Why?


Many questions were asked.

None were answered.

No one knows why.

You sleep in a wooden box

Where you have the answer to all of our questions.

As names were signed.

Others were denying.

 

You left so suddenly.

A mother and father cry a river.

A river flowing so fast.

One who is left with the biggest question.

The same question everyone asks.

Everything seemed normal.

Trees blooming.

The bees were buzzing.

The breeze drifting on by.

 

A stormy night came along.

The thunder sounded like cannons were being fired

The rain fell tears of sorrow...

Waiting for a tragic to happen.

Morning came.

 

The day we mourn.

No one expected you to be gone.

Although, you were determined to leave.

 

Why?
