The Letters

Late at night I cursed God's name

for taking you away from me

The only love I'd ever found

I thought I could keep it forever

I waited twenty five long years

Suffered so many heartbreaks

On my way to find him

Now I've lost him

Tell me God, what did he ever do?
What did I ever do?

To deserve this

No one ever deserves this

I stopped going to church every Sunday

I didn't believe in you anymore

If you're real then why was this happening?

Why didn't you do something to stop it?

For four years I stayed away

I watched you fade away

But then I received a letter in my mailbox

I opened it, and this is what it read

I just wanted you to know

That he saved my life

The doctors told me that I would die

Because I needed a new heart

His death gave me life

For my kids and wife

You don't know how grateful I am

For such a wonderful gift

Then the next day I got another letter

This one was from a woman

Saying his lungs breathed into me life

And enough time to say goodbye

And then another one came a few weeks later

And it was from an older gentlemen

He said your husbands corneas

Brought me out of the dark and into the light

They just kept flooding in

The stories of all the lives he changed

And suddenly I understood

Why You had to take him away from me

And that Sunday I went back to church

I don't curse Your name anymore

I thank You for giving me and them him

And for all the lives he saved
