Words
Silent night, deadly rain
Bullets fly, target found
innocence lost, falling down
body limp, soul set free
wondering why this had to be
missing you hear
your smiling face
now you’re gone
that better place
wish I had the words to say
to comfort those
who have to pay
left in debt
we know the cost
missing loved ones we have lost
About this poem
An innocent life lost to a senseless drive by shooting.
