Why Lord

Why Lord, are we all made different When You say we are in just like you? Why Lord, do we have imperfections, When You made us all brand new? Why Lord, do I suffer this body's decay, When You say I'm like you in every way? Why Lord, should I show that I care, When all I get back is a nasty glare? Why Lord, did I write this poem so sad? When I'm having a downer, just unhappy not glad. © Dave Timperley June 2015.

Dave, there are mysteries in life that is hard to probe however I find a better way to deal with such that is desiring and having a personal relationship with Him... more, reading and reading His love letters Bible.. thought provoking poem.. God provides the answer we just need to be sensitive to know and when known to follow and submit to His will, trusting Him~Olive Eloisa.. =')

Olive, I KNOW my God has all the answers and I know He loves me more than I can ever love Him. I think that some of my poems are more like prayers than poetry. Either way, I write to share my thoughts with you and all who read on here. God Bless. D.

Sorry you feel sad, some things we may never understand but he does love us and we are made in his image, Life has been cruel to me in many ways But I never ask why because I know God did not make people cruel to me it was their own doing, If you in ill health we never understand how some are healed and others aren't, Just try to trust U will get there in the end. Hang in there.
