your ways

sometimes i just can’t
understand your ways
much less explain them
they are too deep
and too mysterious
for my little mind to grasp

sometimes your ways
look too hard and too sad
and even a bit too harsh
to actually come from
your loving hand

but for some reason
you are the one
who brings beauty from ashes
who brings joy from sorrow
who brings life from death
who turns mourning into dancing

for how can we appreciate
beauty if not for ashes
or joy if not for sorrow
or dancing if not for mourning

for some crazy reason
you chose to bring about
the best things of this life
via the most painful

so instead of trying
to understand your ways
i will just keep on dancing
and keep on trusting
even when i can’t see
what you are up to

for your thoughts
are not my thoughts
and your ways
are not my ways
