Why

Why did God create a life That wasn’t meant to be Why did He give eyes If they were never meant to see Why did He put breath in you Then take that breath away Why give you to me If you were never meant to stay Why show someone happiness And how it feels to smile And fill their hearts with hope If it can only last a while Why did God create the sun When all it does is rain How am I supposed to laugh When all I feel is pain Why let people dream Knowing their dreams will not come true Why should I find someone else When all I want is you Why say there’s a Heaven When it doesn’t help to pray Why is there tomorrow When I long for yesterday What’s the point in searching Knowing you’re not there to find Why give someone life If death is following behind So why God when He took my love Did He not take me too For life is not worth living If it means I don’t have you... By Raina Hutchins, from the UK

My new poet friend, your verse was wonderful, it's the contests that you must correctly name your form, the reason for this is we are all learning here and the contests add the process, never put I don't know...ask the judge or a friend if in doubt OR VERSE is a good catch all. I SO enjoyed the emotion in this write, you got right to my heart! Light & Love

Raina - this piece touched me so much, and brought a tear to my eyes having lost my beloved husband just nine weeks ago it totally sums up all the questions one has and the feelings in ones heart. I wish you more power to your pen - keep it flowing. Rgds Janette
