HEAVEN CAN WAIT

DONT TELL ME THOSE ANCIENT TALES 
OF FALLEN ANGELS 
AND THE ONES THAT PREVAILED 

I HAVE NO DESIRE 
TO READ THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS 
OR THE STORIES IN BOOK OF GENESIS 
THAT WAS TOLD, LONG, LONG, AGO

WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THE FALL OF MAN
AND WHO HAS SEEN THE FACE OF GOD
OR KNOWS HIS PLANS 

EACH DAY I AM FACED
WITH THE STRUGGLES OF LIFE 
WORKING MY FINGERS TO THE BONE
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE 

I AM TOSSED IN ALL DIRECTIONS 
UNAWARE OF MY FATE 
BUT I AM DETERMINED 
TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS AND DREAMS 
SO FOR ME… HEAVEN CAN WAIT.

WILFORD BARKER.
