Why

 

The angel cradled him

As she took him home that day,

His body bruised and broken,

Sadly, she went on her way.

 

She pinned his broken badge

To a chest that drew no air,

With her gentle fingers

She caressed his tangled hair.

 

Her endless tears

Flowed down her soft cheeks,

Through the pearly gates

At the end of the golden streets.

 

Her tears rained down

From the weeping sky,

As her cries echoed around man,

Asking why, oh why?
