"Who am I,
Can I condemn this man to slavery,
Pretend I do not feel his agony,
This innocent who wear my face,
To go through judgement in my place?
Who am I,
Can I conceal myself forevermore,
Pretend I'm not the man I was before,
And must this name until I die,
Be no more than an alibi?
Must I lie,
How can I face my fellow men?
How can I ever face myself again?
I gave my soul to God, I know,
I made that bargain long ago.
He gave me hope when hope was gone,
He gave me strength to journey on."
-Who am I
-------
On this page,
I write my last confession.
Read it well,
When I at last am sleeping.
It's a story of those who always loved you,
Your mother gave her life for you and gave you to my keeping.
Come with me,
Where chains will never bind you.
All your grief,
At last, at last behind you.
Lord in heaven;
Look down on him in mercy
Forgive me all my trespasses and take me to your glory
Take my hand,
And lead me to salvation.
Take my love,
For love is everlasting.
And remember
The truth that once was spoken:
"To love another person is to see the face of God".
