One Never Knows / Christa Love (Aunt)
ONE NEVER KNOWS
One never knows when a tragedy may strike
One never knows what that pain would feel like
One never plans to live a life of hell
One never knows; they never can tell
One never knows that one day they’re speaking to their mom
And the very next day she may be gone
One never knows she won’t send another e-mail
One never knows; they never can tell
One never knows when a life may suddenly end
One never knows that the pain goes on without end
One never knows it could be their son; the only male
One never knows; they never can tell.
One never knows the grief that is involved
One never knows the problems that go unsolved
One never knows their troubles could over flow a pail
One never knows; they never can tell.
One never knows how their heart will ache
One never knows the mistakes they will make
One never knows how to make things well
One never know; they never can tell.
But….Even though one never knows, there is One who does. He is there when the tragedy strikes and He knows what The pain feels like; He knows when that time will come And He knows how to help you heal. He is there to lessen the grief and to heal the problems unsolved and is there to help you get them resolved. He knows the heart ache we feel and knew ahead of time the mistakes we would make, but He loves us Anyway for goodness sake. So, when one never knows how to make things well; turn to God; He can tell. When life seems too much to bare, give it to the Lord, He is always there.
To my Sister with much love and shared heartache
