Ruminating Virulence

Vision from the past
 As you see yourself floating to shore
 Tragedy that the water depth wasn't
 Three feet more
 Diving from the cliff
 Never thought it would come to this
 Incoherent utterance
 "Don't move the body like this"
 Years later in the metal chair
 Passing day after day
 Bitterness permeates everything I do and say
 What kind of God would do a thing like this?
 Ruin my life
 God's got a funny sense of humor
 When it comes to strife
 The ways, mind and heart of God
 Are certainly mysterious
 "My plans are not your plans"
 But remember this
 That everything I do I do in love
 To bring you closer to me
 No matter what your problems or
 Circumstances happen to be
 When you put away bitterness
 You will see what you have missed
