Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

I Hope This Is the Last Time

They are super sweet, said the cherub baby maker soul feeding angels.
Will they agree on parents though?
They must, or they cannot return to the challenge realm.
Maybe not returning would be good for them, one suggested.
I like having them around. They keep things lively and fun.
But alas, the twins did agree on parents, and were sent to the challenge realm.
Oh man! Said one. “I thought I got it right the last time!”
“I hope this is the last time,” thought the other twin.
A new grandmother full of perfume snatched him up, practically smothering him.
“You should be used to it,” his twin said.
Snickering until Grandpa grabbed him up and smashed him against his Old Spice neck.

L Milton Hankins December 2, 2022 at 7:47 PM I know this is a valid theory of reincarnation, Caren, but I've often wondered about those souls that don't want a do-over? Perhaps their previous life was just fine. Do they have to come back? Caren Krutsinger December 3, 2022 at 6:50 PM I think they chose to stay in heaven but have to do a lot of research and it takes longer to get to the point where they become one with the God-mind if they choose that path.
