You died prematurely
leaving me to grieve without warning.
How was I supposed to prepare
for this untimely moment?
We were supposed to be invincible,
live forever we thought,
but God had another plan,
it was through his will
that I was taught,
that worship and prosperity
run hand and hand.
It was because of you
that I embraced his plan.
I was already saved.
Just not spiritually mature.
It was your untimely death
that humbled me for sure.
See your purpose was served
and that's why you are not here.
My purpose is unknown,
I'm just trying to persevere.
Now I have kids and I cannot lie
It was your untimely death
that saved my life.

So soon, so sudden
All at once, you were gone.
Never to return to our home
where I grew up, where you
by Lori Wyman
I lie in the darkness,
feeling all alone,
thinking of a little angel sitting on your throne.
Her blue eyes sparkling in
As I watch the gray clouds come in
The fog fills another day's sky
When it lifts it pulls us all with
What has happened
