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
