Poem # 13

WHY LORD

I wonder Lord why babies cry
and I wonder why the rivers go dry?
Why, why, with questions I pry,
without thought and reason, I try.

A child with cancer, or one that is blind,
deaf, crippled or sick in the mind.
Orphans on the street, many you can find,
none to feed, clothe or utter a word, kind.

Why do we fall ill and cry in pain,
all those doctors and medicines fail in vain.
Some live long lives with nothing to gain,
lives of others are short and are slain.

Why Lord, why, why why?
are we born, only again to die?
Some live nomore than five,
Others live over 100 and are still alive?

We know Your things are a mystery,
over the earth, seas and skies You have mastery.
We know that the bible is not only literary,
It's full of Your love and It's history.

Sometimes I breakdown at my shortfall,
frightened, ashamed and find myself facing a wall.
Crying and reaching to You whever I fall,
like a sheep waiting for the shepherd's call.

Some are made strong and some are weak,
some are shrewd and some are sharp like an eagles beak.
Dear Lord please tell who do You seek,
the good, the strong, the smart or the weak?

Please be kind, please be soft, please be fair,
when we stand before the judgment chair.
Listen to our testimony, that we share,
Surely Lord, we know that you really do CARE.

Poem # 14

The five D’s of the devil – Devil’s seeds

When all things go wrong and we sense only evil,

be rest assured that this is the doing of the devil.

Our hope and dreams seems beaten on an anvil,

we get tied down, beaten up, leading a life so uncivil.

Our faith, our trust and in our salvation he casts a doubt,

in all our teachings, grace and obedience we are taught,

all the battles, sins and afflictions we bravely fought,

the devil schemed & lured our salvation he always sought.

Righteousness and values in morality became a discouragement,

sins, lies, deceit, all vices were within our assignment.

Life lost, families hurt, friends, church appointments

all moved into darkness & away from His covenant.

He blinds you and leads your heart through diversion,

shows you wordly pleasure, sins and it’s perversion.

All his plans and charms are nothing but an aversion,

to keep us away from inheriting a part of our Father’s mansion.

But he knows very well at whose hands he faced defeat,

nomatter how he tries to deceive, he always runs from the heat.

We became stronger in our Lord thru’ His milk and His meat,

we are confident that we will be victorious at the Judgment Seat.

All his attempts are nothing but a plot to delay,

our redemption he tosses from hand to hand in a relay.

But we are moulded by His hands like the potter’s clay,

our obedience & our faith, within Him will always lay.

Well let us see it then Neverfly.
I find it is easier to put it in poems - no critics here

Oops I promised Canny one a few days ago. I did write it but it needed more thoughts to be put into it as I was questioning God. Bear with me Canny dear and exercise not thy left hook on me
