Poetry: "Sweet" and "Why?"

Sweet is the sound of falling rain,
and the stream that leaps from hill to plain,
but better than rain or rippling streams
is water hot that smokes and steams.

I sometimes ask God why?
Why him? Why now?
What has he done to deserve this?
He's done everything you asked.
And yet you still can't save him.
I need him here to coach me. I can't settle
for a sub.
I need him on this earth to guide me
Please don't take him from me.
Why him? Why now?

WE
