If I Were To Ever

If I Were to Ever

If I ever were to know
Reasons why all things will grow
Which way wind does blow.

Song some song bird would soon sing
Life baby birds to in bring 
Who may be next king.

Or a queen could be instead
Perhaps President who led
Faces to be fed.

Should I start shedding a tear
As our twilights will grow near
Only fools find fear.

God my life planned for me
And from sins set us all free
Have humility.

When into this world I came
Never sought fortune or fame
God still knew my name.

My life was for God's purpose
Part of His Three Ring Circus
As us He nurses.

Thanks. And I am so glad to see poets motivated to write poems. Wish there was some more happier things to write about though. Terrorism is very perplexing . Jim Horn
