Shall We Receive the Good and Not Receive the Bad?

The Reason:

My life is vile

         I hate it so

         I’ll wait awhile   

         And then I’ll go.

         Why wait at all?

         Hope springs alive,

         Good may befall   

         I yet may thrive.

It is because I can’t make up my mind   

If God is good, impotent or unkind.

Stevie Smith.
