A Tale Of Two Mothers - Reflections of Connecticut

Today somewhere in Newmarket

A mother just like me

Is searching for a special box

To place beneath a tree

The box is for her child

Who will wait expectantly

To open it on Christmas Day

Wonderin' what it could be

This season is a special time

For friends and families

We gather with our loved ones

And make new memories
We share our gifts and celebrate
With joy and laughter too
And join our hearts together to pray
For peace, the whole world though

 

And now somewhere in Newtown

A mother just like me

Is searching for a special box

To place beneath a tree

The box is for her child

A casket it will be

To bury her beloved

In the Newtown cemetery

For what should be a special time

For friends and family

Is replaced by pain and sorrow

Through this senseless tradgedy

We cannot comprehend their loss
Or what they're going through

But families all around the world
In part, are suffering too.

 

 

 

 

May the God of all peace and comfort, draw especially close

 to the families of Newtown, Connecticut this Christmas.
