One Life and Then… Forever

Sometimes I think this life is too short for me,
When I think of all the things I want to do,
When I think of all the places I want to see,
When I think of all the people I want to love.

If I could have more eyes to see the world,
Or more ears to hear each song,
Or more hands to touch each flower,
What a marvelous thing that would be!

Perhaps I could live again and again,
To experience life anew each time,
A different person in another place,
A different world to explore each time.

But when I think about what I’ve been given,
And when I think of all the people I’ve ever loved,
I can’t help but ask to be forgiven
For wanting more than what I’ve got.

I have come to realize that I never want another me
And I wouldn’t want another life,
If that means I would forget
All the people I’ve met and loved.

Time here is short, but time here is sacred,
Each second is a portal to that which never ends,
A single song resounds forever,
A single touch can last for as long as I could remember.

I don’t need multiple parts of a fragmented life,
I don’t need to start again when I just have to say goodbye,
This life is enough… this one life that can be whole,
I know that it need not end, because of my immortal soul.
