Last Wish
When I slip into the coma
Of reverence and light
I ask to keep my heart
When I fall into the night.
Lord take my body
And every other piece of me
But in the essence of my heart
I ask you leave it be.
Take my legs that led me through
The path you chose for me.
Take my arms that reached so high
Accepting Thou as Thee.
Take my brain full of numbers
Letters, words and thought.
For it will get me nowhere
In the land I have been brought.
Lord I haven't asked for much
So please grant my final wish.
Let me take my heart with me
To forever keep the love I've lived.
