Notes About The Poem

Only God Knows Why

One hour fifty-seven minutes and forty seconds
to remember the life of a husband, a father, a man of faith
who died at the speed of an assassin's bullet,
swifter than the blink of an eye,
and only God knows why.

Three things will last forever
—faith, hope, and love—
and the greatest of these is love.

Yes it's a tragic fact 
evil can stop a life,
but evil cannot--
will never--stop love!
