Why wait until old or frail <br />Before asking whence we came? <br />Were we, before we appeared here <br />On earth some bright star? Endearing <br />To many is that we, aware <br />Of earth's real need, chose this caring <br />Role. Heart beating love towards all <br />Will bring peace, but does not recall <br />The true state we dwelt in back then. <br />At times, the mind seems to sense when <br />There was no earthy form folding <br />Wraps around our radiant soul. <br />Was our whole spirit revolving <br />Around lovelight and life, solving <br />This problem of place, as above <br />Us, pervading all, was Pure Love <br />Weaving true peace? Asked then to prove <br />We could become earth-bound, and move <br />When invited, to bring again <br />Whispers from God, do we remain? <br />When we know heaven is not far <br />And never forget who we are. <br />Can we be true? If so we know <br />There is so much more work to do.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whence-came-we/
