 Penniluck's legacy

Sixteen Candles. (Dunblane Children)


In honour of the sixteen children who died at the hands of a madman and their brave teacher who gave her life to try and save them 20 years ago today 13/3/2016 I hope they are resting in peace.

Sixteen candles

He said, `Little children
come unto me.`
That`s what He said
and that`s where they`ll be
Holding His hand
as they climb up the stair
Sixteen bright candles
are blazing up there
Lighting the way
as they walk hand in hand
Forever with Jesus
in His promised land
With them their teacher,
who stayed by their side
Helping Lord Jesus
to teach and to guide,
Sixteen sweet children
in Heaven above,
Giving them lessons
and giving them love.

Penniluck McGinnis
