Mary Drew a Picture In My Mind

Mary drew a picture. It took a long long time All the different reasons for all the different lines Winter greys and golden days. Nothing left behind Mary drew a picture in my mind Look closely feel the laughter of the children at their games As they ran to her shelter before the winter came All the shady corners where the sun refused to shine Mary drew a picture in my mind But through it all across the page she spread a gentle light To show that everything would heal in time As though to take the sadness out of the darkest night Mary drew a picture in my mind Mary drew a picture long dried upon the page Where things like love and memories they never dim with age We keep them deep within our hearts each memory we find Where Mary drew a picture in my mind And as the years have come and gone I feel that gentle light I know that everything does heal in time Her memory takes the sadness out of the darkest night Mary drew a picture in my mind Mary drew a picture in my mind
