I will not pretend to imagine
I will not pretend to understand
I will not pretend to know
I will remember
I will pray
I will plead with God
I will ask Him why
I will remain silent
For moments throughout my day
Souls
Lost
Souls
Loved
Souls
Learning
Souls still growing
Chasing each other on playgrounds
Fighting over seats in the cafeteria
Causing teachers headaches
Making teachers laugh
Turning their tests upside down after finishing them
And raising their hands to use the restroom
Just so they could walk the halls
Because sitting in plastic chairs gets old quickly
Missing the bus in the morning
Barely making it to school on time
Turning in homework assignments
And running laps around the gym
Souls
Loved
Souls
Lost
There is no back to normal
In the aftermath
There is no moment grief doesn't touch
In the aftermath
There is no amount of understanding that brings relief
In the aftermath
There is still life
In the aftermath
One that will necessitate
Utter dependence
On our Holy King
Oh please Holy King
Save us from this wickedness
Snatch us from the pain of earthly things
Hold us tight
Hold us near
In the aftermath
