Shall See Sarah Soon
Shall See Sarah Soon
Heard her crying the other day
Was not sure what I should say
She kept crying more and more
Then her I started praying for.
God, she's such a nice, sweet child
Her I would never have beguiled
Been telling truth in my each breath
Am afraid to hear about her death.
How could God give her cancer?
There must be some other answer
Hidden on earth here somewhere
For her very much always do care.
Started to sing Sarah softly to sleep
Then we buried her way down deep
And the last thing I ever said to her
Was love you certainly and for sure.
Prayed day after day over tiny grave
My soul for her has become a slave
To who she was and all her being
Soon in heaven Sarah will be seeing.
A kind, precious thing she has been
And it is only God who knows when
So for daughter did write this song
See Sarah soon and won't be long.

Does my poem deserve to be a perfect seven?
And if so I would end up in poetry heaven.
