Does God Read the Freaking Newpapers

THIS IS DEDICATED TO MY OLD HERO---GABBY HAYES IT MAKES ONE WONDER, IT MAKES ONE THINK IT CAUSES ONE'S HEART TO SINK IS HE, WILL HE, DOES HE HEAR, DOES HE CONSIDER A CHILD'S FEAR? I DON'T KNOW AND MAY NEVER WILL IS HE SOMETHING OR IS HE NIL? IS HE SOMEONE IN WHICH TO BELIEVE, WHILST ANOTHER CHILD'S MOTHER IS MADE TO GRIEVE I AM WEARY, I AM TIRED WHILE IN THE MUCK OF A MYSTERY I AM MIRED HEADLINES SCREAM BUT ARE SILENCED TOO SOON AS I FEAR ANTHER MANIAC'S MIDNIGHT MOON WHERE IS HE WHOM SO MANY KNOW, WHILE MY FEAR AND QUERIES GROW MY QUESTIONS MOUNT AKIN TO MOUNTAINS HIGH IS HE A FAIRY TALE OR SIMPLY A LIE? IT MAKES ONE WISH, IT MAKES ONE PRAY WHERE IS THAT MISSING TODDLER TODAY? NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS GROW YELLOWED WITH AGE AS I HIGHLIGHT THE WORDS INKED UPON AN AGED PAGE IT MAKES ONE'S HOPE FADE JUST LIKE THAT INK AS I CONTINUE TO PONDER AND THINK HERE SIT I WITH A FEW OF THE PIOUS IN PEWS AS I BEGIN TO BELIEVE HE MUST NOT BELIEVE THE NEWS SOME ARE FOUND ALIVE AND SOME FOUND WELL ALAS, TOO MANY ARE LOST IN A BORN-AGAIN HELL TOO FEW OF THE DAMNED EVER HEAR A JAIL CELL SLAM AND IF HE IS REAL I WONDER IF GOD REALLY GIVES A GOD-DAMN (C) 2011.....Phreepoetree ~free cee!~

absolutely amazing...so much heartache in the world, and yet we continue to move forward...i truly believe all of the pain and strife we go through is for a reason...we may not see it at the time or a day, week, year from now...but for every painful experience we grow and learn...keep your faith close to you...God listens and hears and answers prayers, you may not hear his answer at first, but its there...
