The Unfinished Prayer

by WakeboardxChick   Jul 27, 2005


I wait inside the waiting room
Crying over my best friend
The doctor gave me the news
And said i can go in

So there I stood beside her bed
Then to me she quietly said
"Lean a little closer, I have a secret to tell,
I want to go to heaven I don't want to go to hell.

My mom always used to dress me Up
And take me to church to learn
But i never excepted Christ you see
Now my soul will forever burn

My Sunday school teacher,
Always use to say
if you haven't already
Except the lord today.'

But I always thought
I had plenty of time,
Because dieing never
crossed my mind

Now i lie in major pain, alive, though i wish i were dead
And i cant stand to look at you
Crying beside my bed

I know you'll go to heaven
You told me once you would
But now that death's right before me,
now I wish I could.

So now I'm gonna close my eyes
Close yours to and I'll pray
So right here right now, I'm going to except the lord today.

Dear lord,
I just don't know where to start
I believe in you
from the bottom of my heart

I know that I do wrong,
and I just want you to know"
Thats all that my friend got to say,
Before she had to go.

She couldn't finish praying
She died at 9:07
And every now and then i wonder
"Did she go to heaven"

I sometimes just imagine us
together in his hands
I try to reassure myself that he'll understand

She was giving my life, to put in his sweet book
But before she finished,
that one simple prayer
her soul was forever took

Maybe if i wouldn't of said something earlier
then i could be sure
but now memories fill my head
and realities a blur.

All i had to do
is say a couple of words,
I regret asking so
much that it hurts

"Are you saved?"
would of done
"Do you know
the father and the son"

But its to late to go back
It's reality, it's a fact

But I pray, oh please God be
That my best friend is looking down on me.

    This is an amazing poem. I used to be a Christian, so I can sort of relate.....I've never liked religious poems (unless they were of my religion) but this one was really good. My friend recently died...and she was scared that she'd go to heaven instead of hell....so in a way I can sort of relate to you.
