Lenten thought for the day: Since part of following Christ involves choice, we need to know the options; otherwise, how do we make the right choice? With that as my tie-in to Lent, and in light of recent events, I was inspired to write the following poem - working title: Clarity, Confusion, Contradiction In Christ, or so we are taught Though blind, yet shall ye be able to see The wondrous and glorious path of God. Right now, you couldnt prove it by me. I pray for clarity of vision, The true nature of people to know Yet by a pattern I feel Im imprisoned For eer down the wrong path I go. For years I remembered, I hoped, and I prayed To know again her love. When back in my life, on that recent day She came, I gave thanks to the heavens above. For I remembered the most loving heart The most beautiful soul, the smartest mind The sorrow of being apart The prayer that each other wed find. And knew with every sense I had From God was it so meant to be. But now Im angry, confused, and sad. How could she do this to me? And as I grieve, I seek understanding Because I perceive only contradiction. To love and be loved; is that too demanding? And why would she choose one who hurt her, when I offer truth, not fiction. And why did my intellect God give When, with women Im always obtuse? Why am I good at helping others to live Their own lives, but for mine the gift is no use. Im smart, but I feel stupid. I know in my heart, but Im wrong. And boy, right now, do I hate Cupid! Why did I think I belong With one who chose another? Why do I still want her back? Why do I even bother To love, if all I receive in return are attacks On my faith, my trust, my hope? Oh, how could she have been so cruel? I feel like I just want to mope. To what better behavior a fool? I know what I need to do. I know to God and to Christ I should turn. But, oh! Sara! What happened to you? And why, after this, for you do I yearn? How could I have been so wrong?
