Where is God,
When the innocent are dying,
When the missiles are falling,
And lives are destroyed?
He is in our words,
As we join together,
He is in our actions,
In the help deployed.
Some make choices,
Spending lives like money,
Dictators of terror,
Like Putin we face.
Yet one can not stand,
Against the world united,
And God all powerful,
Will put him in his place.
This is a time of testing,
Of all our deepest beliefs,
A time of proving,
Truths tried and true.
For in such ways,
In the face of tragedy,
The very next miracle,
Could come through you.
We can drive ourselves crazy,
Asking why things like this happen,
Never hearing an answer,
Through the long dark night.
Yet with the gift of a day,
We can ask how we can use it,
And through choices of love,
Bathe the world in God’s light.
Things seem overwhelming,
Many things seem beyond scope,
Begging the question,
What can one person do?
Asking myself the same,
Led to these reflections of peace,
And my determined choice,
To tell them to you.
