We May Wonder Poem by Gert Strydom

(for Annelize)


"It is of the Lord's mercies
that we are not consumed,
because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning:
great is Thy faithfulness."

Lamentations 3: 22-23.


We may wonder: what the hell is going on,
when all life hangs in the balance.
In everything, God does remain in control,
He reaches out, even if we are very scared.
This morning I wish you only that which is beautiful,
while we see the death of others.
I know you are precious to God and to me,
where I do entrust you to His care.
There is no words for how much I do you miss,
how I know about our sincere bond,
do have knowledge about your beautiful heart,
notice how you do bring meaning to my life.
I pray that God will act in His omnipotence,
to change everything when we don not expect change.
