Dear God

Why is it that you seem to call home

Our loved ones

Around the holidays

Making us feel left all alone,

It just doesn't seem fair

Leaving us in turmoil

Feeling nothing but despair,

Why take them from us

During these precious times

Leaving us missing them so much

Wanting to be with them

Instead of being left behind,

Is that selfish

Maybe so

Because it's so tough to fathom

Letting go,

We suffer in silence

Our souls bleed

Wanting nothing but

Them to return

And help us with our needs,

With feelings of such sufferings

Twisting our minds

Knowing all we can do

Is pray for our time

To come due.

This has the air of a heavy loss with lots of questions...
It normally happens when we loss something special to us...
The sense of loss and confusion is conveyed here perfectly...

"Making us feel left all alone,
It just doesn't seem fair"
Everything in this world seems to be unfair but balance should be kept... We can't have everything we like to have and I suppose that's the way of life...

Nicely penned!!!

So lovely when we can still remember those that have passed on who've touched our hearts...

Yes - I've lost so many and they all have a place in my heart. I just hope that when it's my time to go others feel the same about me. :)

my mom passed on Dec 15th, several years ago. Christmas has never been the same. i no longer celebrate or put up decorations. i wont blame it on God, but it was very poor timing. i felt this write, right down to the marrow and i have never seen this subject dealt with in poetry before, kudos for your bravery and thank you for making me aware that i am not alone in this malady. perfect write.

A lamentation poem dealing with a haunting theme. Very well constructed with fine word selection. In short, a very good job.
