My life has been a tangled path with many falls, Each time it was impossible God held my hand; I know whatever happens with me he will stand, The gift of writing given- to release my pain. Mother lost her faith but not me I heard God's call, A little girl opening the doors of the church; For answers in the Stations Of The Cross I would search; Oh, this pain kept all these years has made a heavy chain, And on my heart and soul a scar- a deep red stain. I have prayed to God for the answer to my whys, Why God does everyone that I loved in time - dies; I open the door and wake the pigeons where they perch, Tiptoeing- my feet so loud in the silent glow, God now I am putting my faith in you- I am letting go. _________________________ May 4, 2016 Poetry/Canzone/In The Hands OF God Copyright Protected, ID 16-786-551-0 All Rights Reserved.
