I WONDER WHY

When it's time for my mum to die
I will stop and wonder why 
Can somebody tell me and explain 
Why I should lose but heaven should gain 

My mum is only 72 and has not long to live 
She will be taken with so much love to give 
A loving mother and caring wife 
Cancer has ruined this lady's life 

The anguish, the hurt and the pain 
I will ask this question again 
Why should she be taken from me and be asked to die 
For the love of God I wonder why
