As I watched the documentary “Gunned Down”, I heard Mark Kelly (Gabby Gifford’s husband), talk about seeing Gabby lying in the hospital bed as a single, bloody red tear fell down her cheek. A bloody red tear
Slid down her cheek On a hospital bed She lay frail and weak. Shot in the head Attempted assassination A victim of violence That shocked our nation. Six others were killed Including Judge Roll And a 9 yr old girl, A beautiful soul. These innocent lives Were taken away, Mental illness had caused His mind to decay Jared Lee Loughner Sentenced to life in prison Gabby Giffords made gun reform Her one major mission. If only our leaders Had passed legislation Before it happened So as to avoid this situation And yet here we are With no laws to protect us While we wait for the next Attack that’s horrendous http://www.starpulse.com/gabrielle-giffords-inside-her-courageous-recovery-from-an-assassinatio-1848206809.html
