In honor and remembrance of the children and
teachers of Sandy Hook
Elementary school.
It was' 11 days before Christmas, around
9:38,
When 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious,
their laughter filled the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty they
saw there.
They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"Where
are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is heaven." declared
a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house."
When what to their
wondering eyes did appear,
But Jesus, their savior, the children gathered
near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
Then He
opened His arms and He called them by name,
And in that moment was joy, that
only heaven can bring.
Those children all flew into the arms of their
King,
And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
One small girl
turned and looked at Jesus' face.
And as if He could read all the questions
she had,
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of Mom and Dad."
Then
He looked down on earth, the world far below,
He saw all of the hurt, the
sorrow, and woe.
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His
hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
"May this country be
delivered from the hands of fools."
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking
back my schools!"
Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"Come
now my children, let me show you around."
Excitement filled the space, some
skipped and some ran.
All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child
can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"In the midst of
this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
