Why?

Today there are less than 20 days until your birthday

This last week so many tears have been cried

And we still have a couple of weeks to go

There have been so many days

So many hours

Without you

And so many tears cried

Tears of sadness

Of anger,

Of pain

And of just plain hurt!

The feeling knowing that we have survived a year without you

Isn’t one of joy, or achievement

The pain is worse

Everything is thought of as what if

What should be

Why can’t it be?

Why us?

Why you?

Why us? Why you?
