Life Lost

Cold eyes, look back on the truth of yesterday the road of growing youth, smiles in delight with dreams of false promises God will look after you, God will take care of you. Yet the mothers heart is broken, when her son dies how can God, take you from me did I not look after the sick, did I not try, to heal the poor how can you do this to me The mother looks back, at a broken field of dreams lost faith, lost child, lost soul At night you sit with broken sleep unable to fathom the truth your mind a whirl, of bargaining thoughts pleading for, the return of your son, God why did you take him I'm his mother, why did you not take me Anger competes with defeat your emotions swirl through a rampant gale a storm of emotional turmoil the rage of broken nights the swaying walk the forgotten flick sometimes you're walking down the street and something reminds you of him a smell, a taste, the football game forgotten words from the past why God why did you do this to me Yet death would not be, the same to God. To us it's the end of life The broken heart and lost love yet for him its a open door a life of open arms ready to embrace your lost child a guide to better living Death to us is the end of life yet for God its the road to paradise death happens, cancer, heart, accidents It just happens, it's not God picking on you people eat to much sugar and build fat up around the arteries people smoke encouraging cancer people drive when they are drunk accidents happen being a good person does not protect you from suffering, suffering happens good people lose their children, sometimes Good people make bad mistakes Good people go through grief positive thinking is a good thing but you have a right, to feel your pain It takes time to rebuild your faith religion teaches you that God will protect but when you lose your son or go through divorce when you suffer that broken heart it takes time to heal time to understand time to grow and build a greater faith a faith that expands for greater understanding believing in God does not protect you from pain good and bad people suffer in wars good and bad people get cancer good people paid with their lives So you, can walk down the streets of freedom We have to learn about slavery To embrace the gifts of Abraham Lincoln three hundred thousand American men died Giving their lives to end slavery if we destroy the past we forget the hero's they won the battle to end slavery its up to us to defeat racism
