It's God's Will And We Must Comply By: Charles G. Turner, Sr. Life is uncertain, But as sure as we are born one day we must die Sometimes we sit and wonder why The fact is it's God's will and we must comply Throughout our lives we live through happiness and sadness And many toils and strife And when our earthly life is over We enter into our "eternal life" Whenever a loved one or friend makes their earthly depart It is natural for it to bring hurt and sorrow to our heart And to deal with our loss we grieve, mourn, and cry In all essence we must remember this is God's will and we must all comply For those of us that are left behind We must cherish the special memories And keep them all in mind Just remember it is not for us to question why we have to die It's God's will and we all have to comply. May God Bless and comfort all of you THE ICE CREAM BABY AND FAMILY CHARLES , DEBORAH, MICHELE, CHUCKIE, DEVON
