This, to me, is kind of a good poem, yet still abstract. I don't doubt the emotional impact of this song. I cry almost every time I hear it, because it renews the faith in me that God is going to take care of me when I leave this earth. I could almost say I relate to the grandfather verse, but I did not have a relationship with my grandfather before he died, unfortunately. This is definitely an emotional piece, and one of the best confrontational pieces I've seen so far. Experiencing the death of a loved one is a very psychological experience, and pieces like this one effectively confront the part of you that wants to hide all that fear, anger, depression, or what have you, inside. Poetry confronting death is some of the most emotional work I've written and read.
