praying for this blessing
asking for a double portion
the mantle to fall upon him
on his body, his life
wanting a double portion
to serve his people, to serve God
younger than the others
but the apprentice to Elijah
to become the Prophet
if he had eyes to see
journeying with his master
his mentor, a father figure
walking faithfully with him
to receive his mantle
the prized double portion
the inheritance from the Father
the mantle of the prophet
upon his very life
to become Elijah
to earn the double portion
needing to stay with him
to see with his own eyes
the chariot from the heavens
the horses of fire from God
