Earth Life
The crescent moon was waxing
There were twinkles in the dark sky
I was in my rocker relaxing
Thinking of days gone by

Of all the days I lived on Earth
From baby up to the present
Days when there was laughter and mirth
Days when there was torment

Once as a baby less than a year
In my crib in the dark I cried
My big sister spoke and made me fear
So I kept my sad inside

The time I was left on the front stairs
Waiting to go to a new place
My mother just left me without any cares
I would never again see her face

The time when I had no parents at all
My Dad left me too
To be on my own I was too small
I didn't know what to do

Alone was I all my life it seems
Not belonging anywhere
Except I had family in my dreams
Awake there was no one to care

Struggling to live best as I could
I made it. Now I am old
Looking back I did pretty good
It's just about over so I'm told

Having no regrets of what happened to me
It was no ones fault cause I chose
To come here to live and to be
Just what I am, and that's how one grows

I have found my own fold
My own people you see
I now belong, am not out in the cold
I know the shepherd and he knows me

My Earth mission is over. I'm filled with glee
We'll be leaving soon
In a ship that's not of the sea
Up and away by the light of the moon.
