Vanilla Sky

Woke up vanilla sky as I opened my eyes I'm puzzled what is my mother doing by my side? Hospital room how did I arrive? Later when told how I got there, I'm wondering how did I survive? Gotta be the grace of God I'm just thankful to be alive A whole new appreciation for life as been revived Caused by an accident I wish I could turn back the hands of time But I probabily never would've been provoked to write and rhyme An accident to us but to God no surprise We thankful for the ordained blessings but what happens when He sends ordained stressings? The same one who allows good also allows the bad These two ingredients mixed, make a perfect plan Like death and life Old and young Rich and poor All these are for sure You try to make sense of it but its all obscure To lean own your own understanding is the allure But to remain faithful to Him is a chore When you are subjected to circumstances you would love to hate Like what happened to my brother and my face Thankful for his life but hurt by his exit And now I'm asking God whats the message? I'm having trouble understanding my present Cause I felt he was too young to exit You knew it all from beginning to end and one day we will meet again
