Why

People say that time is guaranteed to heal everything.

Yet, it's been nearly twenty five years now..

and the pain still runs to the very core of my being.

Why do people lie? Why?



I know you didn't want to leave..

If given a choice you would have stayed.

I know you're no longer hurting..

enjoying a paradise I can not see.

I still find myself at times asking God..

"Why?! Why did you take him from me??!!"



Some may think I'm stupid for what I feel inside...

The day you passed away, a part of me also died.

I've often asked The Lord, "Why? Why were my children denied?"



They should have had the pleasure of having

a papaw as wonderful as only you could be.

Why? Why weren't they given the chance to be

as honored and blessed as me?
