Can Not Question God

Starving children I see as I am watching Tv, 
but who am I to question God's athourity? I am only human
just like everyone else, If I did question God, 
would I be sentenced to death? But I still say that God is good.  

Starving children I see, but can not understand.
A woman left all alone after being raped by a man,
and all I can do is sadly shake my head. 
Children tourmented by the pain, now I understand 
the reason why they wish they were dead.

But who am I to question God, 
only he knows the reasons behind all things.
When this is over, will only a few be with him in heaven
for all eternity? I know that one day God will take away all of the hurt,
take away all of the pain. I know that one day all with him will be
smiling, because he has wiped every tear away.
