Good and Evil in the Life of a Disabled Christian
Oh Lord,
bad things can happen to you
when you are diagnosed
with a mental illness.
But I've got You
and that makes up
for everything evil in my life.

I don't really know

I can't see You clearly.
But I can see your face
reflected in the morning sun
right in front of me.
You must be magnificent!
