Long ago, after a school shooting
This image was posted on social media
Speaking to the loss of life, shattering of
Peace, destruction of innocence.
I know schools have made Herculean
Efforts to keep children safe
Drills, codes, safety doors, even
Stained glass is not enough.
We need to address the plethora of
Mental health needs in our society
The access to assault weapons
Of mass destruction,
Bullying, threatening and violence.
We should be celebrating the beginning of
A new year with new hopes and endless
Possibilities as well, celebrating the
Children who are the future
Yet, again we are wondering
How can we keep them safe?
