My heart breaks for the families of the horrible tragedy in Newtown CT. While no words from the English language could truly comfort anyone, I hope that each parent, brother, sister, mother, father, and relative can somehow find peace knowing each child is resting safely in the arms of Jesus. As with most things, the incident sparked some song lyrics and I wrote them down. The title is Finally Got My Wings.
Finally Got My Wings 2012 Chris Martin (verse one) Hello Mom and Dad I hate to see you both so sad But I'm in a better place now Through the tears and the pain All the clouds filled with rain You need to stay strong somehow It's really nice up here No more hurt, no more fear God says this is now our home I am gone, but I hope you see You'll always have a part of me Remember this when you feel alone (chorus) I finally got my wings And it feels so good to fly I know it's hard to understand Why I had to say goodbye People say I'm too young With a whole life ahead of me But I'm with the angels now I hope that you can see That I finally got my wings (verse two) Hello Mom and Dad I hate to see you both so sad There's so much I want to say I know you had plans for me I know how much you wanted to see The smiles on my wedding day Jesus is holding my hand Dad, I hope you can understand He's going to walk me down the aisle I'm sorry you can't be here Help Mom wipe away her tears Think of me when you need to smile And remember this when you feel alone (repeat chorus)

Chris, that is beautiful. I recently reblogged a post from a radio station in Connecticut who provided an address to send letters to the victims families. Perhaps there is a way you can share your song. Here it is:

Chris,
thankyou for painting beautiful pictures through your words. Your poem for the Newtown, Ct. victims was beautiful, too. It’s so hard to wrap our minds around these senseless acts of violence, but we have to trust in our Heavenly Father & turn to Him for comfort & help these families & keep them in our prayers.
Your note to your dad brought tears to my eyes. You are honoring him by honoring your mom
See you soon
