Leaving in the Morning (Free verse) by leviathan
Say hello to Saint Peter for me
I've come to understand that you
are destined to see him this morning
When the journey is done and at Heaven's gate you arrive
Tell the angels not to wait up for me
for I won't be following you this time
As you are taking the grand tour, give this messege to Jesus
I'm entrusting her to you, dear Lord
as I myself am still merely a fetus
I cannot devour deadly disease the way you can
I cannot give sight to the blind with a wave of my hand
I am not yet a man for there is too much I do not understand
I have no faith Lord, and yet I love this girl
She has been my anything and everything
But as strong as I wish I was I cannot save her
And now I must believe that somehow you can.
