Innocent Grief

I wanted to play But you'd gone away Mommy was crying Grandma was sighing 'What will you do Now you are two? I held mommy's hand Tried to understand Why she was sad And where was my dad? She patted my head Said 'go back to bed' Gave me a smile 'I'll be up in a while' I climbed the stairs Knelt for my prayers Dear God in the sky Do you know why When I wanted to play You took him away.
