Why did death knock upon your door?
Two lives so young and one so pure. BOth were tragically taken from my heart.
Did you want to die?
The first to leave the world was you. You were free from pain.
But left us unexplained.
Why did death knock upon your door?
A family that loved you very much could no
Longer feel your tender touch.
Your children and wife were left with broken hearts, A deep sadness would cover them forever. Unbelievable agony ruled their daily lives.
I was sickened with my loss. Why did death knock your door?
When no one thought it could get worse, Why did death knock upon your door?
Your precious angel answered the knock, We lost another of God’s flock.
Why did death knock upon your door?
?I felt like a part of me had died.
Could I ever put back the pieces of my broken heart?
Shocked and Horrified.
Why did death knock upon your door?
Smile, my fun loving uncle,
You always made me laugh. I will never stop missing you,
And long to see your smiling face again. Why did death knock upon your door?
Emma, full of beauty and wonder,
You were like a butterfly flying free in the sky.
Your grace will touch the world forever. I will never understand why.
Why did death knock upon your door?
You are both at peace in God’s heavenly palace, I am left in turmoil praying for grace.
With a heavy heart, I continue my life
But keep thinking
Why did death knock upon your door?
?

I wrote this poem about my Uncle who has passed and his daughter my cousin died within ten months each other the same year. It was tragic but I used this as way to express my feelings.
