In Deep Sorrow

Oh, unfeeling God Am I ever permitted to know why the one who was still so much needed was the one who was chosen to go? With all my soul I beg of you turn not your ears from my plea. Oh, unfeeling God Why my deep pain do you not see? Oh, unhearing God You know that I would have given my all if I could have kept my beloved until I too, had answered your call. I would gladly have carried the burden, would have taken his illness and pain. Oh, unhearing God Why do you keep me pleading in vain? Oh, far away God Was Heaven’s need so much greater than ours? If so please give me a sign Lord, I have searched and I’ve searched in your stars. I beseech you to love him as I did So he will not feel so alone. Oh, far away God Do you not hear my sad moan? Oh, forgiving God Perhaps I loved him too much Lord, in the way that I should have loved You. If so I now give you my solemn word. I did what I thought I should do. I taught him to be good and true. Oh, forgiving God, Did I forget or neglect to thank you? Oh, loving God For my selfishness I vow to atone. I’ll praise you each day for the blessing of the child I forgot was on loan. He was your own precious creation whom you trustingly put in my care. Oh, loving God Will you comfort my pain hard to bear? For Paula's " Beseech" form won no. 4
