This poem is dedicated to a dear friend I had lost a year ago. He died of a massive heart-attack at the early age of 51. His name was Alan.W. Jankowski he was a poet who inspired me along the road and encouraged me to write my book. He is most famous for the poen he wrote titled " I often wonder" which is also the name of his book. If you get a minute check out his wonderful poem. Thanks for reading...All the best...Charlie

I Wonder Often
I wonder often, about the ones we lose
How does the lord, he pick and choose
He picks his children, he picked his son
He picks the old, he picks the young
I wonder often, I wonder why
He gives us wings, for us to fly
He leaves behind, our voice and past
He sets the date, to be our last
I wonder often, who's next? I say
Who's next to fly, is it I today
Maybe it's you, or he or she
Sometimes I wish, it's not you, but me
I wonder often, why the kind, why the good
All my life, I've not understood
God only knows, but one day, we will know
What's the purpose and reason for the wings we all grow
