I want the world to stop spinning because she has gone

The birds to stop singing their happy little songs

There isn’t a reason to keep pretending life is good

I find nothing to keep me from this black, dark mood

It won’t get better or ease with time

There isn’t a reason or a damn rhyme

For God allowing the best to be taken from us

She was perfect, deserving goodness and love

Laughter and light, smiles and joy

Not suffering and fear and death as a betrayal

She planned a future, with such goodness to give

Why in God’s name wasn’t she allowed to live

Tell me God, tell me, why, why did this happen?

I want answers! Explanations! The sun’s forever blackened

Give me no more pat, standard, trite stupid sayings

“When God closes one, other open doors are there waiting.”

It doesn’t help, it can’t stop my tears and pain

So when you see me for God sake refrain

I know with time my pain will be quieted

I’ll stop wanting to tear things apart in the midst of this riot

It is hard not to be angry, though Maura would be mad

She would tell us all we must go on and stop being so sad

She was always the first with words of wisdom

If we did something selfish or amazingly dumb

So on the days my anguish overtakes my sanity

I sometimes feel a tapping on my shoulder, like a light breeze

I know it is sweet, darling Maura Bella, come to say

You must let me go now, but in time there will come a day

We shall dance and sing together; we shall be close again

Maura, she will forever be to us in the end



A Wife, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a cousin, a niece, a Daughter-in-law, a Sister-in-law, a Mom (to Homer), and a best friend



But most importantly Maura will always be a bit of Heaven on this earth, certainly to each and every one of us a Godsend.

I really liked this. Kept me reading until the end. Maybe because I feel the same type of anger. Good job none the less.
