Laura Mckenzie Poet Free verse

Mortal Beings

Why is humanity filled with hardship for some?
And then for others a free flowing clarity
Through the years of Christianity 
I have now established a new view 
My believes of God have not changed 
Just the possibilities of an after life and the journey 
The journey of now today 
The reasons we choose who we are
It’s no mistake or coincidence who we’ve become   
Or what we come here to learn
And perhaps some of us don’t learn 
And are forced to redo it all over again 
We are truly brothers and sisters 
Mothers and daughters 
Husbands and wives 
Connected from past lives 
Experiencing life and its essence
No matter the outcome!

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 17, 2009 at 1:03 PM Laura, It surely would be nice if we could do it all over. But what if it's a one shot deal? You know, leave the preexistence, go to earth and are tested, die, go to the spirit world and live together until judgments and then, the final judgment. I guess we have to go on faith and hope we are right. God bless you. This spiritual write is impassioned and well written. Very nice job. Love, Dane
