Questions and Answers

I was always told 
Good things will come your way
And for the most part 
This is true I say.

Why does it seem 
As we wait and wait
It's like looking for a miracle
To walk through the gate.

We wonder and worry
And hold our breaths in hope
Then if it really happend 
It soon becomes a joke.

I look for signs 
And say my prayers
Hoping they will be heard
By the Man upstairs.

All kinds of things 
Can take 'or your mind
And cause you to leave
Your Faith behind.

Then when all
Is said and done
You accept what happens
And then go on.

I have accepted
What I can not see
And thank the Lord
For helping me.

A heartwarming and uplifting poem. I think it is only human to question and doubt, but it is also good to know that there is a Higher Power that knows better. Good one Cile. Love Heidie

To everything a purpose, Cile. When we look back at our worst times, that's when we were probably our most creative, trying to survive. He is always with us. Besides, you've got a cowboy watching over you too. God Bless. Vince

God never leaves or abandons us, He doesn't always give us the answer we are wanting to hear either.It is our faith that gets us through! Loved this write, your Texas buddy, Ron
