Don't Let Me Stay Poem by Edgar James Momoh

When I first came, you resisted me
But when I was about to leave
You insisted that I stayed
What changed your heart so fast
That makes you hurt at last?

Don't let me stay...
It is good that I go away for a while
And don't you mourn for me but smile
Because my absence deals more love
Than my presence would solve

So don't let me stay...
While I am gone away from you
Greater things you will do than now
Because I will be the wind in your sail
When you're toast by the waves of life

Don't you cry and don't you fret
My absence will only last for while
Before long, I will come again in the sky
But in the meantime, I live in the inside of you
So let me go...

(scriptural references John 16: 7,1Thessalonians 4: 16)
