Life's Ultimate Questions

How is it that our

troubles and pain so naturally

curve into clamoring question-marks

barbed and aimed at God?

“Where are you?”

“ What Are you doing?”

“Why are You Hiding from me?”

Don’t You love me anymore?”

And our frantic demands

Muffle the Shepherd’s searching voice.

“Precious one, where are you?”

“What are you doing?”

“Why are you hiding from Me?”

“Don’t you love Me anymore?”

For the curve our Shepherd’s questions

Is the crook of His staff reaching to

Draw us to His side.

“ Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.”
