THEY WERE PRAYING.
They were sitting in pews.
Heads bowed, the littlest legs dangling.
Precious hands fidgeting with nerves and excitement and energy.
It was the first week back, the first Mass of the school year.
Bullets shattering the stained glass window panes,
Raining down on them.
On CHILDREN.
OUR CHILDREN.
We have lost our soul, America.
THEY
WERE
PRAYING.
