Tears of Love
An infant born from seeds of love,
Tragically taken on the wings of the dove.
The tears of love fall from those that mourn,
A parent cries for the precious life once born.
The love of the child untainted simple and pure.
A Divine message from the Lord,
To embrace the future
A gift to explore.
The young soul carries the torch
Of eternal light.
And should be protected as a right.
A child so pure a human so adored.
The tears of love fall from those that mourn,
A parent cries for the life they’ve born.
Release in this night,
Love for the one you hold,
Give back the spirit,
To be cherished within God’s fold.
The tears of love fall from those that mourn
A town cries for the children they born.
Your pain so bound to the dirt and sky,
Will bring you closer to the reason why.
It is the time to ignite the light,
And turn to God instead of fight.
Allow the pain of lose and grief
To release your spirit
From the chains of disbelief.
The tears of love fall from those that mourn
The world cries for the children adorn.
Empty arms and a heart that aches
Will bring grace in its wake.
A child has left us alone and scared
A child has died within our care.
The tears of love fall from those that mourn
A parent cries for the precious life they’ve born.
I started this poem after the shooting in Newtown Connecticut in honor of the children and adults who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This week I finished this poem and again we have just witnessed violence in Boston taking the life of a child and two adults. This poem is for all, here in America, and around the world who die from violence at the hands of another. We are all God’s children, we are all entitled to live and love within the light. It is no human’s right to take a life.
God Is I Am 
Mary, I love the way you delivered the message in your poem! I cry every time a child is lost or even more when anyone passes away…i feel we are all a part of each other’s life essence and spirit! Your poem is so much a reflection of your heart…it is beautiful and sad, and yet so beautifully real! God bless!
Thank you Wendell, Over my 30 years as a nurse I have been with hundreds of children and adults at death. I agree we are all connected and I am honored to share in their transition. Violent deaths such as Newtown and Boston are void of Divine Love. I pray for those who were affected by the events everyday. And I also pray for the souls who lost sight of the Divine Presence in their life and committed these acts. They too are Loved by God but made the choice to turn from the light and love God offers. Namaste, mary
