~* Life *~

What is life?
Is it a test?
Pass
Or
Fail?
Is it a place to learn and grow?

When I was young,
Long, long ago,
There was only
Me.

I guess most people know there is more
But
For me, no one explained that to me.

So I went merrily on my
Me- way
For a very long time.

People came and went:
Grandparents,
Parents,
Friends,
Even children.

They passed through that door into,
Well, who knows where?

Into Heaven?
Into Nothingness?
Into Space?
Or,
Did they merge back into the Allness?

Are we not all part of each other:
Plants,
Animals
People?

How can anyone not see that?
Even in my ... Me-ness
I knew that.

Now I'm older and I understand more,
Not everything,
But more.
I know I'm growing
Each and everyday.

I have lived a blessed life
But it seems now it's my turn to pay the piper.

Have I grown enough to do it?
Do I have a choice?
No, no choice--
Only to live everyday the best I can.
I don't always make it.
Somedays are harder and I fail.

What will tomorrow bring?
I guess we are not meant to know.
Maybe if we knew, we would not even be able
To get up and face the day.
But
I am better than I was

I've actually learned there is much much more than ... Me.

I will do my best and hope it's enough
And one day
I will pass through that door
And finally ... Know.
