Please Tell Us Why. Larry October 24, 2006 POEMS 0 Comments Why do we leave the ones so dear?Why do we say we must go?Its call strong and clear.The loved Ones call us to stay,But that call we can’t obey.Why is it we must go?But where, we do not know.We can’t say why we must.We ourselves don’t understandAnd those near us can’t sayWhy we must that call obey.Why? When the time draws nearDo we fear the coming dayWhen it is our time to depart.Do we think we have been wrongTo obey that call so strong?Why, when the time is here,Do we say good bye to those so dear?We fear to say to those we loveThat we do love them so.We fear we are in the wrong.But wait, our time is here. .Why we left, we don’t know.Where we are going is not ours to say.We travel here and we travel there.We work a little for what we need.But don’t plan for the coming dayOnly living to hear of ones we knew so dear.Why do we see that life we livedSo very clear in our dreamsAnd cannot see for the tears in our eyesThe new life we should live.A new life we cannot liveBut still can’t return to those so dear.Signed Larry E. WhittingtonWritten in ink on lined paper.(Undated but probably Peru college day. Like this:Like Loading...
