Why?

Why?



I cry and cry

For crying is a must,

That necessary release valve

We need,

In which we all do trust.

For Death although it seems unfair

Tis a must to God and all held dear

For nothing lasts forever, true

But feelings hurt as eyes

Shed tears.

No mortal has a right

To live forever

Day and night

We all must die for life is fair

Each one blessed

A different length

Is it luck

Or fate depressed.

Be you young

Or be you old

Your future comes

A story told

When it ends the darkness falls,

Those left listen to sombre songs

Buy cotton hankies

White and strong

Each and every family touched

That hand of fate

Can be too much,

But all are equal in the end

The air we breathe is stopped my friend.

Time to leave

A time to die

A time to sit and cry and cry.

For all of us sweet sorrow parts,

The love the hope a wishful soul

A crying mind a broken heart

That empty feeling,

Gaping hole.

The tearful eye a baleful sob

All emotions felt are raw

The Reapers only doing his job.

The love of God you find a need

The power of prayer in which you heed

It does all help but then you sigh,

For Man is born to live then die

So you sit and cry and cry

Then offer up the question

             Why?
