Fear & Faith


Fear & Faith

January 20, 2013

 

If I had one gun,
I would never run.
And if I was there,
I wouldn't be scared.

To shoot a child
Is no action mild.
There's another way,
Or there's Hell to pay

How can I see
God working for me?
When evil shoots
And a demon loots?

To hold my boy,
I'm filled with joy;
Unless its said
He is now dead.

Are you here God?
It feels so odd.
For faith to trust
Yet now I must.

 I hosted poetry contest on Allpoetry.com called, “Growing Through Tragedy" following the 12/14/12 Sand Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, CT.  I chose to express my own feelings on this as well as invite others to express their feelings..
