God Takes The Wrong People

Oh my,
The Lord took a wrong person.
Took a innocent life,
And left the family to suffer.
I am wondering,
Why does the Lord take the innocent,
And leave the evil on the Earth.
I have witnessed,
The heartache of a fellow friend,
Not close but I was once a good frined of hers.
She is in pieces,
Wanting her family life back to normal.
This year won't be the same,
Without her darling person there.
Her family is lost withouth that one person,
And now she grievs.
On Facebook,
She is blessed with friends who write to her,
Reach out to her in the time of sorrow.
Bonfire night without her,
Halloween without her,
Christmas without her...
How can she live on?!
The person who gave her life?!
Is suddenly taken away in a blink of an eye?!
The Lord Takes The Wrong People.
I am sorry Charlotte,
My prayers are out for her,
You are strong to suffer this much a blow.
She is now at peace and how you've endured, oh my,
Well Your Mother Is Now An Angel In The Sky...

Author's Note

A friend (not close) of mine had to visit her mother lately in the hospital, shes only 15 with a lil sister of 14 and father, she has just lost her mother yesterday :( My heart goes out to her and someone mentioned 'God takes the wrong people' and i thought, this world is an illusion of happiness :(

This is beautiful and how this question has haunted me for many years. I finally came up with a solution that helps me deal with losing people or when God takes the good away from us. I look at it as they were such great people on Earth that the Lord decided they deserve a place up in heaven, with Him. And even though we want them down here, we must accept that they have done their time here and have earned their place in heaven. The evil stay because God is giving them more time to turn their lives around, to find His light. It may seem unfair, but we all will eventually be together again.

I totallt agree with the message here.
Sad but well-penned.

You've really captured the raw emotion and pain that is associated always with death and suffering. The questioning is powerful and insistent, and, like life, largely rhetorical and unanswered. Great wite!

I am wondering about that too...Losing someone who's really important in your life is such a heartbreak...Great emotion, well crafted in here...

I can definitley relate to this, I have watched some of my friends go through a family loss and i have exprienced losing someone i love, and I'm about to lose another person i love. Sometimes the people who die have learned all they need to know. I'm not the most spiritual person but i do know that people should never question the lord. No matter how much pain someone is in. It's so hardto understand but everything does happen for a reason. I'm sorry your friend lost someone but just be there for her. Still a fanstic poem and its filledwith curiousity and emotion.

I empathize with your loss but the ones who go are sometimes the ones who have learned all they need to on this earth , and it is us who still are elearning who must remain behind to continue...IMHO..I whole heartedly believe this world is an illusion.

It's not our place to question the Lord, even in our pain, God does everything for a reason. He was just calling one of his angels home.

Sooo hard when someone loses someone so close and to lose a parent at such a young age is heartbreaking to say the least....and you're right it doesn't make sense as to why such heatbreak occurs and don't seem fair on face value... I love how you have ended this poem..with some wise and comforting words...excellent :)

I can relate to this. I lost my friend too, last year...but well, this is life...everyone will die, good or bad. Sometimes we should just accept fate and move on. but right now, your friend needs a lot of help, and just try to show her that you really care about her. She will hopefully be fine later on...time heals :)
May her soul rest in peace
