Where the Children Are

On a quiet Friday morning
the Holy Father looked down
on a beautiful little haven
by the name of Newtown.

He saw twenty-six souls
preparing to take flight
so He sent guardian angels
to help guide them to the light.

The angels flew quickly
passing streams and brooks.
They landed at a school
by the name of Sandy Hook.

The souls gathered together
in a circle of love
and flew with the angels
to Heaven above.

To those left behind
please have no fear.
Just listen to these words
that God wants you to hear.

Your loved ones are not gone.
Although eyes cannot see,
they are in Paradise
where they are now free-- 

of the pain and sorrow
iflicted by man,
and living in love
in God’s Holy Land.
