I was sitting in class today just thinking of the bombings in Boston Yesterday and this is my thoughts and response to that event among the other tragedies that we as a nation and on a grander scale we as a world have faced
Sometimes among life’s storm-tossed ways
We are tempted to ask
“Where is God?”
When the innocents are carried away in
Brutality and fear
And not upon snowy beds of white.
“Where is God?”
Why must our world be
Ruled in fear and malice?
“God where are you?”
When Evil reigns and Good
Is plundered and battered
“God where are you?”
Softly the answer whispers back
“I am here, even in this nation that
I am called to bless and those
Blessings are trampled upon.
Even here were my name is mocked, my principles are
Hated and my people “intolerant”
Yes even here am I in this nation of
Red, white, and blue.”
As the world arrays itself in disarray,
You can almost hear the silent tears
Of a God of free choice who mourns
The decisions of his children.
