Undying Devotion

By Earl W. PearlPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

My family’s gone now all is lost

I’m staying mom, despite the cost

I know devotion has a price

Where spoken words will not suffice

Tho persecution comes our way

I promise you, I’ll always stay

I’ll serve the God who’s God to you

Wherever you go, I’ll go too

Wherever you stay, I will stay

So please stop pushing me away

You mustn’t urge me, please don’t try

Whenever you die, so will I

Now even as you welcome death

And race towards your final breath

Wherever you are, there I’ll be

The place you’re buried, bury me
