Why do folk die sooner than expected? (Poem)

Why do folk die sooner than expected? In my eyes were the tears indeed that I was crying Amid as asking God why it was that I was now dying Crying those tears bitterly but yet not for myself But for my family partner soon left all by them self Why does God allow us some folk that will marry? To also fall in love have children and yet tarry When it’s said he knows their future every day It’s all mapped out and planned in every way If he knew folk were dying before they’d lived life Without marriage and love there’d be less strife Less strife for each partner family and kids it seems Instead of seeing all hopes dashed as their dreams No one knows it seems why the grieving mother No one even knows why that war takes any other If they did they’d answer why a grieving wife will cry Or a Husband will shrug his shoulders and heave a sigh Death is something in the world no one understands Everyone will ever ask why as they wring their hands Why someone was taken before they’d lived life through Every person knows someone be it friend or family too I dearly wish I had the answer to help you grieving mother As every person in the world grieving for some other But for now amid the central years of my very own life God has decided he wants me gone, left my family strife If I could I would tell you, tell one and all across the world I’d be back as an Angel with wings beautifully unfurled Yet God in his infinite Wisdom will one day tell us all Why each person was taken soon why our tears did fall I know this does not help anyone immediately understand Though the one’s they’ve lost reach out from heaven their hand But in my last and final days of life I pray you find the way To know and believe as I do, you’ll see them again one day Pen name Christopher Robin Copyright Registration TXu 1-598-108
