The Grievance

We part under protest 
Hearts aching implore
As angels escort you
To heavens front door
The reason the question 
Our queries ignored
Reluctant we give your
Light back to the Lord
Our Father in heaven 
Extend us your grace
Note that under duress 
Silence stands in your place
If we must endure
Without wondering why
Your motive is suspect
Demands we comply 
His hardest to take
Are the closest to you 
Even God had to give
A life up so we knew 
That forever he loved us
Not one, two, or few,
But all are his children 
He suffers death too
