Must
I Ponder
I've made many friends
Both young and elderly
We all seem as one
As the days pass by
Then one day one passes
On to the next dimension
It then becomes apparent
Of the aging of friends
Some go early on
While others live long
What is the deciding factor
Of who stays or goes?
I've lost some before birth
While others over 100
My mind reels
Over the reasoning
There are good causes
For this I know
Some don't appear to be ready
While others wait endlessly
Here I sit
With all unanswered questions
That are not for me to know
Why must I ponder
These kinds of thoughts?
Do I question too much
Where I should not tread?
My understanding of life
Is quite incomplete
Maybe one isn't meant to know
The working of the Lord.
