Why didn't you help

By Anonymous Student at VWU

Why didn’t you help?

Why do we hope for tomorrow, rather than living for today?

Why do we complain about yesterday, when yesterday already happened? 

Why do we dream about growing up, when tomorrow is never promised? 

Why don't we appreciate every moment, every day, every breath?

Rather than living for something we don't yet have…

Why are those so young taken from us so early?

Why aren't the evil ones taken first? 

Why does he let disaster happen if he is almighty?

Why doesn't he protect us from all evil, if he is all-powerful?

Why did he take you with him…

Why does he let them go before we say “I love you?”

Why does he let them go when they have so much to live for? 

Why does he not create a world of eternity? 

Why can't I see them one more time?

Why didn’t I get to say goodbye…

When people come into our life, does he know that he will take them from us? 

When he watches us fall in love, does he know our hearts will get broken? 

When he hears me cry for help, does he look down in guilt or empathy?

When sickness falls upon us, or sadness overcomes us…

Does he use his power to protect us?

If we live in a world governed by his protection and his sovereignty, 

I ask for just one wish, 

Please don't take those who love me away,

But don't let those who don’t get close to me. 

Is he even real…
