Why?

My heart
Torn by a God who loves
Surely not true?
A God of love surrounding me
Surely you do?

Powerful Creator, Majestic Lord!
Then why so much pain?
If you wanted to show your love
You could have changed things
Could have intervened.

Instead of rushing to my aid when it's all over,
Too late.
But is that it
The end?

Do you allow death
As freely as you allow life?
And those who are left
Must learn to survive.
