Shavon Lewis Poet Blank verse

I Was There

I was there when you laid in the rain
I held your hand and felt your pain
I was there, I saw you cry
I held your hand and wiped your eyes
I was there when you laid in the rain
I held your hand and took your strain
God was there too
He wanted something, and it was you
We were there, the day you died
Right there with you, as you cried
God picked you up and cleared your eyes
He said “follow me son to paradise”
I didn’t want to, but I let your hand go
I watched as your wings began to grow
I was there when you laid in the rain
I held your hand and felt your pain
God assured me that he’d take care of you
I let you go, even though I didn’t want to
I turned around and began to cry
You kissed my cheek and wiped my eyes
You promised me that you were alright
And you’d never forget, I was there that night!!
