Happenstance
Sometimes I ride a bumpy road,
On which I pull a heavy load.
I take it not in graceful stride,
For me it is the road of strife.
Is this God’s wrath made known
In cogs and gears and gaskets blown,
Failures in the stuff I own?
God’s revenge for sins I’ve sown?
What of the laws of science and nature,
Which God hath put in place,
To rule machines and beings and beasts,
Regardless of His grace?
I think it’s natural to worry,
To sit and rant the day away.
The heart within my breast in fury,
As trouble seems to have its way
