A Crown To Win

   A Crown To Win

Your mortal parents

This time around

(And they could have been

         your children

         in a previous 

         incarnation)

Gave you the gift 

Of a vehicle, a vessel

In which, and by which, to sail

On the sea of Life 

As we have known it;

                            but

Your true Self, within

This particular such vessel,

                    is the gift

Of your Creator Source

From whence you came

And to which you are returning

After gathering gifts from

Your many journeys

To take back with You

To the thus-enhanced I

                        AM:

              the fruit

            of Your

            mutual

            labor.

Don’t let the side down,

Friend.  We have a crown

             to win.
