Just a little something... ^_^

With Ben posting his poems here lately it's really gotten me in the writers mood. I was thinking about what I might write though, and then I remembered one that I wrote a little while back that would fit well in the youth group blog. Now, I'm not as good as Ben, so don't expect anything spectacular. But it came from the heart, and I thought that I would share it with you.

Before I post it, I just want you guys to know why I wrote it. I made this poem for the Evangelist, Roger I believe was his name. He came to our Church a few months back, though I know a few of you weren't there to hear all that he said. When he talked about his Daughter dying from Cancer my heart sank and I just could not stop thinking about how he must feel. I really wanted to understand, and I wanted to do something for him, but I didn't know what..
I ended up writing this poem for him, and though I never got the chance to give it to him I hope that somehow, in some small way, my prayers for comfort for him have reached him.
I still think about him from time to time. What a truly sad, yet inspirational life he leads....

I know that miracles can happen
But why aren't they happening now?
What does this mean?
Why did this have to happen to me?
To turn back time I would give anything
Where did I go wrong?
What have I done to deserve this?
Tears flood my eyes
Sorrow fills my life
Still I am here.

Lord, I need you near
Do you understand pain?
Do you see what's happening to me?
I look for someone to blame
I end up only in my own shame
I wish life was fair
But if life was fair then Jesus would have never had to die
Still, I find myself asking why

You never said it would be easy
Only that you will comfort me
It's hard to understand the meaning of all of this
If it is your will and your way
Then I will give up everything
For you have planned my destiny
With you I have eternal life
So I sing amidst the storm
Through this pain I will glorify you Lord
You are what I am living for.
