“To every thing there is a season…”
and as I ascend, I seek the reason
why. Why me, this time, this place
why now to finish this life’s race.
So many things I’ve left undone;
my parents, husband… unborn son.
So many promises I have made
and now I watch as each one fades.
Since Eve’s deception it’s been ordained
as we’ve marched forward, chained,
a part of some much grander plan
that’s been laid out for the son of man.
Too many questions still remain
and as I approach that heavenly plain
I wonder if answers are what I’ll find
or if forever I’ll be blind.
Ahead, a light that’s pure and true
“God, I’ve a few questions for you…”
I feel a love that fills my soul
and understanding that makes me whole.
