Respite

If there is a point of respite

During these days of sorrow and mourning -

 

It must be in finding a peace

That the innocence of the children

Has found a permanent place  –

 

And that these little angels will now hold ease

Over our pained hearts.

 

Holding us near heaven’s blessed waters

So that  their little faces can reflect

Upon us - so to soothe our wounds

 

While the long dark night can find a new morning.
