"If we remember them all, then they can never leave us. Never let them go. They are waiting for us in that realm of pure blue, that mysterious place where the earth meets the sky."
Senior Jennifer Wallick, Columbine High School Graduation Ceremony, 1999
Your tragedy is our tragedy!
Your pain is our pain!
Your loss is our loss!
Your tears are our tears!
May God bless you... and God bless us all!
From A Friend I didn't know today would be your last
We just smiled in the hall as we past
It was just like every other day
I never knew it would end this way
Friends till the end is what we will be
I will prove it to you just wait and see
You are in my heart,
my soul
and with me when I pray
I will let people know what you would want to say
I will tell people about you
I will let them know of the things you do
I won't cry cause you are gone
I will blare our favorite song
I will live my life to the fullest
and live part for you cause
I know that is what you want me to do
Look over me from above
And shower me with all your love
When you're in Heaven watch for me
Wait at the golden gates till it's me
You see I had no clue that this is how it would end
But forever and always you will be my best friend.
A Student From Columbine High School
When again will it be safe
for our children to walk the halls
Not to watch our children die
and see their blood upon the walls
To make the world a safer place
for everyone to live
To teach our children everywhere
not to take away, but to give
Give us life and freedom
the happiness and joy
Not to cause pain and sorrow
to any girl or boy
Pray for every man and woman
each person you pass on the way
And for every child there is
pray each and every day
Teach our children how to be
more open, free and honest
Make our world a safer place
for every person on it
Children with seeds of anger
who have no one on which to depend
We all must reach out to our children
for the violence to end
Hold your children close to you
show all the love you have in your heart
Don't let them push you away
or anger tear you apart
Find common ground
between you and your child
To show love and caring
not the anger, the wild
When all the violence stops
and all our prayers have risen
Only then can our world be safe
and have no more tears from Heaven
A.C.Ayers-Stanley
A PARENTS PRAYER “Our heavenly father I stand before you with hands open and a heart which is filled with love so strong that it now crys with pain. For the love which was given to our children has been pulled from our heart. And all that remains is sadness and sorrow within a heart which is broken. The pieces which I bring before you I lay at your feet for only you can mend with love that which is broken. As I see the face which I gently touched with love I know that my world will never again be the same. For this child was more than part of my world for He/She was my world. The greatest and best part of my life which has now been taken away. A gift from above, a jewel, a star to light my world, someone so special that I would gladly lay down my life in exchange for theirs. And when I remember them I will shed a tear and remember much and feel their love once more. For I know that where you are she/He is and my heart both cry's and rejoices. For I know that you have prepared a place for them where they can live forever, So when I gaze up into the heavens and see their beauty then I will know how special each one of your stars are For they were the light which warmed someone world with love. And now they look down on this world and shed there light for the whole world to see. I would ask only that the love which She/He has instilled within me that I might have the ability to not only show others that love but also the same qualities with which She/He inbodyed.

Sitting, relaxing, and talking with friends
When out of the blue
Two gunmen appear,
Firing bullets, tossing bombs into the air
With a chilling delight
First at random, then in methodical madness
Students run and scream in fear
While teachers try to take control
Chaos and terror strike Columbine
And parents and families fear the worst
Not knowing how,
And not knowing why
Only knowing now that tragedy has begun
But when the smoke finally clears
And police have gone inside,
13 victims lie on the floor
Bravery, faith, compassion, athletic abilities, and race
All rewarded with premature death
All lying in cold blood for no reason at all
Lives and dreams stripped away
"To early to die", most will say
But none shall die in vain
In the hearts of the nation,
All will remain
And those two gunmen,
Merely students themselves,
Seeking revenge on their classmates
Found no way out
Turning their guns upon themselves,
They take all answers and reasons with them
And now there are 15 victims on that cold floor
Yes, tragedy has struck Columbine High School
Innocent lives and dreams shattered and lost,
But the memories will remain alive
Forever.
