 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Understanding why?


Slowly the fire will quieten within me
the anguish of life will drift far from my mind
for I'll understand more of this life we are living
but less of the rhetoric that made me so blind.

The hope there's a God somewhere just watching
feels me with fear for all that I've seen
for if a real God could watch each child dying
what sort of God do I think that could be?

I now look at the night sky and the stars that surround me
and my dreams are that one day I'll be part of that sky
to gaze out upon the beauty and wonder
without the need for more questions in understanding why?
