Why

Why?

Have you ever wondered why you are here?
Have you ever wondered why the sky changes colors?
Have you ever wondered why the grass is green?
Have you ever wondered why The birds sing?

Because God made the the sky to change colors.
Because God made the grass is green.
Because God made the birds to sing.
Because God made you - that's why you are here.

We are here for a reason, that God wants us to be.
We are here for a purpose - even if we don't know it.
We are here to make someone happy.
We are here to do good things.

If you are sad don't cry. Think of the ocean.
Think of the blue sky. Think of a morning breeze.
Listen to the birds sing, then you will know, the
reason of why you are here...

Russell Sivey March 13, 2014 at 12:41 AM I love the reasons you give as to why we are here, to enjoy that of life which God has given to us, we shouldn't be asking God why, but rather how, how can we serve him, how can we tend to the birds, how can we enjoy the breeze, the ocean, and the blue sky! I surely enjoyed reading this awesome poem this evening! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!!

God is good to us - for there are other people that can not enjoy those things. many blessings always... Lucilla
