Asking why

by Chelsea   May 22, 2007


The memories are shooting from head to toe
waiting to understand why he had to let you go
why he had to put you way up above
and leave the family standing alone.

He took you up there for some reason
trying to figure the reason why is making my head spin,
making me shed tears because i was your little angel
but making me smile since I will see you one day again.

People wonder why i still grieve over the loss of you
all i can tell them is " if you lost your father what would you do? "
no one understands the pain i feel everyday
trying to figure out the reason why you had to end our play.

All i ask the lord above is, " why did you take him away? "
trying to tell myself that it is all a dream
but this dream must be never ending
since its been so long with out you.

I remember you rubbing my back
holding me tight when i was sad
the bike rides we used to take
but most of all i remember the brown eyes i would see.

Its been 8 years since you left me
trying to figure out where the time went
how was it so long ago
as i sit there a try and talk to you.

Your up above and not coming back
so i long for the day where you will be mine again
where we will together again till the end
and my life will be full because I will be with you.

    Hun,

    Are you okay? That was heartbreaking... I can't imagine the pain you go through due to losing your dad. If I lost my dad, I'd be a complete wreck.
