For my uncle

Still can't find a reason,
Why God took you from us.
But we are mere mortals,
Who cannot see the big picture.
Though you weren't perfect,
Yet, you were still the best.
The best uncle I could wish for,
I know you loved us all.
You know, Marcus worshipped you,
But now he's lost without you.
Sara's too young to understand,
And she asked when you're coming home.
If you'd have heard Anutei's voice,
I'm sure you'd cry too.
I spoke to mom today,
And she tried to stay strong.
But I could feel the pain,
In every little word she said.
I still can't find the courage,
To call and speak to grandma.
Because deep down inside me,
I'm scared I'd break down.
They say time can heal the pain,
But it still leaves an ugly scar.
They said heaven gained an angel,
But I still don't know why.
They'd need another brave heart,
Cause they have dad and grandpa there.
And I'm sure they won't need a doctor,
Cause there's no more suffering there.
Or maybe they need your expertise,
To plan for war ahead.
Ok, I'm just rambling here,
To find a good enough reason.
Maybe someday we'll get to know,
Why heaven needed you so bad.
