A day of love, a day
of hearts:
Valentine's Day,
twenty eighteen.
The day started out
like any other
But ended in a
horrific scene.
Students in
Parkland, Florida,
Shared their
valentines today.
A former student
entered the school
To celebrate in a
different way.
An AR-15
assault-style rifle
Was that student's
valentine.
Killing and hurting
students and teachers
Was his version of
"Please be mine."
All it takes is a
single person
To drag a special
day through the mud.
Roses and hearts
with Cupid's arrow
Lie on the ground,
splattered with blood.
Are we failing our
people here?
When shootings
occur, we ask for prayers
Instead of taking
appropriate measures.
What a sad state of
affairs!
Most of us enjoy our
day;
Our lives return to
normal tomorrow.
Valentine's Day for
people in Parkland
Forever will be
suffused with sorrow.
