You Never Promised

You never promised it would be easy
You said it would never be more than I could handle.
I just wish You didn't think I could handle so much.

You never promised I wouldn't ever be lonely
You said I would never walk alone.
I just wish I could feel you more.

You never promised it wouldn't hurt
You said that You would bear my pain and my shame.
I just wish I was better at giving it to you.

You never promised to give me all the answers
You said You had a plan for me beyond my wildest dreams.
I just wish I had more trust in your plans for me.

You never promised that it would all be sunshine
You said that the rain would end.
I just wish I could dance in the rain.
