Reborn

I am cold,
I am alone.
I am old,
I sit on my own.

I lurk in the dark,
Waiting for the night.
Longing for the everlasting spark,
That will soak me in light.

I need too feel warmth on my skin,
I need to love, no matter creed or kin.
I need to smile
I need to laugh, if only for a short while.

For a second, I am in the light,
But in seconds, it’s gone again.
I am left with the lingering night.
I am left with the forgotten pain.

While life passes by,
My years whoosh past.
How I let my time fly.
Please make yours last.

I need more time,
Why me? Did I commit a crime?
What did I do wrong?
Now I don’t have very long.

No friend’s to miss me
There are no goodbyes,
I have no one, No family.
Or people to stand and cry.

Well, here it is,
The door opens to eternal bliss.
There He stands,
The White Man.

But now I am here, it’s all too late.
This place is empty.
As I was no one, I had no fate.
I will be alone, like I should be,

Are there no good people in this world?
No kind and giving boys and girls.
No people making a life for some one.
I hope they realise later what they have done wrong.

There lies my soulless shell,
Well at least I have been found.
I here the midnight bell,
Near where I lie on the ground.

I turn around,
I hear a voice.
“Do you want to return to ground?
I’m offering it’s your choice!”

I consider the question,
I thank him for the suggestion,
I accept him; I stand in the pouring rain.
I am Reborn again.

I have a goal now,
I have a need to work for someone.
Just needing a way how,
And I have begun.

Now I know death is not the end,
I will take all the chances given.
I will be a helping friend.
I thank God, for the being forgiven.

I walk the road with no signs.
I avoid the blackening lines.
For being given a final chance.
I will charge at life, with a lance.
