As I look in this world around me
At the lame, the deaf, those who can’t see
The halt, the dumb, those who can’t understand
I wonder what purpose they have in this land.
It seems that everywhere we face
Another death has taken place
And another soul has left this land
To take his place on the faraway strand.
Yet death seems to come to the young and sane
To the healthy ones busy in His name.
But death must come to every soul
In order for Him to move toward His goal.
We must not question the works of the Lord
Just try to work together in His accord.
And if we ever wonder why
things happen as they do
Let’s remember that God gave us life
So He can take it too!
Written August 1973
