Why Lord??

You created life with a body to hold it

You layered love with feelings to bond it

But why design death, always I ponder

And leave a restless soul, with nowhere to wander

I have a question to ask you dear lord

It might seem strange and might not strike a chord

Did you ever experience –a pull of heart feeling

Whenever you heard news, that you were most dreading

It is not easy I tell you, you just don’t have a clue

It eats you away bit by bit, always leaves a hollow in you

There will be nobody to fill it in, the little void in my heart

You wouldn’t know, would you? You never had anybody depart

Have you ever felt, tears rolling down?

Have you ever seen the pain in which we drown?

It shatters us to pieces and breaks us apart

How do I explain? Where do I start?

Peek in to a Child’s heart, when she sees her mother crying

Have a look at the wife’s eyes, when she knows her hubby is dying

How do I explain a son’s turmoil, when he breaks down before his mother’s body

Or the grief that old couple is down with for their daughter, a very young lady

It is hard to come back on the path

From the state of an emotional wrath

We cannot forget their love and their smiles

Even when they are far away by miles

You might smile and say ‘Child, I have my Plans’

May be you do, but I still stand by my stance

We might not be able to put a hold on their last breath

But memories we have, will treasure them till our death
