Please remember us lovingly, close your eyes and we will never be apart
Please remember us fondly, for we live on, eternally in your heart
Please remember our beaming smiles as we all played together
You may take our bodies, but our presence will be felt forever
Was this really our plan? Or God’s plan? Was this all she penned?
Were we not blessed with promise? Is this really the end?
Were we not filled with hope? And not filled with joy?
So innocent, so pure, Discarded like a broken toy
What drives a man to take a life? What drives a man to kill?
How about the voids you have left? How about the ability never fulfilled?
Were we not destined for greatness? Or destined for more?
May you hang your head in shame, may you walk on blood-stained floors
Were we not worthy? Did we do something wrong?
Who will hold our hand? Who will sing our song?
What a tragic waste of such incredible potential
What about our charisma, What about our credentials?
You get one shot, and you have chosen to deprive us
You get one opportunity, who are you to survive us?
May our tears from heaven forever rain on your parade
Where was our hero? Why were we not saved?
May our spirits forever, weigh heavy upon your shoulders
Where was our hero? No one was there to hold us
You have shattered so many hearts, and they will never truly heal
Even as time unravels, the pain is very real
Stay with us, pray with us, were we not enough?
Stay with us, pray with us, as we look down from above
Think of all the smiles, and think of all the laughter
Think of all the vows, and the happy ever after’s
Look at what you have done, look at what you have taken
Look at what you have destroyed, look at what you have forsaken
Stand with us, be proud of us, and everything we could have been
Stand with us, be proud of us, and everything we could have seen
For we are the children who never got the chance to grow old and grey
For we are the children who never returned home from school that day
Fly away, fly high and hit the dizzy heights
Be brave, fly far, like pretty little kites
So, sleep tight precious babies and shine bright like little stars, never forget you are amazing, never forget that you are ours
