Sixes and Sevens

 
This was the year they should have been walking across stage  
Caps and gowns with smiles and cheers all around  
This was supposed to be the year they were going to graduate
Instead  
We still reel over what happened on that dreadful day  
 
This was the summer they were supposed to spread their wings  
Off to adventures, like falling in love or going away on vacation  
Some would have been heading to college for higher education  
Instead  
We’re left wondering with what could have been  
 
No parent should ever have to bury a child  
Not especially under those circumstances  
We still mourn for twenty little children  
And the six adults who tried to protect them  
 
Charlotte six  
Olivia six  
Dylan six  
Daniel seven  
Madeline six  
Catherine six  
Jesse six  
Josephine seven  
Ana six  
James six  
Emilie six  
Chase seven  
Jack six  
Noah six  
Caroline six  
Grace seven  
Jessica six  
Avielle six  
Benjamin six  
Allison six  
All in heaven
