"Everything I Want to Know" By Cassandra Freiborg 7/27/05
Tell me angel,
of time and space,
how much longer,
do I have left in this place?
Will my departure be swift,
will I not be afraid?
Will I have so many regrets,
that I'll want to stay?
Will my family be by my side,
will they cry tears of pain?
Will they leave me underground,
with only a headstone to mark where I lay?
Will my friends come to visit,
will they lay flowers over my grave?
Will I be able to watch them live,
as I float off in space?
I have so many questions,
and yet Ill ask one more.
What lies in human hearts,
at a person's very core?
There just seems so much we cannot see,
and cannot comprehend,
there has to be something amazing,
lying just beyond bend.
So angel when I die,
and you come to collect my soul,
promise me you'll tell me,
everything I want to know.
