Oh messenger of death, wait much longer,

I’ve just about started learning to live

I’ve just about started to discover in parts

The amazing experiences that life has to give

Oh messenger of life, what took you so long

To reveal to me this magical adventure

I guess you were at my door all the while

Waiting for me to come out and venture

Oh messenger of my Self, I am starting to hear

The amazing possibilities you envisioned for this birth

I am starting to discover the goodies you packed

And appreciate my body-mind-complex’s worth

I am only starting to discover my strengths

As I experiment with how and what I can be

Increasingly allowing myself the freedom

To be the magnificent dream that is seeded in me
