Why

Why was our family selected to carry this cross?
Could it be vengeance brought down on me by God for some previous wrong?
God could not be so cruel to punish innocent children for the deeds of one
Why was our family selected to carry this cross?
Because God only gives us what we can handle?
That could not be true, for I have seen stronger crumble under such burden
Why was our family selected to carry this cross?
The child is a messenger to assist a lost soul?
God would not create such pain to save a lost sheep
Why was our family selected to carry this cross?
Could it have been Satan conducting his devilish deeds?
Satan would be incapable of creating something as pure and right as she.
 
Fate
 
For this I think is the key
For on the day of our birth the cards are in our hands
How we play them, God rarely elects to interject
 
But once the cards are played and you open your heart He is your constant companion
 
He sends his angels to comfort our children
He sends his strength to support us in times of need
He sends his wisdom to help us better understand
He sends his love to keep us flourishing.
