BEFORE YOUR SOUL
Where are you before you are you,
Billions of years, molecules exploding in time.
Born to this world millions of years before,
A man, you don’t speak in words but a screech.
Your first thoughts are of survival, food, and water,
Your mind and body are most unusual, not of today.
Fire has not been learned, day and night, sun and rain,
These are to you a mystery, so much you will learn,
Before your soul was created, a man you are related.
Keith Garrett
I’ve often pondered this.
