Why Cry


He cried so why should I

And yet he still died

Circumstances remained the same

Yet people pray to him hoping things will change

But not I

I refuse to drown within my sorrows

House gone..

Car gone..

Friends gone..

Dad gone..

But why cry

What will these salty tears change

Why cry

When everything surrounding me seems to change like seasons

Everything , everybody fades away and die

Where’s  reason?

Lord Jesus help me!, I just don’t understand

Why cry!

Getting hopes up when they always fail

I could have so many tears

Enough to fill any tin pale

When a mother cant provide for her family

And the father turns a death ear

to the fact.. that his children is

Wondering where their next meal is at

Why must I be that child..

Why should I wear a frown ..

Or allow even one tear to fall down

I refuse to drown

Here is where I lay my burdens down

The crying stops now
