Born Again Poem by Vanessa Stallings

I was born again for the 15th time
with No memory of my previous lives
Arriving to this world
not knowing I've failed before


I lived as a girl who had a hard life
but learned how to survive
Became a mother and a wife.
The paths I chose lead me to
different people who changed me

Sometimes for the better until
I faced a judge explaining
my life had to mean much more than this

I wanted to understand and
searched for the answers....
Nothing...
Until a stranger told me there was a book he read and it was about me.

I wanted this book how could
it be.....about me?
Then it appeared in a black square
with no pages just a screen.

I read the whole book in one day,
and at the end it was not enough,
I wanted more and wished it never ended,
but it did.

I now know I've been here before,
Everything flashed thru my mind
as I put the book down

We are here to remember who we really are,
And where we come from.

To have that knowledge,
What would it be like?

I wish I could remember
