Why God, I ask
When there is never a clear reason
For pain, for heartbreak
For a desperately lonely season.
Why God, I ask
When people die, when hardships come
And there seems to be no answer
At least no good one.
Why God, I ask
When I’m in midst of sorrow
When I can’t feel hope
And don’t see a tomorrow.
Why God, I ask
When it’s all just a blur
When loved ones cry in agony
And there’s just no cure.
Why God, I ask
Do good people suffer still
When those who deserve less
Get more than the good ones will?
Why God, I ask
When the tears come from my eyes
When I know that he listens
And yes, he hears my cries.
In midst of the questions, the asking
The begging for answers
Something startles me.
We never ask why God
When things go our way
We just enjoy the moment
And the glorious sunny day.
We never ask why God
When goodness seems to come
We revel in the sweetness
Of the pleasure and the fun.
We never ask why God
When he bestows upon us good
When he’s given us so much
Way more than he should.
We never ask why God
When we receive what we’ve asked
Instead in the kindness
In the glory, we bask.
We never ask why God
When everything is fine
We never attribute the good
That it’s all from the divine.
It’s time to say
Thank you God
For the good, for the questions
For the life we are living;
Forever we are his child
And he won’t ever stop giving…
Wordy Spirit 
It’s you and me, he, she, it and they, who,
Create questions and answers!
God and /or Destiny, exist and care for all, as they deserve, by their living!

This is beautiful and God knows what he is doing and he is always with us and blesses the whole humanity. What happens will always happen he will not interfere but God is always loving and kind. Lovely poem, Simone.

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, at times we do not understand his ways- especially when we are in pain and in the dark. As you say, “God is loving and kind!” His mercy is infinite.
I greatly appreciate the feedback 😊

When we feel good and fine we usually do not think of God, however, when we have a time of sorrow and suffering we pray to Him – we should have our thoughts in Him in good and bad times – sometimes we have to take bitter medicine to bring us forward in our development and understanding – if everything would be fine, we would start to be blind, but problems which come in our way, they can make us stronger – so life teaches us in many ways – if we accept good and bad things that come across our lives – suffering will not have so much power on us and we start to see things from another perspective.
Thanks a lot, dear Simone and wishing you all that is good for you 🙂

Very true! God often sends us little reminders in form of pain so that we can look up and see where the stones are coming from.
It is only then that we notice that it’s all from him and we recognize his presence.
Thank you, dear, for your valuable thoughts and insightful comments 😍

Once I wrote: “We all play only one role: the role of the One…” Nothing is separated, all is One, all is He – it is our ego and mind that separates, perceives duality – but soul is from the same essence as that of God, we are a drop in Him, in His Ocean of love, life, light.
Hugs and love
