    Poem Commentary

    From my collection SPIRIT RHYMES

    Can't Predict God
    Ever notice how you can't out guess God
    Trying to figure out what he'll do?
    As soon as you do you'll soon find out
    He has many more choices than you.
    When is He going to bless my life
    Just the thought puts a smile on my face.
    I can't help but think He's laughing at me
    As I rush around place to place.
    Sometimes I try to chart the His path
    To know what's on His mind.
    Then I have to stop and laugh at myself
    My God is One of a kind.
    Its not your job to figure out how
    God brings these things to pass.
    Just drop to your knees giving Him praise
    That the blessings found you at last.
    There's only one way to know God's way
    That’s to follow His will each day.
    Then His blessings will flow into your life
    And it won’t really matter which way.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
