"Questions"

in this my act of devotion and contrition
i beg to you, O LORD, for understanding.
i want to know why.

why is love hard?
why do your people hurt each other?
why does ignorance rule our land?
why do you often feel so far?
why do i feel such despair?
why do i feel alone?

and yet...

and yet i declare that YOU are bigger than i
and some things are not fit for my knowing.
(at least at this moment)

so tonight as i lay my head upon my pillow,
i shall sleep well knowing

you have the answers
you give hope
you love those i struggle loving
you love me even when i am broken
you know my questions
and you will supply answers one day.

and until that day?

You Are.
