this is a poem I fell in love with when I read it. It was in a book called 'chicken soup for the christian teenage soul'

Lord, I've so often wondered,
Why people have to know pain,
Why, when they need the sunshine,
Do You often send them the rain?

I've tried so hard to perceive it,
Why things happen the way that they do,
That I've often felt so hopeless,
Frustrated and furious too.

But somehow I've come to realise,
At last I finally can see,
That You have given me my life,
And how I live it is up to me.

So You can't be blamed for my sorrow,
You can't be blamed for my pain,
And I need to stop hoping for sunshine,
And instead see the beauty of rain.

For someday I know I might be there,
Standing happily next to Your side,
And I want to be worthy of heaven,
And to leave only good things behind.

When I read that a lot of things came clear to me and I think it's just a great poem and it really touches me when I read it. I hope you like it too

Love Wendy
