My daughter wrote this as her way of handling the Tech tragedy. I think
she said what a lot of us have trouble expressing. She gave me
permission to share it.

__The Unexpected__

Students sitting in a class
Listening to the teacher's facts.
They thought it was a normal day
Nothing different, no disarray.
Suddenly happy thoughts are retired
as a gunman came in and fired.
Panic struck like a lightening bolt.
They searched and searched who was at fault.
He'd already gone out the door.
His whereabouts they were not sure.
Dreams shattered forevermore,
innocent bodies lifeless on the floor.
32 lives stolen away.
A single man took them that pointless day.
His own life also gone.
Reality crashed down like an atomic bomb.
What could have made him cause that fright?
We all know it just isn't right.
Such a sad way to break the silence.
They say expect the unexpected...
I say just end the violence.
