I shed this mortal skin I wear... and spirit flies ‘pon God’s sweet air; As mortal mind is weighted down... Spirit never touches ground. I shed this mortal skin I wear... And travel Truth without a care; Mortal mind pretends and lies and doesn’t care if spirit dies. I shed this mortal skin I wear... And spirit wishes it could share with mortal mind the gifts of Love, given from God’s world above. I shed this mortal skin I wear... And spirit sheds a single tear; for mortal mind’s calamity shorn, so few wish to become reborn. I shed this mortal skin I wear... spirit knows and spirit cares; Mortal mind has lost it’s chance to help spirit with it’s circumstance. I shed this mortal skin I wear... And spirit cries for time it shared with mortal body, blended, one - spirit lives within God’s son. © Deborah L. Kelly
