Suddenly

Suddenly

my friend's 2-year old daughter

with the sparkle, the sweet grin

the bare feet

running through the grass downtown

are cold and still and lifeless

an accident

it is said

and yet God

He is sovereign

but the pain

it is real

and I pray

and weep

and mourn

and suddenly

this life seems oh

so fleeting

and my pain

seems oh so small

Suddenly
