 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

I Never Doubted…Did I?


I thought I never doubted,
Saying He was looking out for me,
And how things could be worse,
But the reasons I just can't see!
If He is all forgiving,
Then tell me please, I'd like to know…
Why is there so much suffering and pain?
And for believing, what do we have to show?

If all He wanted was to hurt us,
And fill our lives with so much sadness,
And throughout the world cause devastation,
Tell me, where's the happy and gladness?
For all my ears and eyes will note,
Is insurmountable pain!
Is this a forgiving caring God?
Can anyone even explain?

Why…Why…Why?
Tell me, for I don't understand,
All the torment, wars and hatred,
That's rife throughout the land!
I never doubted, did I?
For right now isn't that what I've done,
By questioning the why's and wherefores,
And asking why life's more evil than fun!

I always truly believed,
And I have never given up hope,
But all the strife and pain and mess,
It's a wonder I can cope!
But cope I do, because I'm strong,
But hey, isn't that what I'm trying to fathom out?
The whys and wherefores of the things we suffer…
And the reasons that I doubt!

For all these years through heartache and pain,
And all these years of strife…!
He was there, for at the end of the day…
He hasn't taken my life!
So then, is that where my faith comes in?
And have I doubted at all?
Because after all, when said and done,
He always seems to hear my call!

And though He's given me so many trials,
And though He's made things so very tough,
And though He's always given me pain and strife,
And though He's got me through so much rough!
He's still around, I know it,
And yes, I feel it too…
Otherwise I wouldn't still be here,
For isn't it true, He's here for me and you!

Well in truth I have to believe it to be so,
For without a straw for me to grasp…
It just might mean the difference…
From having a life, to it having it passed…!
