Love will keep on living

As I look upon my Facebook,
Truth echoes far and wide
Bad tidings of a tragedy,
Which no Momma can abide.

Today I threw a party.
We laughed and smiled, but how?
Evil walked the Earth today
Pray God, you can't allow.

20 little souls were stolen
Robbed of what's to come.
20 Mommas desolate,
and mercifully numb?

20 Daddies helpless,
No babies to protect...
and their Mommas and their Daddies
How many more lives wrecked?

Santa Clause is coming
less 20 on his list
empty beds and empty arms
Brother and sister missed

Tears are flowing across the world
Grief resonates this day
no love, no prayers, no empathy
can take their pain away

Three little ones are tucked in tight
Momma saddened, scared and shocked
Their mortality is realized
My happy world just rocked

No way to end these verses
My heartache goes on and on.
Love will keep on living
Even if all hope is gone.
