Make Me a Poet In Heaven

Perfect in me the gift
That I might perform in tune
To the maker of the stars
And the face upon the moon

Create in me an artist
Who would paint his masterpiece
From the journal of his heart
To the canvas altarpiece

Make in me the poet
With an everlasting script
Whose words reflect the glory
Of the Riser from the crypt

Writing verses for the angels
The little babies never born
A special place reserved in Heaven
Where every heartbeat is a poem

Touch me with your spirit
To inspire me with peace
Forming words into a genesis
That forever shall increase
