We are all born innocent

Happy Boys and Girls

But then one day

Our innocence is ripped away


We all learn how horrible life can be

We then fall to our knees

Begging our God

Don’t take the one I love


Don’t let them die

I can’t say goodbye

But if you must

Let me join them today in Heavenly above

We ask, “How could a Loving Creator be a Divine Traitor!”


Love lost can be a parent Mom or Dad

Son or Daughter

Brother or Sister


The loss felt can drive one mad

We ask The Holy Divinity

“Make sense of this loss?”

Only silence no explanation

For this horrible emotional cost


Then one day we come to realize

The joyous gift of life

Is paid for by all of us

By experiencing Death’s Strife


God’s Gift of Love in this life and the next

Comes at a price

Which we all have to pay

To pass God’s Love Test
