Why
Life has many crooks and turns,
as we journey on our way.
We never know what is down the road,
as we awaken to each new day.
It seems so hard to understand,
when the way gets rough and steep.
Why can’t the way be smooth and wide
and easier on my feet?
Lord, you alone know what is best for me,
you can see farther down the road.
So, I ask for your help…just make me strong enough,
to keep on going and carrying this load.
