Why ...?

by slm - Libra

We'll never know the reason about certain things in life
Why a man can lose an unborn child or even lose his wife
We ask so many questions about what You have in store
Yet we'll never know the answers till we reach the heavenly shore

Lord help us not to question, the things we'll never know
Help us to love our neighbors and let Your true love show
Let them feel Your comfort Lord, in this, their hour of grief
Use us oh Lord to ease the pain and strengthen their belief

So many things do happen, that we will never understand
One life is lost, yet another one is protected by Your hand
We ask so many questions, but the answers we will never find
Yet we thank You Lord, for the gift, You graciously left behind

    For a friend of a friend.  Lost his pregnant wife in a car wreck last night, yet his 24 month daughter survived the wreck (the gift left behind).
