Madeleine Riha Poet Rhyme

Crisis of Faith

She pounded the cold hard granite and cried 
Lamenting about the fact that he died 
Alone on the road and suffering so 
Where was God then - she really needed to know 
How could He let her dear sweet husband die? 
In such a brutal way to make her cry
What she didn’t know was that God was there 
Comforting her husband with loving care 
He swept away his tears and pain within 
Forgiving him all of his earthly sins
Embracing him with much undying love 
He carried him home to Heaven above 
Her faith was slipping between grief and pain 
It would take some time to feel love again 
She was always aware God had a plan 
But felt so hurt that He’d taken her man 
The days were dark and bleak after he died 
In her heart she knew she must soon decide 
To let God back into her mind and heart 
Or let her great loss tear her soul apart 
Soon she knelt down in reverent prayer 
Whispering to God she knew he was there
She regained much faith in the coming days 
And each night she would sing the Lord His praise
