I once displayed a prized possession, demonstrating charmed life with a fatted calf
No harm would come as long as I tended the tether
But then the blinders fell off and life was viewed through the eyes of a caregiver
Take a moment to express encouraging words for all who follow
Recognize a world filled with misunderstanding
...slugging it out through adversity and trying to do the best we can
What gave me the right to advance, to ignore the plight of those grossly ignored, and to unjustly trample abandoned hopes? In my mind neglecting the cries of humanity became most criminal
So I listened and I learned, trusting and accepting that God has a reason for everything, especially to ends where it makes no sense:
For as long as we've got it good another suffers
As far as we've come someone else is left behind
And as marvelous the joy that dances into our lives there is grief and sadness and sorrow
Why?The answer is really too much for the naked heart to bear
In the long run I'll not have regrets even if I can't hang in there
