It’s ok mommy, I’m here

Child’s words, comfort given

Congress silence, no reaction

It’s ok mommy, I’m here

Fear, despair, words are broken

Strength, in death, desperation

It’s ok mommy, I’m here

Rise for silence, action halted

Prayers offered, solutions falter

It’s ok mommy, I’m here

Congress rises, call for silence, adjourn again

Children witness, children weep, children call

It’s ok mommy, I’m here

Silence
