Why Was It My Brothers Time To Die?

by AnnieDawn

Wandering in my solitude
Before I start the day

I ask myself how long it's been
Since I've knelt down to pray.

Though contemplating God's great love
I need a reason "why?"

My dearest brother, full of life
Was it his time to die?

"I'm angry, help me understand."
Hot tears fall down like rain.

Have faith, God whispers in my ear.....
He's free from all his pain.




My brother died Feb. 16, 1997 at the age of 22. He left a wife and three small children, the youngest just 2 weeks old. Our whole family was devastated. The criminal was caught , tried, and now spends his life in prison.
