It was so comfortable inside
Warmth, love-
I had to do nothing
I floated in my home
I was fed spiritually and physically
My connection with the source was obvious
But my birth was inevitable
So I was born
I stayed in my room
Protected, as a child
By four walls
Friendly toys
Gentle games
No harsh reality
No wars
No negative headlines for me
But school was inevitable
So I went
After physical education class
I always wanted to stay in the showers
Warm water streaming over every outer cell on my body
Steam rising like a friendly water ghost
Tiled floor so firm
So sound I laughed
As water splashed at my feet
But my next class was inevitable
So
I went-but soon I'd be in the library
Reading about life
Reading about thoughts
Visualizing adventure
Imagining romance
Pondering
Until it was time to go home-
Then
I learned to pray
It is so comfortable inside
Warmth, love-
I have nothing to do
I float in my home
I am fed spiritually and physically
My connection with the Lord is obvious
I would like to stay inside
Where it is light
Where it is love
Where it is peace
Where all is God
And God is all
I would like to-
But from my innermost being
I hear, faintly, the cries of millions of people
Needing love, needing compassion-
And so, inevitably
I am born
Sharing His mercies everyday
Again and again,
I am born
