Dear Lord
I can’t deal with death
It makes me lose my breath
Strips me from every word
Today a dear friend at work had died
We were shocked and currently I’m on the denial side
Memories of long ago once again relived
Death so final, so cruel, a very bad adrenaline ride
When I heard the bad news today, it made me feel terrified
I can’t bear the thought to see someone very close to me die
Yet I know we all have to go some or other time
To a place where there’s no hurt, pain, sadness, suffering, no crime
A blessing indeed, I know, for those who pass on
But not a nice experience for those left behind when they’re gone
They say we must rejoice when someone dies
But if I say I feel glad and I accept death, it will all be lies
I’m selfish Lord, I don’t want to be left alone, again feel that pain
Old memories of an extreme loss are imprinted in my brain
Lord, if someone close to me would die, I won’t make it, no!
I beg You… a selfish plea… please let me the first to go…
Dear Lord
I can’t deal with death
It makes me lose my breath
Strips me from every word...
