Please Tell Us Why.

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 understand
And those near us can’t say
Why we must that call obey.

Why? When the time draws near
Do we fear the coming day
When it is our time to depart.
Do we think we have been wrong
To 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 love
That 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 day
Only living to hear of ones we knew so dear.

Why do we see that life we lived
So very clear in our dreams
And cannot see for the tears in our eyes
The new life we should live.
A new life we cannot live
But still can’t return to those so dear.
