Heaven


Steven climbed the water tower,
Behind the abandoned 7-11,
Every rusty rung on the ladder
Found him one foot closer to heaven.

Steven finally reached the top,
Thinking he touched the moon...
When gravity betrayed him,
He fell to his death too soon.

The water tower's still standing,
Like a giant bicycle horn;
The tribute to Steven's courage,
A reminder he was born.

Steven's evangelical church,
Preached his spirit will never leave us,
Parishioners commuting along I-5
See the horn and honk for Jesus.
