In Memory Of J.C.
Horne
A
child was
questioning her mother
On
A dark and
cloudy day,
Trying
to get
an answer
In
her
insistent childish way.
Mama,
why did
God call Daddy?
I
Just don't
understand
I
guess he had
a job for him
Because
Daddy
is a special man.
But
why would
he need A policeman?
There
are no
mean people up there.
Why
would he
need my Daddy?
In
a place that
have no problems or cares.
Later
the child
looked up from her play
The
questions
had finally stopped,
Mama,
now I
know why God called Daddy,
Because
he
needed A traffic Cop.
