WHY?
Why must my heart keep grieving,
Why do I feel so alone?
Why did you take my loved one God,
Why couldn't she stay at home?
Why did she have to feel pain,
Why did she have to die?
Why can't I go to sleep at night,
Why do I have to cry?
'My child,' said God, 'please understand,
I know your grief runs deep,
I've heard your many questions
In your prayers before you sleep;
I promised all eternity,
No death shall shadow you,
Your loved one dwells with me above,
Up in those skies so blue;
She lives with me in Heaven,
This place is her real home,
Her time on earth was through,
She learned to love, I called her home.
Your loved one is an Angel now,
Watching closely over thee,
There is no fear or pain up here,
Her soul is roaming free.
I let your loved one visit you
As you lie down in your bed,
She holds your hand and helps you pray
And gently strokes your head.
So please stop asking why she left
And dry your weary eyes,
For she is safe from harm on earth
With me, in the Heavenly skies.'
