All Good Gifts

If everything around us is from God
How can we discriminate between them?
The beautiful, the normal, and the odd
As we have lived, and loved, and seen them
Are equally of God; so is the pain,
The awfulness of every worsening day
That presses like a thunderstorm, the drain
Of walking weary under skies of grey.
If all of it is God's, how can we choose?
A holy favor means a holy fault.
The good we gain; the good we also lose
Collectively define divine gestalt.
And yet this does not mean we cannot tell.
It only means we must turn ill to well.
