Poem

Seventy-three spins 
The earth has completed around the sun
Since the first time I saw the light of
The day 

There were a few spins I had that were full of laughter and joy
That I wished never to end
And there were those too many spins, filled with grief and tears
That I prayed to end at once
But
The earth, indifferent to my pleas kept spinning at its constant pace 
For 
It had the seasons to take care of and life on the planet
To maintain!


Now that so many years have past 
I am more mindful of the number of spins that still remain
But 
Even if one more spin or less remains for me to go around our life giving sun  
I will not utter a single complain
For 
All along I knew a mortal to be,
A mere speck of this holy dust that all bodies are made from
Which, after I am gone, to dust will return 
But
My spirit, obeying neither the law of gravity nor the laws of 
Growth and decay 
Its ethereal wings will unfold and soar to heavens,
To the planes of spiritual existence-- far from earthly suffering and 
All other worries ,
Where in the presence of its creator will itself find, ready to report all 
Of its actions while was incarcerated in a human body 
Then
It will wait to receive--as all of us will-- the fairest of all
Judgments! 

P.S.: What a ride it has been so far...never boring!

*I was born on Tuesday, August 15, 1944 at 04:00 p.m.
Three times I came close to die but the good Lord kept me alive for that 
reason I cannot complain even if there were no more spins left for me to go
round but certainly will not turn down any additional spins offered! Haha!
