for fires even once banked
Heaven's desires need be thanked
as God grants even the most foolish of all men
small aspects of his grace
his will, though too often questioned
knows no spiritual waste
there are unknown reasons for all things in each
life's scheme
the Lord is the eternal conductor who knows every
last individual nuance attributed to the human
theme
for his unequivocal efforts he must be praised
for he is the back bone for the children
who's parents through his teachings he too helped
raise
hence the so very accurate term
'Our Heavenly Father' for our welfare he could
do us no harm
there are simply so many lessons that we each
need so desperately to learn
but only through experience can we
so we were sent here for their necessary absorption
not for some sort of punishment or intense
negative scrutiny
so do not be alarmed
the Lord doesn't intend to turn on us then send
us straight to hell
he simply wants us to be far wiser souls and
through the pores of our physical humanity's
failings we learn which fills us with love and
knowledge by numerous bucket fulls into our
needful spiritual well.......................
