Shari Aughtman Poet I do not know?

Only the Good Lord Knows Why

I never imagined Id have to say goodbye,

Even though I will see your face again,

Only the good lord above knows why,

You were chosen to leave us today ...


I shall cherish the memories we shared,

And your pictures hang on my walls,

I know as my angel you will be there,

and guide me when I begin to fall ...


My heart is broken into many pieces,

I feel the total emptiness inside,

Everything happens for a reason,

And only the good lord knows why ...


One day we will meet again in heaven,

When its our day to be called home,

Until then I will cherish you forever,

And your remembrance will carry on ...

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.
