when i was little i didn't have a clue
just a new person looking searching
trying to find......
who
one day, it being bright
and sunny
then later cool and balmy
I asked
"mommie"
who made this sun
this air
this joy
and happiness
that we share
of course she told me
still it was
not enough
i had to find out
first
for me
for myself
later being older
but not much
wiser
i asked
"Pastor"
why so much suffering
bloodshed
broken life
strife
of course
he told me
still it was
not enough
as time passed
on and my bones
grew old
i felt alone
still searching
like the days
when i was
young....
mommie was gone
Pastor was too
finally it was
clear to me
as it was all along
I really had no
one else to ask
so i asked
"GOD"

Wonderful
My Dear Poet...
As I read this piece it became clearer to me that you and I have travelled the same path...The beginning of your journey at least and yes sometimes we know the answers yet we don't accept them...The saddest part I have to say is that some people never get to know the truth...
I thank you very much for entering in my contest and I look forward to reading your new poem as well
Much Love

An endearing write. Not really a conversation with the Lord, but I did enjoy the story. Thank you for entering the contest.

This is a very nice poem how it transitions from childhood to your older years. Very nice and how the questions changed.

thank you

Seems so logical to reach this conclusion at the end. Sentiments well expressed in these lines. Liked the form and the flow of these lines. Well written.
