There I was, sitting on my cloud
God floated by and looked at me
“You look bloody miserable!” He said
He pulled up a cloud and sat next to me
“What’s the trouble?” he asked
“You are!” I replied
“Now what have I done?”
“You have taken my lover from me!”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well her mind is closing.
She is not the person I knew”
“What do you mean by that” he asked
“Well all her life she has worshipped you
Sang your praises.
And what to you do?
You take her voice from her!”
“It was only to protect her” He said
“She could have lost her voice completely!”
“It may well be that way, but singing was her life!”
“She has other things; she has you!”
“But you are even taking that from her!
Her mind is closing into a dementia world
Which is starting to keep me out” I replied
“What has she done to deserve that”
“She is still with you in body” he uttered
“Yes she may well be
But she can hardly walk
I have to take her in a wheelchair now”
“At least you are fit enough to help her” he replied
“But what if I am not, what happens then?”
“There are people who will help her”
“I vowed ‘In sickness and in health’ in front of you
Are my vows not sacred to you?”
“Of course they are, as they are to you” he said
“So why are you punishing her
Or are you punishing me!!”
“No I a not punishing you
It is a test, to see how strong you are”
“Why are you testing me?
It seems like a punishment”
God got up from his cloud and started to drift away
He looked back and said
“You will see, you will see”
