Empty Air

Life given to a fellow human,
a gift given to a dear friend,
a surprise not too surprising
having known it before hand.

Amiable personality, lovable,
kind heart gestures always
giving what can be given,
noteworthy, yet not worthy.

Why? Where is our God?
Is there life without him?
Today we're on life support,
tomorrow he'll remove it,

without the breath of God,
without his support, all efforts,
are absolutely futile, empty,
despite the best of intentions.
