God<br />
is<br />
always<br />
having<br />

death<br />
has<br />
suddened<br />
upon<br />
us,<br />
. . . faith<br />
is<br />
a<br />
way<br />
of<br />
covering<br />

me,<br />
that<br />
I<br />
could<br />
never<br />
hit<br />
two<br />
curve<br />
balls<br />
in<br />
a<br />
row.<br />
I<br />
didn’t<br />
hit<br />
it<br />
last<br />
night<br />
and<br />
I<br />
never<br />
saw<br />
this<br />
one<br />
