Why (Funeral Poem)

How do I overcome this sadness
Or begin to say goodbye
Where do I go to find the answers
So I can understand 'The Reason Why'

Like Christ I felt forsaken
The day You took my child away
Lord. Why did our prayers go unanswered
When So Many people prayed

I cried out to you in anger
And begged to let me take his place
Oh... How I long to hear his voice again
And see his smiling face

But You controlled the dawn of All creation
And laid the foundations of the earth
It was You who gave the 'Breath of Life'
And the miracle of birth

So who am I, that I should question
The Choice you made that day
For 'It is the Lord who giveth...
And the Lord who takes away'

But there is a thought, where I find comfort
And in my heart, I know it's true
And that is...
You took my Child away from Me...
So he could spend More time with you
