Mommy.. Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack.
Mommy, I was a good girl, I did What I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold!
But Mommy, when I went school that day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go, But Mommy, please don't cry.
When Johnny shot the gun, He hit me and another,
And all because Johnny, Got the gun from his older brother.
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love him very much,
And please tell Chris; my boyfriend; That it wasn't just a
crush.
And tell my little sister; That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother; I'll be waiting for her
now,
And tell my wonderful friends; That they always were the best;
Mommy, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest.
Mommy, tell my teachers; I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this, And please don't let this pass.
Mommy, why'd it have to be me? No one deserves this,
Mommy, warn the others, Mommy I left without a kiss.
And Mommy tell the doctors; I know they really did try,
I think I even saw a doctor, Trying not to cry.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying, With a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy please remember, I'm in heaven with the rest.
Mommy I ran as fast as I could,
When I heard that crack, Mommy, listen to me if you would,
I wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things that were new,
I guess I'm not ! ! going with Daddy, On that trip to the new zoo.
I wanted to get married, I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress, Mommy, I wanted to live.
But Mommy I must go now, The time is getting late,
Mommy, tell my Chris, I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date.
I love you Mommy, I always have, I know; you know it's true,
And Mommy all I wanted to say is, "Mommy, I love you."

As I read this my heart feels very heavy. I wish so hard that things like this did not happen. The world we live in can be such a scary place and when we or our kids are not even safe at school and places you think they will be okay it makes me feel very lost..depressed....angry even. There are so many things I feel when I read this, I just cannot seem to find the words to describe it properly. I wish so hard that kids would find other options then sensless killing. The kids that do this kind of thing must be so messed up inside and I feel angry that it gets to the stage they think that doing things like that is their only option...it solves nothing, yet creates pain, and suffering for so many.

That is so heart wrenching. It's so sad that these kinds of things happen in this world. For someone to shoot innocent children is just horrible. I hope that your message is spread to many many people. Thank you so much for posting this. I am definitely going to pass it on.
