Another Good-Bye

In memory of John Thomas Butterfield III

I've lost track of how many times
Bad news took me to the ground
Seconds flew by with no breaths drawn
Or shock stole every sound

I've hung before in a dream-like trance
Praying the nightmare would end
Now once again, like in the past
I've lost a very dear friend

My human mind questions my Father
"Please let Your purpose be known"
"I cannot tell you now, My child,
Trust Me to take care of My own"

"Ok, Daddy," I whimper and cry
As I climb into His loving arms
Resting now as He comforts me
Safe from all worldy harms

"I don't know why you took him away
But I know we will make it somehow
Reunited at last with his Rachel Kay
I know they’re in Heaven now
