My Life My Purpose

 

In a place neither here nor there

Love with joy surround me

Strangers though I know them

Swirl in warmth around me

Soon I know I must depart

Go to a way of being 

Fear doesn't even cover it

Believing will become seeing

Being small so fragile am I

Open hearted oh so pure

Though I decided to go

Now I feel less sure

It's the world of trials

A world of learning

A world where many scoff

At a curiosity so burning

It had been over a decade

In what is called Earth time

That taught my tender soul

To express it all in rhyme

Skills were learned fast

For a tender one to realize

Far from simple speech

Mostly riddled with lies

Purest of the pure more fragile

Than I could have ever been

Sweet beasts at the mercy

In a world of cruel men

As I move through time 

Gaining traction as I go

So many lessons to learn

Much more for me to know

Working on it every day

Careful with my actions

Lest a minor slippage

Sends loved ones away

As I moved through time

Getting older was but a state

Of those who strive to excel

Of we who patiently wait

With lessons learned each day

Until returning to warm fog

A shorter life is the bane

Existing as a puppy dog
