The most innocent life
is the face of a child
who has never known strife
and only knows how to smile
With a smile so wide
it can melt any heart
so much love inside
can fill a waiting cart
The gentle soul within
much joy does store
plenty of happiness without end
for a time and hopefully more
The calmness of peace
fills an empty soul
comes from the most least
and reaches its goal
An angel God does send
like a flower in bloom
no knowledge of sin
or darkness and gloom
The more innocence lives
the world will surely gain
from what it will give
to a world full of pain
A glorious little life
sent from heaven above
to entertain all
with unselfish love

May God be with them all..
Such a beautiful poem for such a tragic event. Its going to be hard to sleep tonight, I can't get my mind off the innocent lives lost today .... I know the precious children are in Heaven but for those parents, siblings and grandparents left behind, ohhhh breaks my heart to think of the pain they're all feeling right now. God be with them all ....
ReplyDeleteOh I know how you feel. My heart is breaking into for all of them and the pain and heartache they are going through.. All we can do is pray.
DeleteBeautiful poem, Susie...
ReplyDeleteIt's just so sad I had to turn the TV off for a while, but then I remembered those people who lost loved ones can't just "turn it off"~ it's reality for them. Praying for all of them tonight...
I did to Paula. It's heart wrenching and devastating to so many.
DeleteA beautiful poem. Prayers for them all!
ReplyDeleteThat's all that we can and know to do is pray Beth..
DeleteSo well said, Susie. I'm thinking today of those parents who woke up this morning with broken hearts and empty places in their homes. Just can't watch anymore of it.
ReplyDeleteThe same here and those places will never be filled and lives are changed forever..
DeleteVery pretty Susie, and a comfort. You are a blessing.
ReplyDeleteOh Susie, the pain of those parents in beyond our comprehension. I am sure if it were my own child, I would feel dead inside myself. Such little innocent ones, just on their verge of life. Your words for them are beautiful, God bless your kindness. From a mothers heart I am sure all who read what you have written will feel the compassion felt by us all. Love sent your way today. xxx
ReplyDeleteI agree Crystal.. They will never get over this and I can't even comprehend it.. Lives changed forever.
DeleteVery beautiful, Susie. Thank you for sharing this at such a tragic time in our nation. God bless America.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mildred. Yes God Bless this country and those that are suffering.
DeleteWhat a precious poem about the innocence and charm of children.
ReplyDeleteI am still crying for their poor families, and for our nation...We need the Lord now more than ever for comfort and hope.
Very touching poem, Susie. Such a tragic day for so many.
