We live in a world that seems to have gone crazy, peopled with those who hold little regard for human life. In memory of all those young lives that have been lost, I dedicate this poem ....
Today The Angels Wept
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children's souls
Into their hearts once more
They cried the tears we shared
As halls were stained with blood
And hearts throughout the land
Were united against the flood
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children's souls
Into their hearts once more
Their hearts cried in despair
At what we had become
To see the Creator's work
With hate and fear undone
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children's souls
Into their hearts once more
They sank onto their knees
And raising tear-stained faces
Sent mournful prayers above
For children of all earth's races
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children's souls
Into their hearts once more
They cried out to the Heavens
To the One they call the Dove
Lord, when will they ever learn
The only path is that of Love
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children's souls
Into their hearts once more
They shed their tears for us
Of mankind, they left out none
Because Angels know the truth
Without exception, we are One
Today the Angels wept
As so many times before
To gather children's souls
Into their hearts once more
