To Reason

In this house of ours,
Here on Sunnyside.
Is a place where three people,
In one day died.

Three spirits departed,
And went to God...on high.
Three people left mortality,
And you ask me...why?

Because they were poisoned,
By the food they ate.
Because God had it written,
They should not wait.

O what a heart-ache,
For those left behind.
What comfort...what comfort,
Would they seek to find?

Knowing that only,
From this mortal loam.
That they ventured on forward,
And God took them home.
