Hearts are breaking everywhere tonight.
Children cry by candlelight.
Yesterday you prayed the lord your sole to keep.
Today mothers everywhere weep.
Someone came to school with a gun.
Children screamed and began to run.
One by one children fall to their knees.
One even begged please.
A playground bleeds.
A teacher cries clutching a body of broken dreams.
Look out children when you play.
Today is the day your life will be taken away.
He's determined to make everyone pay.
Hearts are breaking everywhere tonight.
Children cry by candlelight.
Yesterday you prayed the lord your sole to keep.
Today mothers everywhere weep.
Mothers hold your children close.
When you will see them again no one knows.
Before the gun is empty he will take his life.
Innocence children lost in the bright light.
They did not have a chance to fight.
So many small bodies in a pile.
The child's parents are on trial.
Justice and dignity still lack.
Once a life is gone it can't come back.
Hearts are breaking everywhere tonight.
Children cry by candlelight.
Yesterday you prayed the lord your sole to keep.
Today mothers everywhere weep.
Your children are safe and fine.
Gods playing for keeps this time.

Poetry: Prayers for lost children
Dear lord what can I do, the lost sweet children I pray for two.
I say it Lord with your sweet grace to hold those children
by Lori Wyman
God, my prayers are for her,
my pain at the depths,
my heart in shreds.
the deep ache is making me invisible.
Her dainty ways,
Hearts are breaking everywhere tonight.
Children cry by candlelight.
Yesterd ay you prayed the lord your sole to keep.
Today
My prayer for lost children
Down on my knees, I dropped to the floor...
My heart is in pain, I can't take anymore.
"Please
by Donna Mccay
Precious Papa Daddy,
Lavishly wash and bathe
All the lost children
With continuous waves
Of your awesome warm love
