Tears of an Angel

Listening to todays headlines was daunting. The poor Lunsford family in Florida realizing every parents nightmare. The hope of hearing a missing childs voice again is gone. As a parent I think we just love our children without much thought until danger approaches. It is amazing the capacity of compassion most people have within with the contrast of dark that surrounds us at times. Many lives are altered by such a inane decision.I don't believe can even image what would drive a person to this behavior. Even this empathizer finds it difficult to understand.The only this man has going for him is he gave up when he knew it was done. He could of denied this and we could of had a long drug out trial. I am thankful that he put this on the road to closure though to be honest I am not sure how closure is obtained in a situation as this. I am hoping justice is fair and swift and the Lunsfords pain and suffering is healed with time and love.

Tears of an angel fall sweetly to the earth

A dark image smeared their worth

The pain seared so deeply by the hate it caused

The frantic search for reason goes on without pause

Some are found but all seems lost

Fist shake upwards there is no calculating cost

Life is precious and so dear

So parents hold your children near
