Fly High

I was sitting in school when it happened But I didn't know, not then I was driving home from school when Police were breaking down the door But I didn't know, not then I was opening my notifications when parents were being called being told that their little angels would never come home News feed: 19 children 2 adults Cobb Elementary Shot by gunman "Mentally stable" they said "Just snapped" they wrote They should have written about how somewhere out there 21 families 42 parents 84 grandparents Are being told that their angels were shot out of the sky they were going to school on a day like any other They were excited for the sleepover that night nervous for the book report angry at their siblings Then the 2 teachers, who were bored with lesson plans when they should have been teaching math like a normal day throwing themselves in front of children and here I am sitting at home on a normal day I hope those 19 children and 2 adults are reading this in heaven somewhere If you are, Hi Hi, from your cousin I love you, from your mom and dad A kiss from grandma and from me a message a poem from a girl in your state but a while away saying Fly high, angels
