Sandy Hook Elementary School
Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around
9:38
When 20 beautiful children stormed
through Heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious; their
laughter filled the air.
They could hardly believe all the beauty
they saw there.
They were filled with such joy; they
didn't know what to say.
They remembered nothing of what had
happened earlier that day.
"Where are we?" asked a little
girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is heaven,” declared a small
boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house".
When what to their wondering eyes did
appear,
But Jesus, their Savior, the children
gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they
smiled just the same.
Then He opened His arms and He called
them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only
Heaven can bring
Those children all flew into the arms of
their King.
And as they lingered in the warmth of His
embrace,
One small girl turned and looked at
Jesus' face.
And as if He could read all the questions
she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll
take care of Mom and Dad."
Then He looked down on Earth, at the
world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and
woe.
Then He closed His eyes and He
outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter
this land!
May this country be delivered from the
hands of fools
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm
taking back my schools! "
Then He and the children stood up without
a sound.
"Come now my children let me show
you around. "
Excitement filled the space, some skipped
and some ran.
All displaying enthusiasm that only a
small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out
of sight,
"In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL
THE LIGHT."
