Some things we do not know
Some pain just doesn’t go away

Sara’s Song

How deep is the earth?
Is it really round?
Why do some kids get cancer?
Why can’t a cure be found?

Why are some kids bald?
Are there people on Mars?
Are there families on the moon?
Why can’t God fix scars?

Why can’t God do everything?
Why are babies born still?
Why is there no beat from the start?
What is a courage, a knowledge, a strong will?

Some things, Sara, we do not know
Some pain just doesn’t go away
Why are some parents nice and neat?
Why, are others, crabby night and day?

Why did Brycen die?
Do babies go to heaven?
I can’t live a day without you, Momma…
Maybe for ten, but not eleven

Why can’t God do everything?
Why are babies born still?
Why are they born without a heartbeat?
What is a courage, a knowledge, a will?

Why are some kids lazy and some kids crazy
Some things, Sara, I just don’t understand,
Why do some kids sing and some kids play
And some can’t run or play in the sand

Sara, those are labels or stigmas
They’re not even real
Well, then, why even say it
How’s a girl to heal?

Why are some parents nice
And some hit and swear every day
Some things we do not know
Some pain just doesn’t go away

These are actual questions that my Six Year Old asked me one night.
I added some of my own thoughts afterwards, but this is the general
conversation…..Amen.
