| With a tear in my eye, I threw my fists towards the sky and I screamed "Dear God, why do people have to die?!" Time heals all wounds, that's what they say so please, Dear God, take this pain away..... and as I stood by myself, all alone in the dark crying and sighing at the edge of the park the skies opened up and the rain started falling Though I didn't see God, I surely heard His voice calling He said "Be easy, my child, for I truly feel your pain." Then He held me, and warmed me, and dried me from the rain He said "I've listened to your anger, and I've watched as you cried I have felt every pain that you've ever had inside This isn't the first time that I've watched you fall and at all of your darkest hours, who do you call When you are scared, when you hurt, it's always the same When you are sad, or alone, it's then you call out my name Just look at yourself, open your eyes and see it's when I take away from you that you come closer to me I know what I'm doing, child, and make no mistake I take care of, forever, those that I take" As I stood there with God, no longer alone in the dark thinking and rethinking at the edge of the park I understood the good and the bad were already planned and I started walking home with God holding my hand |

This isn't the first time that I've watched you fall and at all of your darkest hours, who do you call When you are scared, when you hurt, it's always the same When you are sad, or alone, it's then you call out my name
Just look at yourself, open your eyes and see it's when I take away from you that you come closer to me I know what I'm doing, child, and make no mistake I take care of, forever, those that I take"

I wouldn't change a word! Now, doesn't that look pretty? To do this, I hit the very last button on the second line of the formatting buttons (the one with two A's in it. It helps to clear up all the mumbo jumbo you sometimes see when you post your work). Next, I spaced the stanzas apart. Finally, I highlighted the whole poem, hit the center button (the 6th button on the top of the line of the formatting buttons). And, walla!
