All my beautiful children...

They brushed their teeth and got dressed
Bags packed and homework done
Bright eyes
And glorious smiles 
With feet that smelled like angels 
All my beautiful children...

Dreaming of great things to learn
Wishing upon a star
Sweet hearts
And soft hands
With voices like the sound of God's grace
All my beautiful children...

Swift the darkness did descend
Rattle of gunfire, smell of blood and then
Silence
And disarray
Like shattered pearls they lay
All my beautiful children...
