Something From The Heart

I was inspired to write this poem after I read the book: "Embraced By The Light" By: Betty J. Eadie. Regardless of Whether the events that take place in this book are true or not… There is one part that rattled me to my very core! It changed me completely! People had chosen to come here to earth as poor and homeless… sleeping outside of office buildings, on park benches, standing on street corners begging for money, food, help… and passers by were being tested every second, for their level of compassion… What if that were true? How many tests have we all failed? And what can we do to change the way we feel for those less fortunate than ourselves? I want to offer this poem and donate it as an inspiration for a charitable contribution! To open up our eyes to what is right, and just! What we are here for!

What You Are Here For

Have you learned what you are here to learn?

Or will you be coming back

To make the same mistakes

You are here to love not hate

I must be an old soul

Cause when I look into the windows of yours or I hear you condemn

I know

You'll be coming back again

Until you get it right

You know we're not here to fight

But it feels like déjà vu

Because it's true

That you've been here before

And someone's keeping score

You were brought here with knowledge

As a tiny infant

Of what you are here to do

You had a heart so full of compassion

And a love so deep and true

But you've forgotten on your journey

What you came here to do

You've lost all of your innocence

From all the influences placed on you

Just look at the world around you

It's filled with misery, pain, and suffering

And history repeats itself

Because of fear and need

Planting in our hearts and minds

Burying that love you started out with,

Now you're filled with hate and greed

Have you learned what you are here for?

Or are you coming back to make the same mistakes again?

We are here to love not hate!

And on your judgment day

When you finally realize

What you didn't learn before

You will feel awakened

Be bathed in light

Receive the gift

Of insight

Your heart will fill

With the answer

You'll realize

You were put here for a purpose

Something you had to get right

You are here to find out for yourself

Love is all there is

We are not here to hate

To fight

To hurt

Or criticize

To slight

To kill

To segregate

To have ill will

Toward our family here on earth

The love, compassion empathy and understanding is what we are here to learn

And to teach it to everyone you pass

So when it's their turn

They can get it right the first time out

They won't be coming back again

Have you learned what you are here for?

Is that comprehension on your face?

Have you remembered what you came here for

In this vast enormous place

Will you pass on all your knowledge

And plant all of your seeds

So it doesn't take so many lifetimes

To stop the hating and the greed!

Or will you just be content

After you've accomplished and fulfilled

The lesson you came here to learn

Will you just sit back and

Watch it all unfold

Never to be retold

Cause now it's someone else's turn

To keep repeating the same mistakes as you

But you see

This world will never learn

Until each and every one of us know

What you are here for
