Somebody Else's Child Died


Somebody's Child Died.

All we did was say OMG to the senseless act of violence that took their life.

Somebody Else's Child Died.


And all we did was say "Again?!!!"


Somebody Else's Child Died.


All we did was say, "glad they caught the b….."


Somebody Else's Child Died.


All we did was say, "they should lock up all those crazy people"


Somebody Else's Child Died.


And we have gotten so used to it, we watch or read the news, and then go about our day, opening our Mother's Day gifts and enjoying our Mother's Day lunches.


Something that Somebody Else's Child Who Died will not be able to do.


A child of God, made in the image of God.


But oh well, they were, after all, Somebody Else's Child.

Mothers, we (our predecessors) have done it before - Mothers Against Drunk Driving.


Mothers, we can do it again - create, become, or join a force for Mothers Against Guns.
