Mourner's Poem

Endless nights, endless cries,

Asking why you have to die.

Wishing in a selfish way,

To trick death's trap in any way.

If only I could turn back time,

But truth slaps me hard from a beautiful lie.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
