December Loss

this poem reflects on how my two sisters and my daughter died in December

Why does everything happen in December?
Why did God cut my family tree?
I've asked and no one seems to know the answer
They all just say it's meant to be

I don't know why
They had to die

They say everything happens for a reason
Don't question God and ask him why
I can't help but wonder if this is God's plan
I'm still left with questions, I can't deny

I don't know why
They had to die

Who is to blame for all this loss
I miss them more and more each passing day
Is this a curse or is it random
A mystery that time can't sweep away

I don't know why
They had to die

The last day I saw her was on her birthday
My sister all smiles and so happy
Two days later she was gone forever
Only 19, how can this be?

I don't know why
She had to die

My brown eyed sister was so full of life
But cancer and chemo took that away
When she passed life changed forever
25 years later to the day

I don't know why
She had to die

The photos I took I will cherish forever
The time at the park, my daughter and I
Her laughter still echoes like warm summer weather
A memory I hold as the days go by

Oh why, oh why, did she have to die?
