It's Okay Poem by Benoni Chortle

I wanted to play outside then it started to rain

But it’s okay

It ruined my plans and I wanted to complain

But it’s okay


I left the house and forgot my phone

But it’s okay

I got wet from the rain as I got home

But it’s okay


I was working on my project then lost power

But it’s okay

I was taking a bath then lost water from the shower

But it’s okay


I wanted to go to my favorite restaurant then it was full

But it’s okay

My shoe got stuck in the mud so I had to give it a pull

But it’s okay


I got spaghetti sauce all over my shirt

But it’s okay

I was playing for my team then lost all their support

But it’s okay


A lot of times I complain about small things

When instead I should be thanking God

And all the joy, peace, hope and love, to my life He brings

Don’t you think it’s kind of odd?


There are people experiencing grief, sorrow and pain

To the point that their lives are at stake

Then I cry and complain because of a little rain?

Am I really thankful or am I just fake?


There are people no matter what, they have a joy in them

Because they know that their security is in Jesus

They can withstand anything, pain, loss, grief, they are a true gem

Can we still say the same for us?


We are forgiven and saved

Blessed, loved, and cherished

Let us not complain

But give thanks in the storm and through the pain
