THE DAY WHEN GOD ALMOST GAVE UP

When God showed His anger,
His relentless fury,
Took to Earth with His hand.
Releasing a maelstrom,
Of unforgiving storms,
Robbing comfort and peace.

His voice thundered loudly,
Screaming for all to stop,
But did people listen?
God often gave warnings,
Shaking Earth to the core,
As He released earthquakes.

Wrath of destruction hits,
As far as one can see.
Ravaging every thing,
Before their very eyes.
Within seconds of time,
Having lost all they know.

Wind howling in much pain,
Flattening all in sight.
Fires burning remnants,
Leaving yesterdays gone.
Floods washing all away,
Vacating what remains.

They stood there all alone,
Nearly begging for help.
He gave many warnings,
Sharing how hard He tried.
All they heard, being said,
He pushed people away.

When clearly it was them,
With no sense of faith left.
Religious discussion,
Left the church years ago.
Some left only last year,
Even more left with more years past.

Conversation remains,
Amongst close family,
Friends nearby and others.
With religion long gone,
Faint signs of faith exists,
Brings hope for tomorrow.

Some say hope may return,
When we open our hearts,
Asking God’s forgiveness.
Only then, His fury,
Cautiously, frees His grip,
With tomorrow’s sunrise.
