Praying For Reincarnation

Praying for Reincarnation
David J Walker

David is someone else and
I am merely playing his part
Memorizing then repeating 
His lines 
	That I would never say
Stumbling over mistakes 
Begging for retakes 
Hoping I stay 
	In character 
Throughout the passions play
And then
	Play the part better
On another 
better day

David is someone else and
I am merely making a start
To my life
	Within his skin

Lighting a candle 
Praying for reincarnation
	Again
		And again

Hello David Walker, I believe in in reincarnation. The spirit is in our bodies ready to begin a new life again. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hello David Walker, this is an interesting topic. What form does life go on? That is a mystery. Yes it does give us much to write about. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Thank you, Darlene. It is such an interesting topic and idea. There is no doubt that life goes on, but in what form? IT gives us much to write about.
