God When Are You Coming?

By: "Jazz"

God when are you coming
Ive been waiting for so long
God are you listening, or did I do something wrong
God why do you hate me, because of bad things that I have done
I know there are lots of children and that I am only one.
But if you come and take me, anything I will do
If only you will, make this one wish for me come true.

I want to stay with you in heaven
Be an angel in your sky
I want feathers or some wings
And I promise not to ever cry

I will make you very proud
The best angel I will be
I will be good and not cause no trouble
If you will just come for me.

Im sorry that I want to go
But I know that you are love
My brother says where you live, is beautiful,
Not in the clouds but high above

God I hope you like my poem
And that from there, that you can read
I'll follow you most anywhere
In you I do believe

So god when are you coming
What do I have to do?
I don't know how to do it
So I sit and wait for you.

I thought that I would
Jump out
Just like a bird that can fly
But I just cant seem to do it
Cause that would hurt ,
And what if I don't die?

I think I will wait for you at least another day
And hope its my turn soon
To come and take me away.


"Jazz" graciously shared this poem with us.
