Sometimes I wonder
why has he
who suffered
so much
has to suffer again
he already lost
a ninemonth old
divorced his wife
found love again
but got no time
to explore
she died
he found love
once more
but she got
into an accident
and again
he lost a love
And now
yesterday
he lost his son
of eighteen years
he drove his scooter
but this tractor
turned
unseen
Sometimes I wonder
why has he
who suffered
so much
has to suffer again

He, the brother of my colleague

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Titia, this poem broke my heart reading. I feel so so sorry for the brother of your colleague; I feel that having suffered this much pain, this sorrow will always be with him, and right now he needs your loving support and compassion. (wipes tears) My heart cries out to him so very much, and I pray you can help him heal with your loving heart a little bit, and he may find new hope soon! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I know you can do it; I have faith in you and him! My heart is always with you and him, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

We can never know.  We can only love him the more and pray.

Titia--Sometimes I wonder too, why some have such heartache come to them...I think it has to do with learning lessons..but, that's just me.

That's a tough one, Titia.  Makes me wonder how much one person can bear.

My heart goes out to him...I have listened to many stories of friends losing there loved ones and it seems so sad and stressful...I know not how they cope after these tragedy's but I pray to God that he will take them in his arms and love them and care for them...James

Titia, isn't it strange how it happens that way to some people....and normally the nicest ones? I don't have an answer. They say that God never gives anyone more than they can handle but it does appear that He expects some to handle an awful lot. My condolences to him....

Ypu have expressed it beautifully.

Thanks to you all. Those last three events occurred within the past six years, hardly time to recover at all. Loosing a child seems to me the most dreadful thing that can happen. Thanks again for your support.
