Only One Life

This poem was inspired after watching a short video by evangelist Steve Lee. Feel free to watch and share. https://youtube.com/shorts/Jt1UqedFx2I?si=mTdqwdkinVvIBjyNI . I watched a little film today, The London blitz in 'WORLD' War two.

The lady with the walker almost bent over double, The lads looking likely or looking for trouble. The mothers with toddlers, the people with phones. The diners all munching, the kiddies with cones. Who knows what befell in their multiple lives, Brothers and sisters husbands and wive

Why do I find myself here, all on my tod, Listening to this song 'The Goodness of God.' All my life you have been faithful, true, All my life you have been so, so good, true, With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God. And yet here am I, alone, still wondering, just what fate has hurled, Two good lives taken, by the stains, of a wounded, broken, world. I just don't get you sometimes Lord, and it's so blooming hard to survive, Yet here, here I am,
