"The soul comes from without into the human body as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew .... it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal." Quote by _Ralph Waldo Emerson Was conceived to life just an it, I was part of God's perfect creation: My main part was a soul that fit, with parts of my parents contribution: Within, a soul became my foundation, born a girl of delight; my family had a celebration ... Born in falling snow- white ! Was told at Sunday church to sit, and to listen without hesitation: And to Roman Catholic commit, as I grew older it was confusion: All that talk about ever damnation, oh, I felt quite contrite; it all felt like a lovely delusion ... Born in falling snow- white ! Why are we here? I said with grit, and I started an investigation: My computer went searching- click, shell, with a soul of no limitation: And with possible reincarnation, float and drift like a kite; die, come back, former life separation ... Born in falling snow- white ! We should live without evil temptation, let kindness be the light; let souls reach far with imagination ... Born in falling snow- white !
