My Next Life

The master said it well with the statement he proclaimed

For I will be that person who has returned again

“Your iniquities shall be visited to the third and fourth generation”

That makes the time just perfect for my next incarnation

Two Thousand Eighty Six is when my next life will begin

A new and perfect body with my old soul snug within

I will start again with lessons that I am learning now

The lessons learned in this life are the things that I will know

I will take these lessons with me imprinted firmly in my soul

These things will surely take me one step closer to my goal

The world will be much different with new lessons there to learn

But what I have learned in this life will help me at that turn

I have taken many bodies; I will take at least one more

In years the cycle is a journey of one hundred forty four

The soul is on the wheel of life and goes from birth to birth

About half the time regrouping and the balance here on earth

When the time comes for my rebirth back into this place

I will choose the perfect body to rejoin the human race

There are things that I must finish, bits of karma to absolve

Certain traits that I must conquer, certain vices to resolve

I will be a better person for my soul will have evolved

Of the seven deadly sins, I know that some I have resolved

I will try to solve the others as I go through my next life

For my soul is growing weary from this worlds' pain and strife

I’ll try to do it in my next life, I have progressed much in this

But I know I’m still a few steps short of everlasting bliss

I hope to do it next time before they put me in the ground

My goal’s to do it next time, in just one more time around

I thank the god within me for his presence I can feel

And I’ll be ever grateful when I’ve evolved off this wheel

It has been a magical journey but I’m glad it’s near complete

And I will soon be occupying my lofty creators’ seat

Many thousand times I’ve come here, it has brought me here to this

Where I will soon be able to revel in its’ bliss

And be reintegrated with the universal soul

Never to return here for that’s my final goal

I have lived a good life I have learned and I have grown

I’ve accomplished many things and I will reap what I have sown

I hope that you’ll forgive me if my poems fail to rhyme

But they’ll be flowing beautifully, hopefully…… next time
