Does heaven decide how we are placed
Where we must suffer this life?
And how does a Father Almighty above
Send his child to a place where he'll die?

Why does one live in beauty and pleasure
And vain luxury to end out his days?
While his brother barely endures each moment
Struggling, broken, disillusioned, and dazed?

How can they watch without intervening
When a boy of just barely ten
Has had more than a life's share of heartache and pain
That leads him to call it the end?

So is it that He has just turned away
Bored with this poor world of His?
Or perhaps it's one last feeble attempt
to turn people He loves back to Him.
