If God Should Take Poem by John Bliven Morin

If God should take you first,
For reasons beyond my ken,
I’d be missing half my heart
And soul and be alone again.

I’d know that you’ll be waiting,
Somewhere across the sea,
For the ship that will be carrying
My love and soul to thee.

If God should take me first,
Though you can’t understand,
I’d want you to find the courage
To live life while yet you can.

And know that I’ll be waiting
To see your ship’s white mast,
Approaching from far out at sea,
And we are one at last.
