Of God and Mercy

Dear God in Heaven, I send You this prayer,
And I do so with a heart filled with pain
I try to understand, it just seems so unfair,
My tears of sorrow fall down like a heavy rain

God, its always been my little brother and me,
But the Angels came and took my brother away
And it feels like I'm adrift on a cold stormy sea,
With no sunlight to brighten my dreary day

I hear those around me saying he suffers no more,
And that now he is in a far and better place
Yet I find no comfort in the tales of a distant shore,
Where ever he is, I still can not see his face

So I ask of You Lord, and with all due respect,
Why is the life that You give us, so full of sorrow
It's no wonder that in time, Your love we all neglect,
When Your only promise is there's no promise of tomorrow

Lord, please forgive me, who am I to question You,
For I know that it's all a part of Your plan
But i just can't shake this grief, no matter what I do,
Please have mercy on this sad, broken man

Amen
