Who am I?
I lost my dad way too
early,
Who am I to doubt it was
part of God’s plan?
His mother lived to age
98, why couldn’t he?
Who am I to question God’s
timing?
He loved my mom and all of
us so dearly,
Who am I to ask God why we
don’t have him anymore?
He was married for 50
years, had nine grandchildren and a great grandchild,
Who am I to not thank God
for the time we did have?
He had wood to carve, golf
to play and trips to take,
Who am I to ask God why
not?
He was kind, loved and
respected,
Who am I to ask God why
him?
For his disease there were
no more options,
Who am I to ask God why no
cure?
There were things I had
not done or said,
Who am I to ask God for
more time with him?
I never heard a bad word
spoken towards him,
Who am I to ask God why
not someone else?
He deserved so much more,
Who am I to question that
God knows what he truly deserved?
I lost my dad far too
soon,
Who am I to question God’s
plan?

This MMM
was originally written in 2007. I will repeat it as long as I write MMM’s on a
Monday near the anniversary of the passing of my father.
