Reincarnation

Reincarnation

Wear was frayed, colour was fade,
had begun rotting, it's threads.
It looked so shabby, 
that bowed down my head.
To change it, I did decide,  people say I was died.

It was not able to support me,
thus I threw for the new hunt.
Didn't look behind to know,
whether it was buried or burnt.
Being eaten by the termites, people say I was died.  

Dressed in the new costumes,
now I look a new gentleman.
Greeted by the new people
in a different new domain.
In new costumes I feel pride, people say I was died.

If this too, goes old and frayed,
I won't have any hesitation.
In replacing again for the new,
you may call it reincarnation.   
To see the new dawn’s light, people say I was died.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Indeed, reincarnation no different from a change of clothes but with one caveat ~ memory is erased
