GOD'S ROOFTOP ONE STEP TO HEAVEN | POEATREEMAN on Xanga

A STAIRWAY TO GOD

• •  
    
    I will Try
    To use my Words
    To Build
    A Stairway To God.
    
    Then
    I Can Take a  Step
    Each Day
    To Take me
    To The Stars.
    
    My Words
    Will be of  Heart
    Wrote
    By Care and  Love.
    
    The Ink I will Use
    Is Tears  That Fell
    Dipped, in Sorrows
    When Hurt  was Held.
    
    The Blotters Wet
    Stain
    With many Tears
    That Fell.
    
    I Cannot
    Wipe it Away
    By Saying,
    I never Felt..
    
    A Poeatreeman
    
    Dedicated To God
    
    If, I Built
    A Chest of Gold
    Would  it not
    Be Better
    To Put in  Words.
    
    More Precious,
    That Speak of Each?
    
    Would, not
    The Heart
    Be  Broken
    By Trying
    To Carry
    All  the  Gold?
    
    Love
    Is much Lighter
    Yet Heavy
    On the  Soul.
    
    Would  it not
    Be  Best
    If  we all Cared
    A  Little   more?
    
    Than the Words
    I Have to  Write
    Would  not be Filled
    With so much Tears.
    
    Love
    Would Hold Us
    For The  Years.
