I will be a child again


by Roberto C. Garcia


I will be a child again

after I die.  No one

can be born fully grown

in the next world.

 

The pains about my knees,

my back, are small things,

I will be a child again,

new in a new way.

 

Unknowing, believing in

everything, wondering who

will be my mother, my father?   

I will be a child.

 

A child in a new world

by way of the old I won't remember.

Hallelujah—I will be, I will be

a child again after I die.
