I don't know...
why some days it rains,
why skies are sometimes grey
or why all things have to change.

I don't know...
why passion sometimes fades,
why youthful hearts grow old
or why some cling to yesterday.

I don't know...
why some must live in fear,
why everyone can not have
all the freedoms we have here.

I don't know...
why loved ones have to die,
why nothing good comes easy
or why some laugh less than cry.

But I know...
what it takes to soothe a soul,
what can mend a wounded spirit
and broken lives make whole.

And I know...
who holds the future in his hands,
who knows all about our trials here
and says it's all within his plan.

Yes I know...
that I need not fear the night,
and though the world about me trembles
I will not be filled with fright.

All I know...
is the Lord, he loves me so
and he's told me not to fret about
all the things that I don't know.

Wonderfully expressed, angel. None of us know those things you do not know but you are blessed in knowing the things you do..

Exceptional write, Angel.  Truly lovely.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
