Why Would You?

Why Would You?

Why would you leave
Your children to fend ?
Why would you leave
Their babies and friends?
Why would you leave
From Light and Love?
Why would you leave
God up above?
Why would you leave
The gifts of this earth?
Why would you leave
Your heart is of worth!
Why would you leave
Friends everywhere?
Why would you leave
When I really care?

Good questions, Jeralynn, and we will probably never understand the answers. Who would leave all these things behind, especially one who really cares? Nice work. Love and holiday blessings, Carolyn
