I Had a Life

I had a life. I used to walk down there, in the days of old; From way up here, I still hear their words. I lived that life, in a world I no longer share; Now I’m lucky enough to be flying up here, higher than the birds. I have walked on the land where Mahatma Gandhi had walked; I have talked with the people, with whom Nelson Mandela had talked. I went to war, to secure peace, in the name of love; I lost it all to the writers, the fighters and the children of God. I spent my free time living with the men, Women and children of our lives. Now I spend my time up here with those same people; I am dancing with the angels, way above the sky. Humans touched my soul; I am, was and could still be loved. I was kneeling at Jesus’ feet when they hung him on a cross. I have seen the worst of humanity And I have sat and broken bread with the best of the good. I have forever been at peace with the hippies And I have spoken with philosophers, The stranger, the dead and the lost. I evolved with the Neanderthals and ran free with the Gazelle’s. I lived, I loved, I died; I saw Heaven and I feared Hell. I became immortal and became consecrate in God’s eyes… I was there; I was human; I had a life. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
