She whispers in my ear
Don’t worry my child
l sink into her small arms
Fat tears roll down my face
l am gently rocked back and forth
Back and forth
back and forth
back and forth
It'll be alright
But why?
l ask her again and again
and again
and again
and again
No one knows my sweet heart
Tell me!
God has His own plans
But she was my best friend
l know
l hate God
No honey, you don’t
Yes! l do
No
l know
Tell me a story about her
Okay
The tears stop
l sniff
and sniff
and sniff
and sniff
We went to a state park
She climbed
Up cliffs
Many cliffs
She kept climbing
and climbing
and climbing
and climbing
She finally got to the top
She raised her arms
Her fingers in the shape of peace signs
l did it!
l did it!
l did it! she shouted
Smiling
Then she fell
and fell
and fell
and fell
And we all rushed to her
And when we saw her
We asked “are you okay”
And she was just laughing
and laughing
and laughing
and laughing
Oh but why?
Because she knew she was okay
A tear falls again
And they start coming out quickly
tear after
tear after
tear
It’s alright child
But why?
Because,
Why did Jesus take my best friend?
My sister?
So she can always be laughing
and laughing
and laughing
and laughing
