Lord, I will forever ask you for more wisdom
‘til I ne’er, ever, bespeak, "Why . . . ?"
Even when life and all me, living
thinks, it’s all exceeded my mind!

You taught me how right will guide me, the way
You let me learn on my own, O' how my wrongs taught me to pray!
With age, so comes wisdom . . . you’ve heard it before
And, Yes, it is true when they say that, "Life is so much, much, more!"

Lord, I’m still asking you for more wisdom
For, You see, I sit, quite some, confused
...while, I’m sure all my perplexing is begetting you amused!
"Why me?", He laughs, ". . . and why not you?", He gasped

Please help me, Lord, to fully understand
I feel, I’ve been, lately, treading uphill through sand
This one big quandary, seems just too much for me, Man!
...and so I lit a candle, and remembered . . .

The Lord doesn’t give us anything we can’t handle!"

(He must have high hopes for me!)

Throughout my life, my father repeated this outloud when things got rough...but,  I still find I'm constantly reminding myself over and over. . . 
 I seem to forget it so easily, thinking,
"I'm all alone on this one and I'll never survive!"
But, even when I do lose my faith,  I do know,  that God knows...I WILL get through it all!

So, why fret?
Just look at all the presents!

Love and Peace~
