Why??

He was so young and innocent,5

Why did he have to die,6

Even though he was in hospital,7

A needle in his arm,8

He jumped and played and laughed and smiled,9

Why'd you take him away?10

His mother was scared and all alone,11

So my mum helped her out,12

I looked after him while she was gone,13

He was happy and playing around,14

No one thought that he would die,15

Why did he have leukemia?16

I asked him his name and his age,17

He didn't want to tell me,18

So i tickled him and he laughed out loud,19

His name was Connor and he was 6,20

He said that he was bored alone,21

Why was he put in there?22

When I left he was fast asleep,23

With his mother by his side,24

I smiled at him with admiration,25

This child was strong than I,26

I cried for brother he was 21,27

Why did you make us meet?28

My mum came home after seeing my brother,29

She pulled me into the kitchen,30

She had been crying i could tell,31

Then she told me it was the boy i watched,32

He had a heart attack,33

Why did he have to die?34

You could have taken me instead,35

I would have gone with a smile,36

He was only 6 years old,37

I hated life while he loved it,38

His mother is alone now,39

Why did you make me hate you?40

I can not forgive for what you have done,41

You took two lives from me,42

Still now when i think of him i cry,43

I see his face bright with joy,44

Then i see him cold and dead,45

Why in all you power can't you bring him back?

    Powerful...Loved it!

    Very powerful, and sad work. I understand the anger we feel when someone so young, so innocent is taken from this world. Know this....staying alive doesn't spare us from all the crud. And...the is...I truly believe...a very special purpose for you. If you stay angry and bitter, you run the risk of never knowing what your meaning and purpose is. Your feelings are very natural, but please don't let them run your life. Then, that sweet baby's death was in vein.
