And God Said
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That' is why I
gave your tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, That is why I gave
you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I
gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, "I saw mine nailed
to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved
one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "god, where are they
now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the light."
I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, "I know."
