    were you looking?

    Were you looking;

     when

    I made the heavens,

    And the earth?

    Were you looking;

    When I gave you my child,

    From the moment,

    Of his birth?

    Were you looking;

    When he made a blind,

    Man see?

    Were you looking;

    When I parted the sea?

    Were you looking;

    When they betrayed

    My son;

    And took his life away?

    Were you looking;

    Or, did you just turn,

    And look away.

    Were you looking;

    When his blood for you,

    Was shed.

    Were you looking;

    When they placed a crown of thorns,

    Upon his head?

    Were you looking;

    When he returned to life?

    Did you know;

    I’d understand,

    All of man’s trials and strife?

    Were you looking;

    When my child died,

    To offer you eternal life?

    Were you looking;

    When I came to you in your troubled,

    Times today.

    Were you looking;

    Or did you choose,

    To simply walk away?

    We must never forget the sacricifice Gods son made for us. remember we are the ones he saved with his blkood he washed all hearts clean. if we believe and pray we can understand and know that his love will guide us and be with us and that if we ask for it he will make it possible for us. He has fogiven us of our sins, nothing is impossible for God. We cannot ask to win the lottery we must be reasonable when we ask for God's help. I knwo He will always find the best solution to a problem, He will always know just what to say to comfort a bruised and broken heart or even aid with the birth of a new child to a mother in need. We must strive to make a relationship with God work and through the blessings of life I know that God will prevail and shine through every aspect and through every open door and window .

    What a beautiful poem written for God and his son. The emotions he must has felt as people tortured his son, yet we are ungrateful of his great sacrifice. Beautiful.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
