A tribute to the victims of Newtown, Connecticut

Come, dear child and hold my hand;
Right beside you I will stand.
You are safe today from harm;
I will hold you in my arms.
Come, dear child and hold my hand;
Right beside you I will stand.

You have heard about those children;
Seen them crying on TV.
Seen their parents rush to the school house, 
Hoping that their child they’d see.        
There was screaming, sirens wailing,
Children running, parents running.  

Now the crazy time is over,
Th’ angry man is dead and gone
You are safe right here with your loved ones,
Building trust has now begun.
I will listen to your questions,
I will be there list’ning, list’ning.
