Song of complaint

Sadness
it’s the old question: why, why?
and added: How long, oh Lord, how long?
I’m not complaining that this shouldn’t have happened
but it just makes everything so difficult and slow
All right, I know about not expecting life to be easy
And I’m hugely grateful for everything I still have
But I don’t understand a thing
And the problem is: I am helpless
cannot run and hardly walk
cannot shout and sing
The things I once could do
No longer able
Ah well…
Say praises
Watch flowers unbudding
And rejoice
Always water in the desert
Be still and know
