Question And Gratitude

I have lived longer

than Nick Virgilio; but

I am less worthy:

Lord, I am grateful for life,

yet I do not understand . . . .

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Nick Virgilio, who (in my opinion, and others') is America's greatest Haiku poet, passed away in January, 1989, at the age of sixty-one.  He was a devout Sacramentalist Christian, whose acquaintance I hope to make in Heaven.  He was a far worthier, and more accomplished Poet, than I am.  I freely admit I do not understand why God has left me here to live in my unworthiness.  I gladly put my faith in KJV Isaiah 55:8.
