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 you 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.”
