Why God, Why?

by Bryan   Aug 16, 2004


Dear God,
My name is Jake.
And just next week,
I'll turn eight.

I'm having this problem,
That's why I'm writing this letter.
Cause I hope when you read it,
You'll make everything better.

I stay up all night,
And I just cry.
So I have a few questions,
So maybe you can tell me why......

Why God, why,
Does Daddy hit Mommy?
Even though she's always crying,
And she always says she's sorry.

Are they playing,
Like they do on T.V.?
Or are they fighting,
Because of me?

Daddy lost his job,
And his nights are full of booze.
Now my teacher is asking me,
About my bruises.

I know me and Mommy,
Don't deserve this life.
So why God, why?
It just gets so sad,
I wish I could die.
Why God, why?

P.S.
I know when you read this,
You'll make everything great.
Please help me and Mommy,
Love, Jake.

    wow the way you have communicated your point of view in words is amazing - to speak from the innocent eyes of a child in this sort of situation would be extremely difficult but you did a great job - added purity with the letter to god touched my heart even deeper well done you have a wonderful talent thanks for sharing

    If this peom does'nt tug at your heart strings, you have no heart. The saddest part is there have been, will be, and are alot of true Jake stories. Excellent write dude.
