"Know the Signs"
A warm sunny day in Florida,
the kind that makes you feel better
but the day quickly changes
into a day full of terror
The brutality of it makes me sick
seventeen dead and fourteen injured
the nation feels the impact of this,
leaving families broken and a day to remember
Everyone lifes to say they're a hero
willing to die for a brother
but when the time comes we'll see where you stand
if you'd give your life for another
Its people like this that saved many lives
people like Aaron Feis and Scott Beigal
Feis shielded 3 girls and Beigal locked a room full of kids
saving them all though their actions were fatal
The horrible videos on the media cannot be erased
nor can the memores of this horrible time
Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, it stays
and people stess the need to "Know the Signs"

A sad day for the nation that originates in Parkland. I know nothing anyone does can bring back the dead and put back together the pieces of the broken families. No amount of condolences, letters, or anything from anyone will fix that but it will show we care so i have written this poem for the families that lost.
