October 2009

I question God’s plan,
As if He’s just a man.
Wanting the answers,
God “on demand.”

I imagine He chuckles,
And ruffles up my hair.
Finding it amusing,
To question Him, I dare.

Perhaps I am His spitfire,
He had to knock a peg.
Couldn’t leave me standing,
Relying on my leg.

I don’t understand,
What I have been through.

Feeling betrayed by Him,
As though He always knew.

But now I grow wiser,
I know it’s not His choice.
It is I who failed,
To heed His calling voice.

I thought better,
Of my dinky path.
Leaving me exposed,
To life’s vengeful wrath.

So life has had,
Its chance on me.
Chewed me up,
And abandoned me.

I left wounded,
Tattered and torn,
At times wishing,
To have never been born.

But that is not,
The life I want for me.
I want it all,
To set my spirit free.

So now I make,
The fateful decision.
Fearing all the while,
To be met with derision.

Will God welcome,
Will He chastise?
As He sees through,
My self-made lies.

I offer only me,
With a simplistic plea.
Please do not scorn,
And forsaken me.
