G-d Loves You
An opaque fog in front of me,
A hazy mist behind,
So where am I to turn?
My path I need to find.
A future stretches before me
Of decisions to be made,
Where do I go? What do I do?
The past was not at times the best,
But still I learned, I loved and laughed,
Perhaps I ought turn back.
But now that time is done.
And gone is the time for fun.
I have no choice, no say at all.
Into a fearsome, vast black hole.
And the decisions that I do make?
They haunt me night and day,
Yet another torturous stumbling block
Intent on barring my way.
Why does G-d hate me? I wonder,
As my strength saps and I tire.
My every action has a consequence
And all my plans backfire.
I never seem to get my way
Because when, for a moment, I do,
Something else pops up to ruin things
And greater troubles stew.
I wryly think about our G-d,
Just watching as I choke?
For someone wise once told me something
That gets me through each day.
She told me that G-d loves me.
He loves me and He cares!
He wants for me to gain!
Like one day she made her bus
As He loves each and every one of us.
From then on I saw it more and more,
A clear, ever present fact.
How G-d easily pulls the strings,
Maneuvering my every act.
Essentially I do have a choice
Which is best for my soul.
So if I see Him in good things,
Why is it that in troubled times
I so desperately seek to hide?
If anything I should go out,
My arms outstretched wide,
Allowing Him to take the reigns
While in His warm embrace I hide.
But that is not quite how it works,
I too must do my part.
And frantic becomes my ever beating heart.
I doubt His involvement in my life.
I doubt I have His care.
And then I hear that voice again,
That floats in the back of my mind.
It strengthens me, I think clearly.
So though the struggle may be fierce
And though it may be long,
I know that I can do this,
I will someday see the light.
Has been just beyond my sight.
G-d is holding your hand.
Just close your eyes – believe!
In all that which you perceive.
When you see G-d on your side.
Sit back, enjoy the ride.
