The Gift

I am younger than many but old enough to have experienced a little bit of this life.
And through whatever little I had to face, I have harnessed knowledge more than many.
Yet I am not tired of knowing it all, cause I am not afraid of what lay ahead of me,
I am amazed that why me, out of all, have You chosen to show life's chaos and harmony.
You have given the likes of us a sensibility so great and refined that we can feel it all.
Be it between the lines of a story untold or the verses of a long forgotten song,
We have heard, read and seen it all, but what is tantalizing is the sensation,
Which we get when we are lost in the meaning and that evokes a feeling so strong.
I am not complaining cause I feel it is a gift, a gift of understanding Your law and order.
And the only way to keep it going is to plunge time and again into the dark night,
Without losing faith in You and with the preset that what happens is for our good-
Cause the one who has never tasted foul will not get to acknowledge when it is just right.
