Sandy Hook Elementary Tribute
By: Beverly Kay (Exline) Powell (Former Ridgewood graduate)
A tragedy did occur
That fateful Friday morn
No one saw it coming
No one was forewarned
Out the door so quickly
A kiss and a hug or two
Have lots of fun at school dear
Remember I love you
So many lives affected
The world is flooding with tears
The survivors will try to learn
How to live with their fears
Those of us who believe
In the Heavenly Father above
Will be questioned about our faith
Questioned about God’s love
Where was that loving God
That you claim is so great
Why didn’t he stop this
From becoming their fate
I believe my Heavenly Father
Was with each of them that day
With his loving arms around them
To heaven he showed them the way
He was within each of the teachers
And within the first responders too
To keep them calm and able
To do the job they needed to do
A tragedy of this magnitude
Will never ever go away
Families were changed forever
They will be reminded every day
Have faith in my Heavenly Father
And as a nation let’s show that we care
This tragedy will not be healed with money
But can be with the power of prayer
