At the edge of the park

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

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!
