When people ask Why

When people ask why
I laugh in the mist of pains,
I give them an answer.
When they ask why I succeed
when others fail,
I give them a similar answer.
When asked how I
survived the many bites
of this year’s snakes,
I gave the same answer.
Now they asked how I got to
the last day of the year,
and I said, "it’s not about me:
you see that hand?
It’s the hand of God;
It’s all about Him.
