Please God, tell me why
My son had to die.
It’s not fair, and it’s not right,
Oh God, why that night?
I didn’t think life could end so fast.
He was so young but his years didn’t last.
Now it’s too late to say goodbye.
Please God, tell me, “Why?”
Even if his soul is flying free
Now his dreams can never be.
Sons aren’t supposed to die.
I need an answer, God. Please tell me, “Why?”
Maybe life isn’t what it seems
And not all sons get their dreams.
I know we’re all meant to someday die,
Still God, I have to ask you, “Why?”
Jason Owens’ Mother
