Why do people die ?

  A little girl walks up to her mother and says
  "  Mommy, why do people die?
    Why do people go away
    and leave us here to cry?"

    Don't they want to be here,
    With their family and friends?
    Do they stop loving us
    when their life is at an end?

    Mommy, why did Granny leave us?
    She didnt say goodbye.
    She left me and bubby here
    all we did was cry.

  " I remember you crying
    and Daddy hugging you tight
    and even after the funeral
    You cried for a week all night."

    Her mother looked down
    into her big bright brown eyes
    and she just smiles at her little girl
    she knew she couldnt lie.
 
    "Before Granny died," she said
    "She wanted us to know
    she's going to be with Jesus
    How she loved him so."
 
  "So Babygirl," she said
  "before you go to bed each night
  Remember to bow your heads, fold your hands
  and pray with your eyes closed tight.

  Granny will be with God
  and I know she'll be smiling wide."
