Oh Little Town Of Sandy Hook Poem by Michael Shutt

Oh Little Town Of Sandy Hook

Oh little town of Sandy Hook,
Grief fills your streets tonight.
This tragedy has
Torn your heart-
Your streets are
Dark,
Not bright.
Your children
And your teachers
Rest in eternal light.
And in your tears

And all your fears,
We pray for you tonight.

A winter day,
Kids on their way,
They told their parents 'Bye.'
This season of
The Prince of Peace,
Why did they have to die?

And in harsh rounds
Of gunshots,
So many children fell.
That madman turned
A time of Peace
Into a time of Hell.

I cannot comprehend
The loss those families
Mourn and grieve.
Oh little town
Of Sandy Hook,
Your nation mourns with thee.
