"in Gods Hands"

The hands have come down and picked its children...
I am still hear alone but God must have his reason...
Could I have done some things wrong in this life...
Or maybe I'm chosen to stay hear for another fight...
Yet still I'm alone with so many thoughts of concern...
I have not been an angel but have lived and learned...
The plan has put me here to serve and follow...
It is not my intention to question or wallow...
I shall wait for my directions as a good soldier should...
And be strong and good willed and do all that I could...


For "Left Behind" contest

Been giving this topic a lot of thought, Michael. Honestly, I think I would die of loneliness among the dark souls left behind. Best wishes for the contest. Very good poem! Love, Carolyn
