God's Love Test
We are all born innocent
Happy Boys and Girls
But then one day
Our innocence is ripped away
We all learn how horrible life can be
We then fall to our knees
Begging our God
Don’t take the one I love
Don’t let them die
I can’t say goodbye
But if you must
Let me join them today in Heavenly above
We ask, “How could a Loving Creator be a Divine Traitor!”
Love lost can be a parent Mom or Dad
Son or Daughter
Brother or Sister
The loss felt can drive one mad
We ask The Holy Divinity
“Make sense of this loss?”
Only silence no explanation
For this horrible emotional cost
Then one day we come to realize
The joyous gift of life
Is paid for by all of us
By experiencing Death’s Strife
God’s Gift of Love in this life and the next
Comes at a price
Which we all have to pay
To pass God’s Love Test
