God Bless The Children Poem by Holly Jamestone

God Bless The Children



God bless the tiny children
Who have died in this ordeal
May they never know the hatred
That a killer's heart must feel

Bless their gentle innocence
The lives they could have had
Their hopes, their dreams, their families
And those now feeling sad

Bless those who survive them
Who have risked the lives they know
To rescue all the stranded
And the injured from their woe

God bless our country's leader
Give him strength to help us all
To get beyond the anger
Of this ugly, rigid wall

And, God, please bless the wicked
Cleanse their hearts, their souls today
True 'humans' don't kill others
Or take precious life away

In Memory of the Fallen of the
Oklahoma City Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Oklahoma City Bombing was an unspeakable act of terrorism on American soil perpetrated by another American. I was working behind the scenes in television at the time and wrote this poem for catharsis. I sent it to President Bill Clinton and included it with his response to me in my book 'POET - A Glimpse Into Our World Through The Eyes of a Poet.' The book is unpublished as of the date of this writing, though it is copyrighted and next in line for something big in my life. Thank you for reading my work and embracing its message! Sincerely, -hollyJ
