I Remember Columbine...

I remember Columbine, the nation stunned by two boys who had death on their mind.
Ten years ago today, another part of our innocence was lost.

I remember Columbine, the media rushing to be the first with the exclusive interview.
Ten years ago today, another senseless act of violence occurred.

I remember Columbine, the teacher who perished just doing his job.
Ten years ago today a mother wept the loss of her son.

I remember Columbine, the child who was asked if she believed in God before being shot.
Ten years ago today a father discovered his son was a murderer.

Don't ever let the world forget what happens when someone fills with too much rage.
Don't ever let the world forget what happened to innocent people on that day.
Don't ever let the world forget the importance of family connection.
Don't ever let the world forget that we never know when our life will end.

I remember Columbine... do you?
