Poetry: Talking with God

by Jodie Murphy

Created on: March 09, 2010

My message to god ...

Dear god this is my message to you

I just want to tell you what I am going through

You chose which angels to take

And I don't want you to make a mistake

You see, you broke my heart once before

Took all I had and lived for

Now you're threatening to do the same again

But this time I can't live with the pain

I'm not trying to change your mind

Or tell you how to rule our land

I know you have control and power

You hold that key so sought after

You take good people and make them angels

Guide them to heaven and give them wings to fly

Show them a new life

I know we never really die

So you want to take him to heaven above

Take away his hate and make him a symbol of love

But there's so much he wants to do in this world

He has a story that needs to be heard

I know him, his heart and mind

And I know he is one of a kind

I understand why you want to take him away

And it's selfish to ask you to let him stay

But I can't live otherwise

So please god if you're going to take him to be an angel for you

Then please take me too.
