MY NEXT LIFE
MY NEXT LIFE
These last five and sixty years
Mainly tears and little laughter
Yet after all this time, I’m sure
That more of this I don’t deserve
A curve in the direction of time
To climb up to the higher plane
And again, I shall wonder why
If I cry, nothing seems to change
So strange, the next life beckons
And reckons I am due a break
At stake, my long held dreams
It seems they may become real
I feel ready, and willing to see
And be grateful for my next life

My Next Life
My first read of this was that it was fairly deep in content, and it is. But reading a few more times, I feel almost at ease, accepting. There seems to be a peaceful feeling after a struggle. Intriguing.
Thank you,
