Questions

I wrote this back in August of 2005 after hearing that the mother of a classmate from CSY had passed away. Her passing was unexpected and struck a chord with me.


Questions

Why did You take her away?
I bet that’s what he’d say
It seems the world has ended
Or at least the framework needs mended
It’s hard to know what to do
When your world is tragically set askew

What’s the next step to take
I lived and I’d die for her sake
None of that matters now
Because everything has changed somehow

I’ve got some questions
In need of answers
I’m sure You’ll bring me through
Even this
And then You’ll make everything new
After this

Why her? Why now? Why this way?
How can I last another day?
Did she pass in peace or in pain?
The tears I shed, fall like rain
I’ve got to pull myself together
Not for me, but in memory of her
