This World Is Full of Heartaches

This world is full of heartaches 
That chase you every day.
Some times you try your very best
But find it hard to pray. 



You try to grin and bear it
You hide it all inside,
Until it seems to smother you
And all you do is cry.



You search your mind to understand
Why life is such a pain
When all you want to do in life
Is help another gain.



I guess there is a reason
Why we have despair,
But I wish I knew the answer
I can't find it anywhere. 



I will have to leave it up to God
For I don't understand why
My heart feels very heavy
As on my bed I lie.



Maybe some day He will tell me
In Heaven up above.
But for now I will just be patient
And trust in His sweet love.
