I had a life

I had a life.

I used to walk down there, in the days of old;

From way up here, I still hear their words.

I lived that life, in a world I no longer share;

Now I’m lucky enough to be flying up here, higher than the birds.

I have walked on the land where Mahatma Gandhi had walked;

I have talked with the people, with whom Nelson Mandela had talked.

I went to war, to secure peace, in the name of love;

I lost it all to the writers, the fighters and the children of God.

I spent my free time living with the men,

Women and children of our lives.

Now I spend my time up here with those same people;

I am dancing with the angels, way above the sky.

Humans touched my soul; I am, was and could still be loved.

I was kneeling at Jesus’ feet when they hung him on a cross.

I have seen the worst of humanity

And I have sat and broken bread with the best of the good.

I have forever been at peace with the hippies

And I have spoken with philosophers,

The stranger, the dead and the lost.

I evolved with the Neanderthals and ran free with the Gazelle’s.

I lived, I loved, I died; I saw Heaven and I feared Hell.

I became immortal and became consecrate in God’s eyes…

I was there;

I was human;

I had a life.
