“But This I Know” is the very first poem I wrote when overcome with pain and hurt back in 2005. The desire to write it came after a close friend of mine, who was also going through her own trials, told me she could not understand anymore how God would let her suffer so greatly. She wrote a poem “I Do not Know…”. I agreed and understood what she was sharing, but wanted to figure out and respond to our pain with what I do know about God, even if we did not understand. Hence the poem.
