I Am Invincible I Cannot Be Killed

I am invincible. I cannot be killed.
I cannot die. I have wondered why.
I call out to God “Thank you!” I say.
Thinking this will be my death day today.

I have had car wrecks that would have killed all others.
What is keeping me here? It cannot be my brothers.
My sister needs me not, my children are all grown.
I wonder if I will ever get back to heaven’s throne?

I think I am going to be killed and I yell out “hooray!”
But God answers back, “Sorry, Missy, not your turn today.”
Apparently I have many things to finish before I can leave here.
It makes me feel rejected sometimes. I cannot be killed, it is clear.
