Reincarnation

Three score years and ten I've seen,
from suckling babe hard to wean.
Infant small with tottering walk,
from my mother I learned to talk.
Then boisterous child, hard to hold,
Parents had to sometimes scold.
School days where I had to learn,
for the teenage I did yearn.
Then adulthood with all its cares,
a loving wife, my life does share.
Now I've outlived my stay,
I am coming to the end of my day.
One more breath or maybe two,
where my love, I'll think only of you.
Then the journey into the unknown,
Oh! How this life of mine has flown.
Up, up, into that great light,
that shines on me so wondrous bright.
Here refreshment shall be mine,
I'll stay a while in light that shines.
For later when my time shall come,
to this earth I will return as one.
Whose fulfilment on this earthly plane,
Must surely start all over again.
Through the tunnel into life,
Once again that weary strife.
Oh cosmic force, eternal be,
Let me again return to thee.
For many are the lives I've seen,
from Beggar man to royal Queen.
