Why Must Daddy's Die?
See the pain in their eyes.
Their faces are drawn in sorrow.
Death has claimed their father
and he will be laid to rest tomorrow.
Thoughts of him fill their hearts
Memories of their life with him invade their souls
Pushing and tugging on their emotions
Tearing their souls apart
Many long months they watched helplessly as their daddy
once so full of vigor and vim
wasted away to a shell of a man with no gusto left in him
The struggle to hold on to life was long and often painful
Days on end they could only ask why?
Why must the end come ?
why must daddy's die?
Bonita Taylor-Fussell
Five weeks later we are still asking why.
