The Stones

THE STONES

There are scenes in my mind I’ve asked God to erase...

But He said that He wouldn’t and that I needed to face

The events of my past and gave me the reason.

“For every time has a purpose and everything has a season...

The stones that you’re wanting to cast away,

Will need to be gathered another day

And then you’ll look back and see,

That each one carried a message from ME.

While one was sent to make you stronger,

Another so that your patience was longer.

Another so that you’d learn when to pray,

The other one that you’d know what to say,

Then another one came to bring you gain,

Yet another soon after to cause you pain,

And one was sent to bring re-birth,

To an otherwise dying sense of self-worth,

And one to teach you to hold your tongue,

(And I know that was your hardest one...!)

And another was sent to teach you to give

So that through you, I might live.”
