I am not certain


I Am Not Certain


I am not certain

Why life is who it is

Nor what gave it the right

To decide which way to turn lives.

 

I am not certain

Why death is who it is

Nor what gave it the right

To take precious lives.

 

I am not certain

Why love is who it is

Nor what gave it the right

To steer emotions for broken hearts.

 

I am not certain

Why hope is who it is

Nor what gave it the right

To light fading lamps.

 

I am not certain

Why faith is who it is

Nor what gave it the right

To crush all that upholds life.

 

I am not certain

Why everything is who it is

Nor what gave it the right

To tear the floor below us.

 

I am certain

Why trust is who it is

And what gave it the right

To establish hope, love, and faith.
