God Can Tell

She had lost mountains and rivers 
On rainy paths through sunny fields 
Golden chains and lover’s kisses 
Hidden secrets unrevealed 
Lost in years of sun-drenched grasses 
Watching buildings rise and fall 
Recollections of her childhood 
Places lost she couldn’t recall 

She mislaid her youthful fervor 
And that smile I knew so well 
A fighter once, now an observer 
Caught between heaven and hell 
Now she stands like those before her 
Some who’ve risen, some who fell 
She has questions needing answers 
That only God can tell

lovely poem, it is true in this life we will never know all the answers but when we meet Jesus we will know all will be revealed to us. Amen
