Understand
Father again I come to You distraught
Seeking peace and understanding
Sometimes hurting but always blessed
I seek a life much less demanding
They say there is no distance
Between a loser and a winner
But the gap is so much greater
Between a saint and compulsive sinner
I’ve seen pain and sorrow, hurt and anguish
At times my life’s been so stressed
I’ve had joys and miracles, faith, hope and love
I can’t understand why I’ve been so blessed
This year I’ve lost so much
And almost lost my son
I cry when I look back
And see all the wrong I’ve done
Father help me understand
The meaning of all that I’ve observed
Why have there been so many blessings
In a life so undeserved.
