Why Did You Have To Go? Poem by William Lindenmuth

can't believe you're gone
Why did you have to go? the heart has many questions
With answers you'll never know
We come to this earth as a rental
Surviving on a limited lease
We make the most of time given
Till we are granted our final peace
You are gone but not forgotten
A sweet loving memory
A long chapter in your existence
When you meant everything to me
It doesn't seem fair that you should go
My heart hurts and it wonders why
But through the pain I find the joy
Heartfelt memories pass by
The empty space within my heart
Slowly closes as it heals
The pain of loss lessens
your spirit will reveal
The answer that I search for
Though it may not satisfy
He left because it was his time
For he lives and will not die
