Poem Commentary

This poem I wrote shortly after a few family members, and friends passed away within a short period of time. I questioned the meaning of life and if there was a God. I no longer question  that there is a God. I however have no clue about the meaning of life, or why we are all here. I believe someday that each of us will know why, but not until that day when we each die. Thank you!

" Only For A Season"

When we lose someone that we love it seems like life is over,

Their physical presence is missing but their spirit will remain forever,

We weep, we cry, we almost wish that we would die,

Hence we must go on as if nothing ever happened, it is really hard to try,

I see the faded pictures, dust settled on them as if they was never here,

Just a glimpse of the past to hold onto so dear,

Sometimes you feel like they never left this World,

Then the truth sets in and facts remain the same,

They were only here for a Season, it feels like a dirty game,

For why do we even exist when in the end all we do is die,

It makes us all wander why were ever even alive,

I know I myself never asked to be here, so what is the point,

To live, learn, and lose everyone you loved and to me that's just a shame,

Then we do not know what is at the end of this road,

Is it nothingness, a empty loss of faith the we made,

Or if I may be so bold to say is there a God that we obeyed,

I want to know what is at the end of my life, I am sure everyone does,

I want to know the reason we all existed  and feel like there was a reason or cause,

It is all the same in the end, we are just here for a Season and we all will die,

So hold onto those that you love, be good and gracious, and really truly try.
