In A Field Of Daisies

by Deana   Apr 21, 2007


Dedicated to the families of the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre.

I walked in a field of daisies
Lifted my hands to the sky
It was there I prayed for the families
It was there I knelt to cry.

I could hear the mothers' anguish
The fathers' stories left untold
Young people gunned down on campus
Before their futures began to unfold

A mixed up angry soul
Preying on the innocent ones
No one there could save them
From a madman with a gun

What is the answer
Where does it end
Where does one find comfort
In a world so filled with sin

I wish I knew the words to speak
To somehow ease their pain
But what do you say to a mother
Whos' child has just been slain

I walked in a field of daisies
Lifted my hands to the sky
Not a single solution could I find
So I just knelt there to cry.

    I love how it maintained a serene atmosphere throughout the piece. It was very heartrending to read. I guess all I can do is hope for those innocent souls to rest in peace...

    Thank you for sharing.
