Asking

I asked God why
He didn't answer 
Time passed
I very well remember

Then one day
In a still small voice
He said to me
Why not

thankxxx Sara.. I had to enter a Haiku contest and this was my first attempt.. somber but I did place 2nd.. Your poem Asking reflects the inner questions we all have ... but God has all the answers and in our life's journey we learn them all eventually. good writing to make one think... Linda-Marie

God(Love) always answers to them that will wait and hear his answer, and receive it as it is, not refusing it because it was not what they wanted to hear. Sincerely, Love, Moses

God never answers arrogance. he might run out of lightening bolts if he did. but its a hard thing for him to make your prayer to fit in his ending. and that take an unblievable amount of time to get some of those thinmgs in there. john
