God's Plan For Me Poem by Lora Colon

God's Plan For Me



I've been watching this woman on Earth,
She's convinced that I'm cruel and mean,
Her nights are spent in wretched discontent,
But I'm so confused..... should I intervene?

She fumbles through her day, as if blind,
Like she needs someone to lead her,
I stroke her hair, and then I say 'There, there, '
What do I do next? I'm no mind reader!

She asked for love, so I sent someone,
And she smiled..... so in need was she,
He wasn't that great, but now it's too late,
Is she expecting an apology?

She keeps saying I made a mistake,
She may start rumors about me,
I haven't a clue, just what should I do?
Let me ponder what my next move will be

I thought I had this under control,
Human behavior is so bizarre,
Poor passionate thing, though I clipped her wing
She continues to fly.... but not far

She's praying again, but it's Sunday,
Gather 'round, Angels, let's brainstorm,
I'll do my best, but it's my day of rest,
So what can we do to make her conform?

Her prayers are constant and quite fervent,
Oh, who cares.... I have too much to do!
I think I'll just say, in my divine way,
'Quit crying, many suffer worse than you! '

A very funny poem Lora, but I don't think you are alone in feeling this way. Do you? If Jesus was fully human and fully God, I can only imagine He must have written a very similar poem 2000 years before you as well. As I count the miracles and the disaster in my life I sometimes suspect that I have lost track of what the truth is, like forgetting where my car keys are. I do know that I have a car though so I guess that is one miracle at least, maybe two, I both have a car and know I have it. The fact that I can't find my keys, well that is clearly God's fault! HA! In any case after a while the number of miracles and disasters too become so large that I have trouble remembering which number is actually bigger. I do have a sneaking feeling though that the miracles are mostly of God's making and the disasters mostly mine. But humans surely should keep in mind that some infinite are infinitely bigger than other infinities. Perspective is everything I suspect. One thing for sure, if Bri knew how to count you would have at least 2 tens already instead of just the one that I am about to give you! Ha!

She asked for love, so I sent someone, .......... this caused me to burst out with a laugh or two. :) [gee, WHO could that someone be? I know of two likely candidates. no, I guess it is not someone we BOTH know; it must be that guy you mentioned to me in private, …………… in which case I should NOT laugh. SORRY! I wasn’t thinking of him at first.] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - for some G-damned reason, this is my favorite part so far [and so far ALL the parts have been great! ]: I thought I had this under control, Human behavior is so bizarre, Poor passionate thing, though I clipped her wing She continues to fly.... but not far - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - now MORE laughter over this: Oh, who cares.... I have too much to do! ......yes, Lora, it is true; i AM very busy, and it's only Saturday. i usually only listen to Jewish prayers on Saturdays, but i've made an exception. OH, this poem makes me so humble! (not) i shall NEVER feel sorry for myself again! (not) this goes to my MyPoemList. thank YOU and ME (God) for this great stuff. bri :)

Very well self analysis, Lora. I agree that many others are suffering much more severely.But I am to say why either they have to or even why should I? Why am I to walk on a bumpy road, the reason being not known to me? Thank you.
