Notes About The Poem

My New Dawn

Reborn here now without baggage-
since this, my final day came round;
pure, within my spirit package-
I go with joy, now heaven-bound.

I leave behind my weighty shell;
reborn here now without baggage, 
and pray to God, I used it well
so He now grants me safe passage.

He lifts my soul, free from damage,
to take me home where I belong.
Reborn here now without baggage-
His angels greet me with a song.

And at the gate, my loved ones who
before me, passed- with love, manage
our long-awaited rendezvous;
reborn here now without baggage.

Great meaning to your verse, our souls live in this shell until time God calls us. Good luck in the contest.
