I Thought That Was Understood Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Make the effort and do your part.
Show you've taken 'some' initiative,
Right from the start.
Fear not the experience of it!

You pray!
And with 'faith' you say...
'Let God lead!
He doesn't need to have others,
In His way.
God is there.
Let Him deliver you,
To where you need to be.'

Instead...
Like so many seen,
You are often observed dragging hopelessly...
On scraped and bruised knees.
As if God adores the agony.

~And all that is required from these folks,
Is just to ask.
I thought that was understood? ~
