I long to soar, fly with the rest.
For now, I’m stuck here in the nest.
One day I’ll fly and stretch my wings,
For now, I’ll sit, just ponder things.
What would I say if I expressed
The way I feel; am I depressed?
Perhaps I am, perhaps a tad,
With all the news that makes me sad.
I capture what I feel with rhyme.
The rhythm keeps the words in time.
By writing down the way I feel,
I think it helps me cope and heal.
Hold nothing back, just let it flow,
Just write it down and let it go.
I cast my words out on the net,
For friends, for those I’ve never met.
It brings me joy to start my day,
Alone with God to write and pray.
I pray that what I write and share
Helps others know God’s love and care.
Thank you for your comments Jim. I’m sure many people are asking this same question. I had some of the same questions in mind when I penned “Higher Love” on April 27th. You might want to read that one as well.
In times like these, I know more than ever that God is God and I’m not; His ways are so much higher than my ways; some things He allows me to understand and for that I’m grateful; many things I will not understand and I accept them because I know and trust him as God. He certainly never needs my permission or approval for anything that takes place nor is He obligated to explain anything that takes place. When he does, I am grateful, when he does not, I accept it and keep going.
Your comments on what you’re thinking is interesting. What are your thoughts on why God has allowed this corona virus to kill so many people. I am sure many of them were Christians. I hope you get this message. Let me know if you get my response by Email or text.
