Vegas Strong!

by Wanda Bulmer

It happened in the desert,
while love songs filled the air.

It’s a day etched in our memory,
which changed so many lives.

When a gunman filled with hate,
tried to steal our joy and peace.

Evil sometimes surrounds us,
but goodness will prevail.

We must all work together,
to make our country strong!

Can we erase all the violence?
To create a world without such pain.

Are we willing to see this vision?
A world united in its love.

When ordinary folks became heroes,
on that awful day, it’s true.

We must protect the future,
by standing Vegas strong!
