richard Maxfield 4-25-99 Why do our children have to die? Leave all who love left to cry. Young lives that ended before their time. There is no reason there is no rhyme. Those kids with so much life ahead. Now there is no life they are dead. Their parents I don’t have a clue. If I was one what would I do. You love your kids and take such care. Something like this takes you unaware. How can we save our kids at school? Teach them to be nobodies fool. What will it take to make us aware? What will it take to make us care? How many more have to die? How many more are left to cry? There is something so wrong today. What it is, is so hard to say. It is such a shame and we shake our head. While others hold guns and our children are dead. It’s not the guns that do the killing. It is our children the thought is chilling. There is such a problem and we all set by. What will you do when it is your time to cry? copyright #RM99R4 |

Richard, this is a powerful and amazing piece, utterly heart wrenching, and it brought tears to my eyes. (Being at work that is not a good idea, ) Utterly outstanding writing it really is. Take care Mushy Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I posted a poem a few days ago with the same message. It is hard to understand the death of innocence, but children learn from what they see.. Maybe if we were not so afraid to show love, they would see it more. Children are not born to hate, they are taught and we are their teachers. Let us not be afraid to love. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |
