I like the picture

Grief has washed my heart like melting rain

Now I’m pure as silk without a stain 

I’m thin as grass and green as any leaf

All is well above but not beneath. 

Grief can cleanse us if we bear the pain 

And when the rest are gone what will remain?

They say that Jesus died between two thieves. 

I like the picture though I’ve no belief.

For two long years I in a bed did lie.

Until I told my heart we must not die

Please accept my sentiments request 

That when we die there will be no more tests

And so we come again to grief and loss

In my hell hot bed I  burn and toss 

How long for rain how long for the ice.

Ask me once but never ask me twice.
