Dear God Why

Why Lord ...tell me why Lord ...I don't understand...Father why would you take my child away...my one and only son... I stand here looking on his lifeless body and ask you why ...Lord....I am numb ...you ripped my heart out ...there is no blood in my vein...trying to breath, I can't get air, I can't feel my feet ...I am empty .... Lord why my child,my only son. I am wet from tears and sweat...Dear Lord why my child...you took away my only hope,the joy of my life. Father...Father...take me instead...please Lord take me not my son. I know someone is speaking I can see their lips moving ...I can't comprehend ...can't you see my son is dead,my only child...why are you speaking ...leave me alone, can't you see God took my only son ...was that sorry I hear, I don't want to hear it ...that can't bring back my son...father... father ...dear God why?..father why would you take my child...my son. My life is over, there is no reason to live ...Lord...all I can feel is labour pain where he once lived..Lord why my child...I am numb...I am so numb...Dear Lord what have I done...He's only 16...why would you take my son? he has lived no life yet ,he has done no wrong ...so many others out there stealing and killing why you didn't take them... father he was my only child…empty and numb ...dear God why my child...why my child lord...why my son?
