I Always Wish...

I always wish it rains

In those times when the sun over me shines beyond the norm.

But again I wish it shines

In the times when I'm standing all alone amid the raging storm.

I always wish to start

Working out a plan that has sprouted in my mind

But then it all falls apart

When I turn out to be the best_ the best from behind

I always wish to go and meet

My very own who've already gone into the afterlife,

For I only yearn for a seat

In the glories of heaven after all this world's trivial strife.

I always wish i could just sit down and cry

When the blows of life tend to hit me way too hard

But then I'm always urged the more to stand up and try

As I keep my eyes fixed on God's eternal word.
