Sometimes I Wonder Why

Sometimes life has unexspected hills we have to climb. Reaching the top can be a real struggle.


Sometimes when turmoil fills
my life, and things do not
go right,

I wonder why

Sometimes when I feel alone,
tho I'm in a room filled with
people,

I wonder why

Sometimes when the world
seems to be closing in on me
and there is no hope in sight,

I wonder why

Sometimes when I can't see
the beauty of a summers day
or hear sweet birds sing,

I wonder why

My heart does not rejoyce,
saddness clouds my way
I search for unsloved answers
in the chambers of my mind.

I know that God is with me,
his hands are on my fears
If I will just keep my faith,
he'll wipe away my tears.

MARYGRACE...I LOVE THE LAST STANZA! REMINDS ME OF PSALMS 42 AND 43. OH HOW GOOD IT IS TO BE ABLE TO TURN TO GOD AND ASK 'WHY', AND THEN, THROUGH FAITH, HE GIVES US THE STRENGTH TO 'PRESS-ON'! VERY UPLIFTING AND ENCOURAGING. THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+ INSPIRATIONS

How very apropos for my life now and recently, MaryGrace. You have put into words my feelings. I believe that is what poets are supposed to do! Well done.

Peace. Joyce

Why? I ask myself that often. Most of the time there are no definite answers. But still if we do not ask, we will never start the journey.
Very good, Mary.
