WHY

WRITTEN ON: SEPTEMBER 8, 2007

As i stood in the parking lot as i spoke to my dad
he said baby, your papa is laid to rest.
i cried my eyes out and said, "no this can't be true"
i cried and yelled to God asking him why did it have to be you.

my daddy said that it was time for you go
he said, you were hurting and
you couldn't hold on no more
he said God had to take your life
and move you to heavens doors.

my heart shattered into pieces as you just laid there
with no words to speak
lying there without even a heart beat.
crying to to God as i kept asking him why
wondering why God had to take your life.

your body so pale, so cold and so alone.
i cried out for you and said "no, you can't go.
uncle jeff had to tell me, baby just let him go.
papa, needs to rest now, he needs to be at peace
nothing they said made it sound at ease.

i needed to tell you something
that i never to got say
i love you so much and you mean so much to me
and that you've been my greatest inspiration till this day.
most of all you're my hero.

PLS. COMMENT & LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANK YOU!
