Today is the Day
Abilene Gray, age 13

Today is the day that we get on with life
Today is the day we get rid of knives
Today is the day God looks after you
Today is the day your dreams come through
Today is the day to stop acting a fool
Today is the day you play it cool.
Today is the day the gangs will meet
Let’s hope the violence and crime stay off the street.
Today is the day you will see
How many lives your taking and
How many hearts you are breaking
Today is the day God will tell you
Today is the day God will help you
Today is the day that we pray for them innocent children
Whose lives were taken away
Today is the day that we remember Jack.
Today is the day we all stick together
We put an end to this now and forever.
