WHY?

          Why does a crisis have to come my way,
          Before I feel gratitude for an ordinary day?
          Why does it take the fury of life's storms,
          To make me appreciate a quiet, peaceful morn?

          When I hurt, it's difficult to explain
          Why I failed to thank God for the absence of pain,
          Or why I seldom kneel in prayer,
          To express my thanks for His ever loving care.

          How can I forget the comfort He supplied
          When I experience loss of a loved one by my side?
          Why do I take for granted God's blessing day by day
          Until a barrier builds within, and God seems far away?

          Forgive me Lord, for the times I fail
          To appreciate all you do.
          I praise You now with humble heart
          Filled with gratitude to You.
