Understanding What Is Understood

Understanding,
What is thought to believe understood.
Never seems to remain,
Permanently to stay that way.

Increasingly we are challenged to face,
A testing of our faith.
With an adjusting to one task after another.
As these times we live,
Come to go...
Faster than questions we may have.
To ask without them answered.

And yet we are taught,
Kept faith to trust in God is best.
To know that prayer,
Will put our minds at rest.
Requiring a patience to tolerate,
A daily twisting of our emotions.
With this to accept,
God does not leave us...
Abandoned.

However,
This to understand to believe understood.
That God is always there,
Working in mysterious ways.
To eventually in time make things okay.
Can be difficult for anyone to comprehend,
When pain to endure unspeakable anguish...
Does not deliver immediate cure.

But somehow,
We stay faithful to have it go unnoticed...
A pain to feel has been healed.

Then back we are again,
Complaining about something petty.
Unnecessary.
With a sharing of B.S. that makes no sense.

Again!

Yet not to wonder why,
What we do to receive...
Is a result of our actions.
To accuse and place the blame on others!

'You know,
What would happen...
If we stopped demeaning one another.
Backstabbing and passing judgment.
To examine what it is we do to ourselves.
Perhaps we would have,
A better quality of life to live.
And make real that peace and harmony,
So many claim they seek.'

'And take the fun out of life?
Who in their right mind,
Would want that kind of boredom to exist?
Only nonconformists would suggest,
Such an unpatriotic outlook.
Comeon!
Where on Earth is your misplaced loyalty?
