Earth Life

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. Copyright © 2005 Lunaria (Lila May Guptill)
