a message of hope from Texas

To all Hokies past and present, and all the families and friends of the those whose lives were lost on April 16, 2007. My heart goes out to all of you and yall are in my thoughts and prayers. I just graduated from college a year ago, and this event fell fresh on my heart. I believe God gave me these words to share with you, and I pray that a Hokie will discover a melody to put with these words, that a beautiful tribute might arise. May God grant yall peace and comfort as you brave each new day from here on out.

We March On

So many deaths
In such a short time
The grief and the heartache
Is burning inside
Beautiful life
Has been taken away
We stand here in shock
In utter dismay

We march on as Hokies
We march on as one
Though this great tragedy
Won't soon be undone
We cling to each other
United we stand
Hokies move forward
Hand in hand

The sun has gone down
On many young lives
And ended the stories
That were filled with good times
Their memories we honor
For their families we pray
And march on as Hokies
To brave a new day

We march on as Hokies
We march on as one
Though this great tragedy
Won't soon be undone
We cling to each other
United we stand
Hokies move forward
Hand in hand

We cling to each other
United we stand
Hokies move forward
Hand in hand

-In memory of all those lost on April 16, 2007.
