It is hard to understand why children die but I don't know if we can blame God. I was very angry at him when he took our two month old Grandson Joshua. It took a while to understand there is a reason for everything. We will understand it better some day. Well done TK. :<) Nancy

Thank yo so much Nancy My empathy goes out to you as well..Only those who have lost such can relate to the pain...Others say in good conscience they know but only if it happens to them can they really know the pain

Comment from Glasstruth
Coming to an acceptance is a hard thing, and the questions will always remain to some degree. Why does God do such terrible things. As Bob Dylan sang, "The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind." Like the personification of how the mountain is telling you somehow to go back, and you do. Wonderfully crafted. Les

Thank you very much Les...Yes 'the answer is blowing in the wind' but too many times it just blows right by without us taking notice.. Just was listening to Dylan yesterday singing that !!

Dylan's one of my favorite. :)
Comment from Treischel
Oh yes indeed, this is very touching as it touches on a wound that may never heal until you get that answer. These verses were full of honest disclosure of the pain that hangs within that question. I felt it strongly.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
I am sure you were meant to write this series for it seems as though they just wrote themselves from your heart.
The cadence is smooth and the rhythm and rhyme well done.
Maybe you just need to take enough trips up to find that special peace we all crave.

Comment from Sasha
This has been a great series and I enjoyed all three very much. Faith is not easy, as I continue to have my own doubts. But I guess we do the best we can and, personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning the why of something so significant as the death of a child.

TK this was a lovely poem and I can see your search for an answer you may never find. Beautifully composed words, perhaps instead of the mountain just keep that firelight burning bright . Cheers Christine

I am so sorry my friend for your loss. I too have questioned his word and still do for that matter. I hope you write more about this mountain of yours as it sounds wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Jacqueline M Franklin
Wow, TK...
This last stanza packs a wallop. Excellent end to the this part of the story. I'm glad you left it open so you can come back to it if you wish to.
It's has to be so difficult, be it by accident or through an illness, to lose a child, and nothing one can understand. It's no wonder you have your misgivings and doubts, my friend.
Thank you for sharing a most difficult time in your life. I should think writing is a great way to cope. Keep 'em coming.
Cheers & Blessings

Thank you Lady J very much.. I did leave it open in case I should need to make another trip... My son took his own life so I have questioned even more than one would think
