Wily Must It Be
Crying mothers, Heart in pain
Face in hands; kneeling on knees
o understanding of th orro
Why must it be?" Why must it
b ?
Filled with laughter, never end­
ing smile
Oh how good the joy feels
S em 0 long since the eyes
glowed-
Why must it be? Why must it
be?
Sickly children lay ill
with daze
Too painful to cry yet crying
in ide
Some with bandage, orne with
sores
Why must it be? Why must it
be?
Running and playing, eyes of joy
ot remembering the pain thory
fort
Taking advantage of every
minute
Why mu t it be? Why mu t it
be?
Across the water a brand ne
world
Can't ait to feel the earth
beneath their feet
ary Alli on
The Beginning
I no longer e the un shin .
I no longer hear the bird sing.
I no longer smell th rain, nor
can I touch the soft petal
of a flower.
Crying, pain and labor are things
of the past.
My soul' no longer trapped
and I now leave behind all
the burden of life.
no longer e the u ffe ring
of man.
I no longer hear the harsh words
spoken, nor can the cruelty
of my enemies touch me.
My agonizing journey has com
to an end.
Peace, harmony and tranquility
. has taken over and the
beginning i here.
So weep no more for I now go
to join my God.
