Comtemplative 14
Natural Causes
What brings down a man
At the age twenty
Healthy and hefty
To collapse and never get up
A bright young future
Mysteriously ended
No reason why
Natural causes
No reason to die
Nothing was wrong
Yet here we are
A life, not long
God knows the sadness that comes
He knows the reasons
That we can't find
Comforts the pain you can't hide.
