Life is Given and Taken Away

Quickly it happened and then the questions start... Why would I be given a treasure and then have it taken away without even knowing. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye when it was happening?  I don't feel like I can find words or the emotions to cope with all that life is bringing my way. Why does God give you things and take them away? Or why do you think you will have something great and nothing happens at all.  I trust in you is all I can say. I don't understand, but I stand in the unknown and say it is well with my soul.  I trust your deeds are good and fair. You know what I treasure and you hold my needs in your hands. Hold me through the questions, sadness and hurt. Hold me and whisper the words my soul longs to hear. Tightly you hold all my fears, softly you comfort me and tell me you are near. I take these treasures and place all of them in your care. I let go of all the notions that you are not here. Wrap and gently rock me in your arms... I trust in you my friend.
