Life Isn’t Fair! (PS. Thank God.)

When I am wont to complain
about the falling of the rain
on the just and unjust alike

Or when I secretly desire
for God to rain fire
on who I think deserves a strike,

I remember the scrapes
and the multitude of escapes
when I did not get what I deserved.

For the mistakes I have made
surely made the grade
for justice on me to be served.

Yet somehow by God’s grace
in case after case
from judgement I’ve been spared.

So when I’m prone to judge,
there’s a gentle nudge
and I’m reminded that life isn’t fair.
