In loving memory of our beloved Jack C. Stockard, who passed away four years ago today.

I said, "God I hurt."

And God said, "I know."

I said, "God I cry a lot."

And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."

I said, "God, I am so depressed."

And God said, "That's is 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, it hurts."

And God said, "I know."

I said, "God, my loved one died."

And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "God, it is such a loss."

And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross."

I said, "God, but your loved one lives."

And God said, "So does yours."

I said. "God, where are they now?"

And God said, "Mine is on my right and yours is in the light."
