Michelle Degironemo Poet Rhyme

I Aked God, and He Answered

As I knelt in prayer the other night, I asked God….
“Why is there so much suffering in the world?”
I believe He answered me and said…

Free will is a fact of life.

It can bring you joy or sometimes strife.

It’s up to you to make the choice,

But if you pray, you’ll hear my voice.

I can’t explain, my dear, He said,

as I knelt beside my bed.

Our lives are NOT a matter of fate.

You may CHOOSE hell or the pearly gates.

Now my dear, rest your head, 

And tuck yourself inside your bed.

Have no worries, have no fear.

Just simply know that I am here!
