The Diploma

God's Message to Woman
When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep

A lot to Give
Who made this boy believe that he couldn't stand the test
that as a human being he was different from the rest
A father who told him "Son you've come out all wrong"
Never would he fit in, nor would he belong
Why does the little girl live all alone with her fears
that

Barriers to God
The Master would insist that the final barrier to our attaining God was the word and concept "God."
This so infuriated the local priest that he came in a huff to argue the matter out with the Master.
"But surely the word 'God' can lead us to God?" said the priest.

If Tomorrow Never Comes
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,

The Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,

and call you back for
