Why?
 
I’m in a slump
Deep in the dump.
Don’t want to face
Not even another day.
Tired of the news
It keeps bringing us
Another day of the blues.
 
I must stay strong
In spite of what’s wrong.
I’m so tired of it all
Need a break
Need to take a pause.
Words are hard to find
In this tired brain of mine.
 
The last MRI proves
What I wanted to deny.
They found a tumor
In his brain, that is
Affecting his eyes.
I don’t want to accept it
Don’t want to move on.
God, help me stay strong.
 
God, Why?
Give me strength
To continue holding him
For as long as I can.
Help me stay focused
Help me understand
The reasons for it all
He's such a good man.

Sometimes our strength is evident to everyone but ourselves.

"God, Why?" I have been asking that for many years. Especially why allow the innocent to suffer untold pain before they die. I am about to launch my next novel with this very theme.
