I Asked of God
I asked of God, 'Where's heaven?' Now,
sun's aura greets the day.
Its light and warmth enable us
to work, to grow, and play.
I asked of God, 'Where's beauty.' His
sun yields to evening's sky.
Each rich-hued dusk of colors mark
so well a day gone by.
Then God showed me the peoples that
make up the human race.
"All that you see are children, please
show them my truth and grace."
I asked God, "Take me home now, I'm
so weary, lonely, tired?"
He answered, "Child, have patience, strive
toward all things aspired."
He sees me inside-out, this God
and knows it's hard to wait.
Life's trials are but a shadow of
the glory past His gate.
"Be patient, child, in all you do
this journey's but a stay.
My promise is of mansions, I'll
return to lead the way."
