My life is so busy I need some quiet time
To be alone with my thoughts
Sometimes I can not comprehend
All the sadness and pain
In this world
I do not understand Why?
Little Children have to Suffer so
We are told through suffering
We become Stronger in Faith
As a adult I understand
But, For small children to have To Grasp
That Reality
I do not understand
Please! God Explain this to Me

Everyday, I see the sullen faces
Of the children whose lives are ravaged by war
Many face a cold harsh winter without food
warm clothes or shelter
Please God, explain to me why they have to suffer

What of the child who dies of horrific Abuse
Beaten, burned or kicked against a wall
Why God! Do they have to endure such Pain?

I weep at the thought of what they have to endure
These children so young and innocent
I weep at the sadness in their little eyes
I weep Because you are My God, My Lord
Please Forgive Me, But I do not Understand..

Has my faith become stronger or weaker
Trying to Understand Why?
