Death’s unknown gripped
my fear of leaving home.
Haley’d have laughed at me,
if it was me,
I’d have given her hell,
if she knew I was,
but I’m not today.
Afraid of death,
I’m not afraid, Haley.
If you can hear me,
I just wanted you to know.
If Haley knew I was
afraid to die,
she’d tease
me until I cried.
But the day Haley
departed this world,
without saying goodbye,
so, like her,
warmth washed across
my heart.
I hope Haley knows,
I’d have fought the angels
before I’d let her go.
I’d have ripped Heaven
and Earth to save you.
I mean, isn’t that what
Jesus would do for you?
Haley said death isn’t the end.
She said a new beginning awaits
outside the vision of our world’s view.
I left Haley in God’s hands,
as though I had a choice.
God healed death’s sting,
and death isn’t afraid of me
and neither am I.
