Eternity

In the beginning I am what I am

In the end I am what I have become.

I came into this world with nothing

I will leave this world with nothing

Of this world

But what of the next?

In the beginning I came from somewhere

In the end I will return there.

So what was all this in between for

And what shall I leave behind

Of this world

And take to the next?

Will I recognize or remember me

Will what I know even matter

Will what I have dreamed of come true

Will what I have hoped for come to pass

Will I still know

What I have always known?

In the beginning I was what I am

In the beginning I knew what know

In the beginning and in the end

In this world and in the next

All is the same

No difference.
