For the Parents of Columbine 

Who have lost their children in the recent senseless tragedy there.

To all the brothers and the sisters who have forever lost their loved one.

To all the boyfriends and girlfriends

Who have lost the friendship and the love they shared.

How it can happen so near our hearth and home

We've heard of it happening to others before

But this time it was at America's backdoor.

Nestled next to the mountains, the rivers and the streams,

The land of the Rockies in God's country

Of clean air and sunshine

A place of peace and tranquility

In a moment of time

All of these dreams were shattered

In the tragedy of Columbine

How could a place so peaceful, so quiet, and so serene

Be the target of such violence,

Of such senseless murderings?

It had happened once before,

Near a beautiful peaceful garden

Just a little ways outside of Eden's door

Where two young sons,

The children of Adam and Eve

Did come into mortal combat

As the first innocent child was slain

How your hearts must grieve

For the warmth and the love

Of the child that you bore

A child so full of life and love,

A child you and your loved ones adored

Like a nightmare, an endless dream

How can these things be happening, you say to me?

Many of you have closely known the God of truth

And have walked in his pathways divine

You have raised your young ones to know the Lord

And have visited his temple with them many a time

What have I done?

To deserve such sorrow, in the death of my beloved one?

Wasn't there something that I could have foreseen?

Why wasn't I warned by someone

How can this be happening?

By these two young lads for weeks on end

They say that they wanted to commit this ghastly deed

On the birthday of one whom the whole world does disdain

How can this be happening?

Not to my child, God, the one that you gave to me.

No, no, say it isn't so

Please oh please,

Tell me you have found her, she is safe,

and you're bringing her home unto me.

I wish this were a dream

That this was all in your imagination

That these things were not happening

I'm sorry, my loved one,

To say that it is true

The unthinkable, undreamable, is happening to you

A precious offering has been given unto Me

For each and every one of these innocent lambs

Is a child that I cherish and forever now they will reside here with Me

So, try to find some peace and tender sleep

For your loved ones are in my presence

Living in my love for eternity

Or attend great halls of learning as in your college days,

For indeed their schooling will continue on

They'll continue to live in heaven above

For they live not just in your memories on earth,

But their spiritual lives are very much alive here with Me

And Mine Angels, and scholars and learned men and women of God

Have much to share with these;

They will pass on their learnings

Just think of the teachers that your loved one will now see

The great thinkers of the ages, and the spiritual ones throughout eternity

Getting the answers to questions,

You only dreamed of being able to ask Me

Like, what about Noah's ark upon the sea,

And the story of Adam and Eve

The great dinosaurs that have been found on land

How really did life on earth all begin?

For grandma's and grandpas, uncles and aunts

Reaching back into the lineage of your families past

Did meet your loved ones with opened arms near heaven's gate

They are receiving hugs and kisses;

And are surrounded by lots of love

As their journey from earth to heaven they did make

Fret no longer my sons,

For that child whom in your own way you did worship

Has come home to reside in the bonds of love

He lives now in a place where there are no guns or bombs

Only peace and love and heavenly songs

And they will continue to grow and much more they will know

They'll even have a thing or two

That they will want to share with you

When you yourselves do come and find your eternal resting-place

When you yourselves do enter in to those pearly gates,

You'll see a smiling face

One that's been wiped clean of all of the pain and tears

And soon you too will know

The joy of heavenly life without anymore fears

But, not in the way that I planned or designed to take place

For the spirit of Cain does indeed still run rampant in the world these days

Until the kingdom of My Son is established

It shall always be this way

Let me wipe away your tears and hold you as you sleep

And know that your loved one is here, close and safe with Me

He resides now with the Angels in peace for eternity

Though the days and the hours will pass slowly at first

Know that time does heal the wounds inside

Someday soon you'll make it through the day without having tears in your eyes

But seek out my Ables, my Seths, and Marys

For there are still the good ones left in the world,

There are still the ones of whom heaven does herald

But look with your heart and you will see

The millions, yes millions around the world who are weeping now with thee

You, oh you are not alone

In your time of pain and suffering

For this day, the whole world has been touched by your pain and your grief

As it was in the passing of England's Princess of the Windsor family

When the whole world felt such pain and agony

Once again an outpouring of grief and love

Has been bestowed upon a city in bouquets of flowers and notes of love

Once again the whole world has cried deep cries

As the life of her young ones has been taken before its time

Know that once again will come the time and the day of knowing

Happiness and inner peace

Know that all is well with your loved one now residing with Me

I'll take the very best of best care of your child

They will live out dreams beyond their wildest dreams

And know that someday they will return to walk the paths of earth again

When I do send my Son down to earth as the Everlasting King

To reign upon the planet as the one true Prince of Peace

They'll be at His side and at thine

Oh, I have wonderful things planned and designed

That many more wonderful things they will come to know

And with their Heavenly God Father as father

Their lives will be full and complete

And from time to time I will share with them

Good news from the earth below

So rest now and know you haven't lost a child,

But gained a "heavenly angel"

For with the Angels as their eternal guardians

They will grow and mature into fine lords and ladies

Rest now my child;
