Andy & I recently went to the 10 anniversary memorial for Columbine. Because we have lived in Littleton all of our lives and graduated from Columbine ourselves this school is near and dear to our hearts. We knew several people who were there that day including several of our recent wedding clients. The memorial is beautiful and a lot of people from the community turned out to pay their respects.
A few of the students who were at the school that day are also musicians and here is a beautiful song they had written:
“Columbine, flower bloom, tenderly I sing to you. Columbine, roseblood red, heartbreak overflow my head.
Columbine, flower bloom. Columbine there’s hope for you.
Columbine, friend of mine. To your gain, on the mark.
With your love, love again. Comfort peace and sweet release come from you.
Where, it’s true, I hide myself in you. Can you still hear raging guns ending dreams of precious ones.
In God’s son, hope will come, his red stain will take our pain. Columbine, friend of mine.
Peace will come to you in time. Columbine, friend of mine.
Turn a page, to your gain. Keep your heart on the mark.
Comfort us with your love. Love again.
Christ of grace attend this place, we look to you. Honor you.
Fix you in our view. Columbine, flower bloom.
Tenderly I sing to you. Columbine, roseblood red, heartbreak overflows my head.
Columbine, friend of mine. Peace will come to you in time.
Columbine, friend of mine.”
Here are a few pictures from the memorial and the crazy media that was there:
