The rain falls heavy on my shoulders
The wind keeps blowing to the west
I have to fight to keep from falling
My faith in you my only strength
The road looms dark, cold and lonely
I can’t see much of what’s ahead
But I know I must keep believing
And you will take care of the rest
The snow weighs heavy on my shoulders
The cold has seeped into my chest
But I find comfort in your promise that
In heaven lies a bed
With a blanket warm as red
And the softest cloud to cradle my head

I would like to translate this poem
The melancholy mood, especially the cold seeping into your chest is so effective. The triple rhyme at the end of the last three lines not only completes the poem beautifully, but give a snug cosy feel that everything is all right and you can stay in bed in heaven for ever....10 Karin Anderson
