Why Is It So Hard To Love

Missing image

God's tears are flowing today,
causing the rivers to over fill in such a way.
The areas he happens to look upon at the time,
today know's of his sorrows of his children so unkind.

Why is it so hard to love as one,  
I gave them everything even my son.
The hate and the destruction before me today,
what shall I do for they have lost their way.

Why do they only help one another when disaster is at hand,
Why can't they love one another just because it's my plan.
When shall I return and bring my children home,
in my heart and soul I know it wont be too long.

My land is burning thousands of acres,
the fighting in the middle east lives taken at such a cost.
People discriminating, "why" I do not know,
for life is life it's humanity where all colors grow.

As I see those harming my children new babes to my world,
babies having babies from untaught little boys and girls.
Where are their parents who through time was taught to love,
today I cry for the believers for they live amongst the push and shove.

Why do they only help one another when disaster is at hand,
why can't they just love one another just because it's my plan.
When will the day come when I shall bring my children home,
In my heart and my soul I know it won't be long.

I look into the homes today and the un-trust so displayed,
husbands beating wives and children so abused I see no one at pray.
Children never playing they sit glued to a box,
tell me is my world no longer enough.

My children today it seems they want everything but love,
working day and night neglecting their children for they can't seem to buy enough.
When was freedom and love and laughter tossed to the side,
for a computer and drugs and alcohol the tears flood from my eyes.

They no longer see the beauty I send their way each day ,
they no longer know to rise each morning is a gift so displayed.
They no longer care for their brothers and sisters for if they did they would know love I speak of,
"tell me, now that my heart is broken, have you done enough?"

I promised you forever life, I gave my Son's life for your sins,
look about yourself and then through tear filled eyes ,tell me

why do I feel it needs to end.
I know of those and their greed that has made this world weak,
but if your heart were pure the wicked could never plant their seed.

Do you feel pain, are you lonely. and afraid then look at me now.
When you leave love behind when did you give up and how.
Was it infidelity was it drugs was it greed that took the lead,
whatever it was and if your falling you didn't reach out for me.

I was always there I saw your pain and son you never asked,
instead you reached for the drugs to help bad times go past.
Yet the drugs took you down and even now you never say my name,
so son do it now don't be left behind on that faithful day.
BELIEVE AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY

Author notes

What Does Jesus See In all we do unpothis earth he watches and measures of our worth. Tell me are you a millionare or a pawper for its measured by your love tell me in your lifetime measured will it be enough
to be received into heaven to live forever above

  • very thought provoking and heartfelt words written by someone who obviously knows the love that this world is so much needing. The ending is so very sad. But at least we know a God who forgives if we can just find a way to look up when we are so far down there is no where else to go!

    "Why do they only hel one another when disaster is at hand" I have found that strange too. How people, complete enemies, that hate each other, can get together if a great disaster occurs. You might want to change "set" to the right word "sit" glued to a box. Also you might want to change this line to "look about yourself and then through tear filled wyes tell me why, (maybe a comma) then "why do I (change feal) to "feel it needs to end. Besides that this was a brilliant poem, very deep and inspirational for all.

    LIked this interpretation of th picture prompt. There are certainly many reasons to cry over what is happeneing over the wrold these days - genocide, wars, droughts, disasters - some of us live in areas untouched by all this, yet see it every day on tv and in papers. Wish you luck with your contest entry.

    i weep the veil is torn

    there is a darkness on the land
    so each day i pray for peace and the end of pain and suffering
    i join the prayers of all the faiths

    light and love

    This is a work with genuine Christian love and depth so it is sad that the whole has so many errors within it that should really be tidied up: Gods tears / God's tears; knows / know; sorrows / sorrows,; son, in this context should be Son; cant / can't; (cant is a kind of rant and does not mean can't - can not);
    time was taught / time were taught; they set glued / they sit glued; should't???; "Whatever it was and if your falling you didn't out for me" - sense unclear; "so son do it now don'teft behind on that faithful day", sense unclear.
    There are also many commas and full stops (periods)missing which, when placed correctly, will aid the sense of the whole piece.
