Tragic Tornado

as i was walking in ohio on my way to work one day i saw a man kneeling as he began to pray as he knelt there praying he looked up to the sky and i could hear him saying as the tears fell from his eyes he said dear go why did you take my darling away dont you know i loved her more and more each day i know that she is happy way up there with you but if you had to take her then why not take me too you a;so took my children on the day you took my wife and god you knew very well they were my only life since you took them from me my will to live is not too strong so wont you come and get me too and please dont wait too long and as i stood there watching i began to realize that i was also praying and the tears were in my eyes for you see i lost my darling in the same familiar way in that palm sunday tornado just two years ago today
