So many young deaths…
Stricken with grief, I turned to find solace in His Creation…
And so my eyes naturally wondered to the beauty of the night
I stood, I pondered, and absorbed the vast and wonderous sight
And there, as if they had been there all along, right before my eyes
Were four stars shining so bright, outstanding in the skies
How beautiful and breathtaking; jolting me to remember my grief inside
Surfaced the reason I searched peace, and once again my heart cried
Four young and innocent pure souls…, just the thought brought tears
Their last tomorrow, their new journey, but so young in their years!
Comfort was foreign as I grasped to think, how those moments must have been
Rubble and dust, confusion and death, all at that one scene
It would not be my place to say, what those radiant four were going through
God’s Wisdom is Greater and He encompasses such strength only in few
How brave and courageous to accept sacrifice at such a young age!
To be a living example, a reminder of the end, for man at every stage.
Young boys, I still look at the skies as these thoughts run through my mind
Something tells me those four shining stars were for me to find…
To believe that, really, despite how it seems, you four spirits are okay
Having done your duty to help others take heed and pave the right way.
Thank you, for being of those many young souls who chose to give;
In order for others to learn, to right their wrongs, and truly live.
Thank you.
