Why did you have to die

by skiba   Dec 7, 2003


I remember the night
the night you left the earth
you left so unexpectedly
why was this the time you had to die
all the joy you brought into our lives
all the times we spent with you
little did we know
that this would be the day you die

I remember all the good times
the good times and the bad
how they touched our lives
in ways we cant describe
your presence was a gift to us
a gift that was from God
He has taken his gift back from us
why oh why oh why
we try to think about the times
the times that we had fun
but all that we can think of
why was this the time you had to die

but we have the memories
these we should hold high
we have our loved ones now
the ones we should hold close
but now it comes the time
the time to say goodbye
the word I wished I’d never say to you
but here it is
goodbye

-in loving memory of Bill Skiba 1960-2003
