I asked God, “Why do you have to create pain and hurt?
Why not laughter and cheer?
Why do we have to cry?
Why not all smiles painted in our faces?

He held my hand and said,
My child, you would not have time to THANK ME when you are always happy
Sometimes I let you experience pain and sadness for you recognize ME!!!

Remember, whatever happens, everything has a purpose
I always give a rainbow after the rains….
