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.
