We are the petals
that bloom when
pain would have
us wither in despair.
Love gathers the broken
in its arms to strengthen,
to heal, to demonstrate
evil will not have its victory.
There is light at midnight
in comfort’s candle carried
in the hands of the compassionate.
Let peace be the miracle
that rises from the tragedy
of those who left us too soon.

For all those who have been taken
too soon by violence.
