A Lover's Quarrel

You know I had a lover's quarrel with God As I sat there telling him ~ I knew the fastest way to heaven Was straight through hell Though He did not see it that way Nope, not at all God said you need to go down this one path But as I sat out there on that enormous cypress tree I thought and I listened and I thought some more What I was feeling now and what I should be feeling Where two very different things. But as I said before ~ I had a lover's quarrel with God But never once did he let go Of that unconditional love for me No ~ never once and for that, I will always love God 1 / 1/ 2006

Love your dramatic verse, Debbie! Parts of your dialogue, fragments of your thoughts, and from the sum we feel your enrichment. It's amazing that God's love is always "unconditional".:) An inspiring verse, thank you for sharing. Hugs, Mikki

the one constant in the universe, the one who cares and doesn't rest, to be loved by him, is to be blest, his creatures since creation, sometimes we are a pest, with patience he is waiting, our return to the nest... re: Debbie Duncan 'A lovers Quarrel' Don

We curse him and subverse him and we think that we will die. And then just when we think that we have finally lost our soul. He reaches out with open arms to help us bear the toll.

Did you know that the late, great Robert Frost said "I had a lover's quarrel with the world". Your poem reminds me of that quote! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Rainbows and crosses help us with our losses. When blood boils and ends our toils, his kindness takes our hand. It's really all he ever asks of us to understand.
