Why? Poem by Mike Shanahan

Daddy daddy please tell me why
That spider ate that little fly?

That spider ate the little fly
So she can live.. so he must die

Daddy daddy please tell me why
Those ladies waved and then they cried?

Those ladies waved their Sons goodby
And Daddies too...who soon might die

They go to far off lands you see
To fight for freedom..you and me.

Daddy Daddy please tell me why
Where they all go to when they die?

To heaven son, that’s where they go
That’s where they go rain hail or snow.

Did little fly feel any pain?
Do men who die come home again?
