Forgiveness

Your word, preaches forgiveness I want you to know I’ve tried But how can I forgive you Lord? When all those I’ve loved have died Mother, father, husband, best friend You stole them all from me Broke my heart, time after time Lord Gave years of pain, and misery When I see others, with their loved one’s still I long to know, why they’re so blessed Why choose me to play death’s game Lord? Was it some kind of test? If so, I think you can say I’ve passed For I’m still here, standing strong Whatever you have planned for me next Lord? I’m ready – just bring it on The pain locked inside, will give me strength To play your game, as long as I live So ask, whatever you want of me Lord Just don’t ask me to forgive!

You see sometimes we feel why us, only if we get the vision to see beyond we will know that it was for the best. Your last stanza misted my eyes
