It's not Written for You

I use to sit and watch
A mother hugging her child
Such tenderness brought
Tears to my eyes
'Why not me?'
I use to ask God
And He answered
'It's not written for you!'

I use to sit and watch
As friends shared secrets
Such trust in another
Brought tears to my eyes
'Why not me?'
I use to ask God
And He answered
'It's not written for you!'

I use to sit and watch
Lovers hold hands and kiss
Such affection for another
Brought tears to my eyes
'Why not me?'
I use to ask God
And He answered
'It's not written for you!'

I use to sit and watch
Couples repeat wedding vows
Such love for another
Brought tears to my eyes
'Why not me?'
I use to ask God
And He answered
'It's not written for you!'

I use to sit and watch
Doctors making people well
Such a gift of healing
Brought tears to my eyes
'Why not me?'
I use to ask God
And he answered
'It's not written for you!'
