A Good Reason (Revised)


After many years of wine, women and song, I fell deeply in love for the first time, but she ultimately broke my heart and I remembered looking up into the sky with tears in my eyes asking. “Tell me why Lord...why should I live if I cannot find true love...but God never answered. 
  
As years moved forward, I began to use heavy drugs so much that I placed a gun to my head, but before I pulled the trigger, I looked up in the sky with tears in my eyes begging. “Tell me why Lord...why should I live if I cannot find true peace...but God never answered

As years moved forward, I became a lawman and met some of the most darkest monsters ever created in this green earth and as I carried a 6-year old in my arms, who was hurt and repeatedly raped by her own father, I looked up in the sky with tears in my eyes sobbing. “Tell me why Lord...why should I live if I cannot find justice for the true innocence...but Gonever answered
  
As years moved forward, I became ill and as the nurse inserted a needle in my arm, I looked around surrounded by misery, who were in the same medical condition, if not worse, and as they turned on the machine and reclined me in my chair, I looked out the window with tears in my eyes pleading. “Tell me why Lord...why should I live if I cannot find true happiness...but God never answered.
  
That afternoon, the bus brought me home and as they lowered me in my wheelchair, I heard someone from the doorsteps of my apartment say. “See Mia...I told you it was Da-Da!”  A 2-year old jumped on my lap and gave me a tight hug so tense that a feeling of true love, true peace, true innocence and true happiness rushed through my entire body. I laughed out loud and looked up in the sky with tears of joy in my eyes...then mysteriously, I heard a divine voice coming from the clouds in the sky...so slight that it whispered...”that’s why!” 
  
Never Give Up!
