Sometimes……..

Sometimes we pray to God,

And we get what we prayed for,

Sometimes that makes us happy,

Sometimes, it makes us sad.

Sometimes we pray to God,

And we do not get what we prayed for,

Sometimes that makes us sad,

Sometimes, it makes us happy.

Sometimes we pray to God,

And we get the things we hoped for,

Sometimes that makes us happy,

Sometimes it makes our hearts even harder.

Sometimes we do not pray to God,

And we get what we did not pray for,

Sometimes that makes us happy,

Sometimes that makes us sad (Mike Abuli)

Sometimes we do not pray to God,

And we do not get what we hoped for,

And we never really know,

How things would have turned out,

When all we had to do was ask!
