I'll go to the dollar store, <br />Buy a picture frame <br />For all the world to see <br />The loving side of me. <br /> <br />I cannot plant that cross. <br />I will not lay that curse. <br />But I'll carry it to hell and back <br />With it bare of any nails. <br /> <br />I cannot look up with open tears. <br />I will not stand at its foot. <br />But I'll comfort Mary best I can <br />When home she comes again. <br /> <br />I'll go to the years begging pardon <br />For things we've never done. <br />I'd have deflected the spear <br />From Heaven, but, once <br /> <br />I lived in the Garden.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/picture-frame-around-the-garden-of-eden/
