    I really felt though I were lost with them, hearing their screaming!!
    Like any parent, I can feel nothing emulates their parents' sadness. That's so sorrowful dedication to those buds and flowers (Angels on Earth). This really took my heart away. May they rest in peace.
    Simple but great piece.

    A really powerful dedication, a piece with the gentleness of childfen yet heartache of fear.

    My heart goes out to families and friends and those who this tragedy has affected...awful stuff that happens.

    You wrote a perfect piece here...a true sadness is evident.

    Such a touching peice Andrea. I am not a mother but I could only imagine that unbareable pain. You really put into words what so many of us couldn't. Send them prayers and more prayers!!

    Andrea, this was absolutely heartbreaking and you bring so much pain into your poem....these tiny and growing lives should not have been separated, forced to leave, taken in a second. What a tribute, this came straight from the soul and I can only offer my prayers too.....your words held so much emotion- especially the descriptions that I know will be haunt many.

    This has affected everyone in some way or another. The death of a child is always hard to deal with be it due to war or accidental but when it comes to sensless murder in mass proportions it is unbearable and totally unacceptable.

    I never thought of their little souls wandering around looking for their parents...broke my heart to think of it so, you have taken a different spin on it which was very creative.

    I'd love to say I enjoyed this read Andrea for it's very well written but...I think we both wish there was no need to write of such a thing...

    I saw Hellon's comment on this after adding her to my favourite authors, and again, this poem also has me in tears. Again, a moving tribute, and I'm going to come back to this one also once I'm not crying about it.
