Lost family

He was my hero, fixer of all things broken
I looked up to him, hung on all things spoken
He taught me how to do stuff, to try new things
Its with such longing that thinking of him brings
He was my happiness, but he left so abruptly
Gone without a goodbye, he was my daddy

She played with me, included me in jobs
She hugged me, kissed away my owies and sobs
Snuck me chocolate, kept humus and crackers
Loved me even tho I broke her nutcrackers
I called her Nani, she called me her grandson
I never thought she too would leave me to abandon

He let me help fix cars and random things around
Whenever others were busy, it was him I found
Early I would wake, for my special time with Pop
I never thought his love for me would stop

My uncles were always my joy and fun
Tickling me until I came undone
Bouncing on the trampoline, chasing me
Surely they too wouldnt go absentee

They were my family, I saw them everyday
Now I never see them, in passing or to play
It was so sudden and it left me so confused
They left and now my heart is bruised

I've heard that they left because God told them to
But Jesus loves us children, isnt that true?
If that was so, then why would He tell them to go?
To push me away when I beg? That's what I want to know.
