ANSWERS

I prayed to God and asked him
why I had to bear this pain
I wished to know when I would see
the one I loved again

so many months with mind possessed
by thoughts of such despair
I finally found the answer
to my hearts most humble prayer

like the freezing snow waiting for the sun
upon the garden wall
to melt into a drink for flowers
sleeping since the fall

so my pain had lay within my mind
frozen in that place
until I sought the Son myself
and drank the drink of grace
