Why?

by RavishingEruption   Jun 26, 2008


Why do You want to take him?
He's barely seen his 19th year
Why do You want to take him home?
We're not finished with him here

He's a brother, friend, and confidant
He's funny, smart, and kind
Why do You want to take him away
And make him leave us all behind.

I know I'm not to question You
Our lives are in Your will
You're the Alpha and Omega
The King of Kings but still....

You've got all Your angels
So what if You're missing one?
What if we need him more?
What if his work is still not done?

Why would You want to take away
Someone loved on Earth so much?
So I'm asking You tonight,
Please send him Your healing touch

Why did You make him so amazing
Just so You could take him away?
Please leave him here with us
In Your name, I pray

Amen.

    Very well written
    i love the second to last stanza
    it really reaches out to god, to ask for help
    overall 5/5

    Excellent work, gave that true sense of an unexpected, unfair event occuring to someone good. Too many times the bad walk on in life good but the good face the worst of the world, and in this case, the potential end. Keep on writing look forward to future works from you, 5/5.

    Although i have no belief in Him i wish to tell you that it was very heart touching and hope that who ever this person in distress is i wish them health and recovery.
