“And God Said” I said, “God, I hurt.” And God Said, “I know.” I said, “I cry a lot.” And God said, “That’s why I gave you tears.” I said, “God, I am so depressed.” And God said, “That’s 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’s such a loss.” And God said, “Mine was nailed to a cross.” I said, “God, your loved one lives.” And God said, “So does yours.” I said, “God, where are they now?” And God said, “Mine on my right and yours in the light.” I said, “God, it hurts.” And God said, “I know.”
