A Request To God Poem by Ray Hansell

God she is so very sick
I don't know what to do
That's why I'm here tonight
Having a talk with you

Her pain is unbearable
As she slowly fades away
I'm hoping that maybe
It can all end today

She never wanted to go like this
She wanted it to be fast
She had no way of knowing
How long the lingering would last

But she did have a wish
And that wish was to die with dignity
I think that's the way all of us
Feel how the end should be

So if You can find it
In Your heart tonight
Please don't let her see
The dawn's early light

That would be the best thing
For everyone you see
Even though i know
It will break the heart in me

But I can't be selfish
I cannot only think of me
I must think of her
And, the better place she'll be
