Paul Schneiter Poet Rhyme

Still He Chose

Did you suppose it would be easy
Wearing well these mortal clothes?
Did you not fathom Father's words
When this realm you freely chose?

Now the world wills you to wonder
If the trials were duly disclosed.
No way to know before the flesh
Trials wouldn't be as you supposed.

Much is hidden from our earth eyes
But faith can fill the voids to brim.
No need to struggle in a muddle
Deciphering designs limned by Him.

Reflect rather on our elder Brother
Who didn't doubt, didn't suppose.
He perceived pain inexpressible
And still He chose, still He Chose.
