Emil Hagström: 'Vittnesbörd'



 TESTIMONY

 

I’m dead pleased

that I’m the one I am

and not some other feller.

I’m dead pleased

that life’s the way that it is

and ain’t just what I think.

For if life was just

the way I thought it was

that’d be downright awful

I’m dead pleased

that God Almighty’s

what he maybe is,

for if he was what I thought

he was

that’d be downright awful.
