how can someone just be alive like that one minute and dead the next

[raven_mcbain]

Why is God recalling his angels when they are needed here the most
Is their realy such a shortage amoung his heavenly host
that he needs to recall those angels that he blessed us with on earth
I know that they were only on loan here
not ours to keep
but why give them to us for such a short time
it almost seems a cheat
a waste
a lie
a throwaway
i mean I've always known they couldn't stay
but five
or twenty-one
or twenty-two
seems so short to me
the world could contine to use them
their joy
vibrancy
love
laughter
dance and song
so please dear lord explain
why did you take them away
from the jobs
and lives
and loves
and family
here on earth
I know I should be grateful
that you gave them to us
for as long as you did
but I'm greedy
and needy
and wish
that you hadn't taken them away
the way you did
the time you did
but since you have reclled them
and left their familys here to grieve
please make good use of them
and let them know that the lives they touched
here on earth
will always miss them so
