Take Me

Bring me home to God in Heaven,
To where eternal resting lies--
Above the world, no longer broken,
Sleeping safely in the skies.

So now in this chanting sorrow,
In these tears which I abide,
Nevermore shall be tomorrow,
With the aid of suicide.

Grant me now a courage waiting
To stay and live upon this earth.
But what now is the point of living,
If I've not here since my birth?

Tragically sad poetry, well written and packs a punch. Last verse is a killer.

'But what now is the point of living,
If I've not here since my birth?'

I like the finish with a question, left me to further ponder this read. Kudos Skittles!
