SOUL AND SANITY

Last trip up the mountain asking why he took my son

I woke up this morning
Heard a whisper in my ear.
Said “Go back up the mountain
Something more you need to hear.”

Looked out the window
At the mountain I did stare
Something then came over me
Got on my knees in prayer

The voice kept on haunting me
Till no longer I could sleep.
Is it my Soul or my Sanity?
The mountain wants to keep?

Is there such a mountain?
Or is it only in my mind?
Seems it keeps on telling me
There something I need to find

Last time He told me
Of all the things He's done,
But I forgot to ask him
Why he took my son?

Was there any reason?
I do so question why.
He is no longer with us.
Why was he the one to die?

Said I should take His hand,
And put my trust in Him.
But I must be honest now
My faith with Him is dim.

Last time on that mountain
His words went right into my heart,
But the more I kept on thinking
It started to tear my heart apart.

I guess He's not the director
Of things that happen every day,
He just watches over us
And lets us go our way.

Why is it so hard for me
To believe in what You say?
That there is a better place
And You will show the way

Did not lose my sanity,
But maybe left my soul.
Only this darn mountain knows
If there’s more stories to unfold.

 

A TARNISHED KNIGHT

Hey Donald! Im sorry about ur son. I guess aftering reading my poem you know that i have suffered the lost of someone close to me as well. I understand how it feels when this happens. We always ask why did God let this happen? if He IS Almighty then why didnt He do something to stop this? Ive learnt that this is not the case. Long ago He warned the first humans that if they ate of the fruit they would die but they threw this warning to the wind. Now, that death wasnt immediate as they probably expected, it came through old age, sickness, greed and selfishness that cause ppl to lose their lives in a number of ways. But God loves us so much that He has provided an escape through His Son. Its so unfortunate that we still have to suffer these things but one day soon it will be over all we have to do is hold faith. BELIEVE in Him because we've come to far to lose the fight now:) It will be tough but through Him we'll get through anything. Thank you so much for this poem because by typing this i've actually gotten through to MYSELF. Plus I think what my new blog will be abt:) Once again... great piece:)
