Before My Birth

The Master called
Saying, My child,
It is time

I do not promise you an easy way,
Your road will not be paved in gold.
Great beauty, fame and talent
May forever be just out of your reach.
Applause and recognition
Are guaranteed to be scarce.

But I do pledge to give you
A heart capable of loving
As deeply as is possible to man,
The gifts of devotion and loyalty
To the friends I place in your life.
A family that will love you
Always, unconditionally
A craving that only One
Will be able to fill completely
And the means to find that One

So I said yes
