  Doubt
  
  When black stark grief,
  Sudden and without warning,
  Strikes at our lives,
  Lays waste to our finer emotions,
  Seeks to dull or minds
  And stop our hearts from beating,
  That’s when we doubt.
  
  But why doubt, when God is still above us,
  Ready to shelter us, and with His love protect us,
  From the viler things of life.
  That would molest us,
  Even from the grief that is,
  Almost our undoing,
  Why should we doubt!
