Ive come to the conclusion that
God loves me a lot!
He is sending me trial after trial!
No, Im not being sarcastic
I mean it!
I think God loves me a lot!
The carpet cleaner
Beats the carpet
To take away the dust
The cook keeps the soup
On fire
Until everything is cooked and soft*
The beating and the fire
Are out of love
Hard to bear
But great the result*
I think God loves me a lot
Because not only have I
Experienced sorrow and pain
I have also known exhilarating joy!
Many blessings have come my way
Freedom to write and express myself
Freedom to believe my beliefs
Freedom to be me
Ive also known the joy of
Friendship and love
And that by itself is worth so much!
Joy and sorrow
Two sides of a coin
One without the other impossible
