There Are Days When

Oh, there are days when I still wonder why
     I'm here upon this place we call our Earth.
And, there are days when looking at the sky,
     I wonder how or why, or what it's worth

to live each day like yesterday, and then
     give in to sleep till dawn, as night demands,
to then awake and find I start again-
     the same routines until the day disbands.

But, there are days when it is all worthwhile
     to know that just 'to be' is God's great gift;
the question 'why' brings me a little smile-
     for only I have answers that can lift

me when I know I've done the best I can,
     have taken pleasure in this gift 'to be',
and that's the reason why my life began-
     to give and take with love...alive and free!

Lyric Man Date: 8/20/2018 7:50:00 AM Sandra.. a fabulous introspection. I think we all have those days of asking why. And as we mature they turn to why not. God has a plan for each of our lives. We all show a different shade of his glory! Login to Reply Sandra Haight Date: 8/20/2018 4:24:00 PM Thank you for the visit and very supportive and empathetic comments, Lyric Man. You are so right!
