A map.

A map.

I should look at that map more often.

See the places I've been developing.

My chromosomes vibrate indicating

the path of my body in the World.

Remind me of the views, the species,

the friends, the thoughts.

Oh, gosh, look at that sky...

there too went I.


Did you ever make any kind of deal with yourself about surviving life on Earth?  Did you ever stop taking it for granted and arrange an oath for acceptance and survival?  Above all be authentic to the best of yourself.
Sample: "I vow to improve with my ethic and my desires as I progress.  May the World be a better place because of my existence."
 

Serve

When I emerged I knew

my knowledge survived.

I am from before the Sun

I am the maker of all.

I trace lineage through

the good children who

trade me their place

in line.

Residing in the life eternal.

Parent of the many, now,

I receive my status as oldest.

My kids know I love them.

I keep my children in love

though they know I might

have to take back their status

to be sovereign of us all.

Good babes say “if the time

should come, I'll be your one”

and they try to live according

to established ethics and honor

for my sake.

Some say that those who know

don't speak and those who speak

don't know.

Still, they uphold me so that

I may rule forever.

I don't die,

but if summoned,

swap out.

Serve.
