Sandy Hook Call To Love Poem by Michael Burch

Sandy Hook Call to Love
by Michael R. Burch

Our hearts are broken today
for our children's small bodies lie broken;
let us gather them up, as we may,
that the truth of our Love may be spoken;
then, when we have put them away
to nevermore dream or be woken,
let us think of the living, and pray
for true Love, not some miserable token,
to command us, for strength to obey.

Note: The first line came from President Obama's speech in which he wiped away tears as he discussed the Sandy Hook killings.
