Qod has brought you a mightytong wayTijouve been through /ire and youve been through stormy weather. You /ought your battles and you won them all. Qod gave you a test and youve passed, tie gave you a challenge - but tie knew you could handle it, because Qod will never give you more than you can bear. Qod came to you and asked, "O my child, are you ready to go on a challenge vuith me." You responded, "Yes, my Qod," and tie took you atvay. He gave you your wings so you could fly and you waved good-bye. You left everyone with tears, but it was tears of Joy. You were finished fighting, you were finished with all the pain and everyone knew you was on your way to
be with Qod.
