POEMS
Why Is It?
Why is it the nicest people that I have ever known
Have lived lives of pain and heartache, suffered all alone
They shed countless tears in silence, had many sleepless nights
Aching in their hearts and minds, a life of sorry sights
They have wished that they could close their eyes and somehow disappear
And leave behind the torture, the sorrow and the fear.
They have prayed that they could fall asleep and never wake again
That's how people feel when alone with all their pain.
But somehow they came through it, and although they can"t forget
It made them the nicest people that I have ever met.
They all have asked the question, why did God pick on me
What did I ever do to deserve such misery
While waiting for the answer, the vital missing link
Ask yourself these questions, then pause and have a think
Would your heart go out to others, the way it does today
If all this pain and suffering hadn't come your way
Would you be that special person,the one your friends have all admired
Would you have the understanding or the compassion you've acquired
Would you have the same maturity, integrity and self-esteem
If you hadn't tread the pathway to the places you have been.
There is more to pain and suffering than you or I can see
God is always trying to make us the best that we can be
We endure many days of sadness, troubles and despair
But no matter how alone we feel, help is always there.
We are guided through our misfortunes, encouraged day by day
We learn many valuable lessons, gaining strength along the way
His methods may be painful, sometimes hard to understand
But we always come through it, just as God had planned
So next time pain and suffering brings you within it's reach
Take comfort in the knowledge that it was you God chose to teach.
