When My Whole World Did Fall Apart Poem by Gert Strydom

When my whole world did fall apart
I could not find any answers,
I had been too disillusioned and blinded
with the thunders bashing down mercilessly

but then I did talk with the God of the universe,
did remind Him that I am still His child,
in the soft evening wind
I did notice His image for mere moments.

That life is sometimes without mercy
that a person has to try time and again,
although everything seems hopeless

must trust past meaning and knowledge
nobody could teach me
while my eyes were focussed on the living God.
