Some people write down their problems and then burn them.

As mites of fire

bite around crumpled paper

I watch our prayers burn

I asked for God

to end our suffering

but it never came

if there is a lesson to learn

it is some things remain the same

It is hard when prayers are unanswered, but we cannot see as God does or from his perspective. That is where trust and faith come in. Beautifully shared.
