Reincarnation Revisited

A touchy subject to say the least Have certain thoughts of my own Still no matter what anyone thinks How's about we leave reincarnation alone Once is enough for this old guy A real touchy subject for sure Retracing my crazy teenage years Wouldn't want again to again endure What about my very first job interview Sweating to beat the band First, middle, and even my last name Scribbled on the back of my hand No thanks, once is definitely enough But if I could just change a couple of things Marry a sweet young Hollywood starlet And be able to act and sing Okay, maybe I'll change my mind I'm now all for reincarnation If I had the chance to choose who I am Love to be a great singing sensation A touchy subject to say the least Have certain thoughts of my own Still no matter what anyone thinks How's about we leave this subject alone © Jack Ellison 2014

At 17 I died and saw God. Coming back's not for me. His love will keep me in his orbit forever. He sent me back, said I had more to do. I won't be frightened to die again. But pain makes me run. My Dad says: Getting old isn't for the faint of heart. My Dad beat cancer at 82. Hubby's Mom has it now. Getting there's hard. Facing it's no picnic, but the rewards are so VERY great. Stay with us for a while longer. I'd miss you. If I go... smile and keep writing. You're at your best when writing.
