Why’d You Have To Go

Paul Dach

A question that has got us floored,
is haunting us today.
We all would like to, somehow, know,
just why you went away.

You took us all off guard and we are
missing you so bad.
We’re shocked and numb, but most of all,
we feeling very sad.

No doubt God had a special plan,
and chose to call you home.
I wish I knew what His plan was.
I’m sure I’d write a poem.

But since I don’t, I’ll have to guess,
and go with what I feel.
To figure out why God came down,
and chose your soul, to steal.

I know he had a plan for you,
but not sure what it was.
Hard to understand why God
does certain things He does.

I know we must have faith in Him,
and trust in Him whole hearted.
Accept the fact, He now has Paul,
completing what He started.

Believe you’re in a better place,
than you have ever been.
With Fred, while you await the day,
that we will meet again.

Tell God we need His help down here.
To take these cards He’s dealin’.
To deal them in a dif’rent way.
To change this way were feelin’.

To keep us strong, to get thru this.
To fill our hearts with hope.
To give us strength, as we go on.
To, somehow, help us cope.

To let us know, that Paul’s O.K.
He just has left his flesh.
To put it all together. With some peace,
to help it mesh.

Ask him, please, to hear our prayers.
Relay them on to you.
In turn we hope you’ll speak to us,
and tell us what is new.

What life is like in Heaven—
all good news you have to tell.
But most of all, to let us know,
that you are doing well.
