MY TRIBUTE TO THE MOTHERS OF  TWO YOUNG BOYS
By: Judy M. Dykes

The Sun has set on 2 more lives and now we must pray!

How we pray that we could reverse this horrible event and return

the normalcy to this community and to your lives! How we pray for each family of each victim!

But in reality, everyone there was a victim. They shall now be afraid and nervous;

but most of all they will need our prayers that they will be able to continue with

their lives and continue to love the people of their community.

We pay tribute here to the two young men who lost their lives , their families

and to the 13 people who were injured.

The victims must never be forgotten. 

We must find an answer to why some of our young people are so angry

and why they want to hurt others out of that anger. I fully believe in my heart that it is a

spiritual problem.   A feeling of not being loved, of being lost in a big world, of being hurt, of 

wanting to strike out at something or somebody!   We have to find a way of  knowing  when

this might occur and then alert people around us that may not see it.

God Be With Us!

On a Monday we would hear
That the shots in Columbine would not die there
So our hearts will wonder why

God amongst us, God of hope
We can't understand our world of so much pain
Santana needs You now

Breathe for the world who gapes in fear
For the country who looks on and sees the open wounds of youth
Pray for the city who asks why
For the school that heard the cries
And the mothers who went home without their sons

Though the images might stay
In our pain we search for God to heal our land
Santana needs You now

Breathe for the world who gapes in fear
For the country who looks on and sees the open wounds of youth
Pray for the city who asks why
For the school that heard the cries
And the mothers who went home without their sons

Santana needs You now
Santana.cling to each other
Santana.our hearts reach out to you.
